Founder - Currently.club

Mitesh has taken the mammoth task of challenging the status quo of the existing social media landscape with Currently.club.

Currently, a Social Media platform connects friends and family in real-time to know who is doing what around them. Currently is a perfect place to know your friends' activity at the present moment. Knowing anyone's current activity is the most exciting thing in this digital age and currently brings the entire world's present moment to your mobile just a swipe away.

Prior building Currently, Mitesh has built hashtechy.com—an agency with 70+ Team Members who are experts in building Marketplaces. Mitesh has built 14 Marketplaces in 3 years, out of which 6 have crossed $1 Mn USD Monthly GMV.

My venture Alagrand.com (Valued at $3 Mn USD) was acquired by Pacifica Real Estate in 2019 and I built Frendy.in which is currently doing about ~1.5 Mn USD per month.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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.

Jaydip Parikh

Chief Everything Officer at Tej SolPro

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

Shalin (Shawn) Parikh

Founder, MyCPE One

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
