Problem Solver , Innovation

Started my Entrepreneur journey 3 years back. I have worked in FPGA Design/Verification for almost 18 yrs in Organisations like Cisco, eInfochip, Sasken,..

Theirs an Interesting story when it all Started, I had gone for my H1B interview in Chennai, after my interview was done while coming out I saw few young kids, enjoying their students visa approval. Something just struck me and I thought I need to do something for my country, not knowing what but something.
My H1 got approved, but still I was not able to go. I stayed back just of faith of doing something.
3 yrs back I thought this is the time, I had 4-5 ideas and I started working on them, each of them is at different stages. Till now I have never regretted my decision , in fact I am proud of it.

This 3 yrs journey had thought me a lot, most importantly having Faith in yourself, trust yourself, and most importantly be patient.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
