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.

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
