Uma Mittal

Founder, Fume.fit

I am Uma Mittal, the Founder of FUME, a Weight Loss Coach, and a Health Influencer.

My journey began with a strong focus on education, culminating in an MBA from NIT Kurukshetra. I then embarked on a corporate career, but life took a turn as family commitments increased, leading to significant weight gain.

After my second child, I found myself struggling with obesity, which affected my energy levels and overall well-being. Determined to reclaim my health, I successfully lost 19 kilograms in less than six months. The transformation was so remarkable that my family and friends were astounded by my youthful appearance.

Inspired by my personal success, I decided to turn my passion into a profession. In 2021, I founded FUME, a startup dedicated to weight loss transformations. Since then, I have helped over 4,628 individuals achieve their weight loss goals.

My weight loss journey has also been featured in the Times of India, highlighting my dedication and success.

Currently, I am on a mission to help 100,000 people lose belly fat and rejuvenate their lives.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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.

“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.”

"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."
