Vishnu Dileesh

Founder, GritWise Club

I’m a 3x startup founder, full-stack engineer, and indie hacker, building in public and mentoring the next generation of builders.

My journey began with Swasthaadhaar and MyResQR — tackling real-world challenges in healthcare — and later evolved into building GritWise Club, a learning platform to spark deeper thinking and clearer expression among students.

As an engineer, I’ve led product teams, shipped scalable apps, and worked across cloud platforms like GCP, AWS, and DigitalOcean using Python, Node.js, Flutter, and modern JavaScript frameworks.

These days, I’m focused on launching small, purposeful apps as an indie hacker — documenting the journey, sharing lessons, and mentoring creators who want to build with curiosity, clarity, and courage.

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.”

Managing Partner - STIR Advisors

"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."

Shalin (Shawn) Parikh

Founder, MyCPE One

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
