Intern at Livspace, IIM Kozhikode, Solnce Energy

🟡 I have deep interest in business, startups, management consulting, marketing. I've been exploring it for the last 2 years, so I now possess a solid understanding of how businesses function, develop, and manage their teams, products, markets, brands, and corporate cultures, customer insights, analyzing market segment, analyzing brand, market positioning.

🟡 I constantly keep updating myself by listening to the latest business podcasts and reading business books. I explored Business strategy and Marketing strategy of 150+ start-ups and the number is increasing day by day.

🟡 Previously I worked with Livspace for the project of expansion of Livspace's retail store in tier-1 cities in my summer internship, It really helped me to explore retail sector of india. I got overview of every single domain in retail like electronics, automobiles, salon, cosmetic store, watch brands, cafes, jewelry, interior design companies, furniture store, home automation companies, clothing brands, mattress stores, marble & tile store, bathroom supply stores, lighting store, paint industry, home appliance store, bags & luggage, eyewear companies, shoes brands, baby store, etc.

🟡 I have worked as an research intern at IIM Kozhikode on the topic of digitization of small businesses. Meeting 50 store owners was a wonderful experience; they mostly owned restaurants and clothing stores. I asked them 75+ questions, including how much money they had invested when they first opened, what obstacles they faced when moving their operations online, whether they were satisfied with their choice and investment, and whether digitization had increased their sales.

🟡I also followed my curiosity and tried out for a internship at Solnce Energy, which gave me a thorough understanding of the solar industry. I also worked as the sponsorship coordinator for Sparsh, the annual cultural festival of SVNIT Surat in the years 2022 and 2023, which gave me an abundance of sales experience. I went through the process of experiencing the deep joy of rejection and approaching the next potential sponsors with full of my energy, which was a memorable experience of college.

🟡 After doing so much exploration, I discovered a few traits about myself that defined who I am: I'm a Super Pumped Explorer, Resilient and Realistic Optimist, Creative Thinker, Decisive Leader, Responsible Collaborator, Influential Networker, Critical Analyst, an Intelligent Curious.

🟡 I am pre final year student at SVNIT Surat, pursuing B.Tech in Chemical Engineering but currently exploring Commerce by choice :)

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.”
