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

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"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.
