Sourabh Jain

CEO & Founder - the EleFant

I am Founder & CEO at EleFant, a groundbreaking app-based toy subscription service that aims to revolutionize children's play and learning experience. With over 16 years of diverse and global experience, I am a qualified Chartered Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, and Registered Independent Director, with a proven track record of delivering value-added solutions to clients and businesses across various sectors and markets.

As a co-founder of a consulting firm and a former director of supply chain management at ChaiPoint, I have developed and honed my skills in entrepreneurship, supply chain management, consulting, risk advisory, and process improvement. I have initiated and led projects that enhanced operational efficiency, cost savings, vendor relationships, and delivery performance.

At EleFant, I am combining my passion for innovation, sustainability, and women empowerment, by creating a unique business model that fosters financial independence among our librarians, managing their toy inventory and earning income, while offering an affordable, clutter-free, and continually refreshing toy experience to families. I am driven by my mission to make a meaningful difference in the world of play and learning, while also building and nurturing strong relationships with all stakeholders.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"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.

"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."
