Varun Panchal - Head of HR | Operations

Varun Panchal

Head of HR | Operations

As the Head of HR, I oversee the entire recruitment and onboarding process, from crafting job descriptions to securing top talent. In addition, I manage day-to-day HR operations, including induction, training, payroll, and employee engagement. My role also extends to leading operations and IT, where I engage in client and vendor interactions and oversee the setup and management of the office's IT infrastructure.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Journalism & Mass Communication with a specialization in Public Relations, along with a PGDM Certificate in Human Resource Management. My career journey has taken me through various roles, each offering unique opportunities for growth and skill development. Through these experiences, I've honed my abilities in networking, teamwork, adaptability, communication, work ethics, and meeting or often exceeding challenging deadlines.

Outside of work, I'm a passionate marathon runner, a travel photographer, and an enthusiast of heritage and archaeological sites.

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."

"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 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."
