Sheel Damani

Founder and Principal Strategist, Fruitfly Design

With a career spanning over 16 years, I have found navigating the ever-evolving design landscape to be a deeply rewarding journey. Along the way, I have honed my craft and expanded my expertise across diverse sectors, transitioning from visual communication to strategic design that address complex challenges and create unparalleled value.

At the heart of my philosophy is a resolute belief in design’s potential to drive business transformation. I see design as the connective tissue between a company’s vision and its audience’s perception, seamlessly fusing strategic intent with immersive user experiences.

In addition to shaping Fruitfly and leading cross-functional teams, I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of designers. From undergraduate to master’s students at institutions like NID, NIFT and Anant National University, I focus on cultivating their ability to think critically, design purposefully, and navigate the industry with confidence.

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!”

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
