Shiven Raut

Engineer at Shell | IIT Bombay

Bengaluru

I’m a recent graduate from IIT Bombay. My passion lies at the intersection of environmental sustainability and innovative problem-solving. Armed with both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Environmental Management and Technology, I've had the privilege to collaborate with esteemed institutions like the National University of Singapore and the Pollution Control Boards of Maharashtra focused on key environmental challenges and policy frameworks.

My journey doesn't stop there. I've also delved into the realm of product management, honed my skills at Reliance Jio and Gupshup in the PM space. I also hold a degree in Industrial Design from IDC School of Design, Mumbai, which has equipped me with a unique perspective in tackling complex challenges by design thinking.

I love playing tennis and listening to Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Always excited to connect with new and passionate people!

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.”

"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."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
