Tarang Jadafiya

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

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"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."

"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.
