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

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
