With education and experience in Computer Applications/ERP/Finance, Kishore has helped multiple global clients in their IT Transformation journey across the globe

He is deeply interested in below areas where he believes TECH+HUMAN combination can unleash immense potential:
1)Right skilling of Graduates: India generates millions of graduates and also has lots of job and entrepreneurial opportunities, however there is gap in academic education as well as requisite skills

2) With a super successful PUBLIC DIGITAL Tech stack, though we have eased the life of citizens and businesses, we also opened up lots of back gates which have now become land mines for cyber crime.

3) With increasing tax/statutory and legal regulations, small and medium businesses need to be able to adhere their business processes at scale

4) Indian health care system can contribute and leverage at the same time the HEALTH TECH AI Journey to be able to reach out to the masses in remote areas, bring down the overall costs by an impactful manner, and improve the quality of life

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
