Satyen Engineer

Founder, YHonk Tech Pvt Ltd

I am into business for over 25 years in distribution and networking, having worked with a Fortune 500 MNC. I am also a social entrepreneur who is deeply committed to promoting global sustainability. As the founder and inventor of YHonk, an innovative patent-pending technology for vehicular honking abatement, have established myself as a leading innovator in the noise pollution space in India.
Have been privileged to receive numerous accolades for my work, including recognition as a top emerging start-up from Gujarat and as a global social entrepreneur by the Tie Global Sustainability Summit in 2021. has also been a winner at the #innovate4sdg competition by UNDP, which showcases innovations that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
In addition to working on YHonk, i am involved in mentoring and advising promising start-ups in the areas of waste management, edtech, and D2C. Am also an active consultant and advisor to Wealth out of Waste (WoW), a waste management company, and DuroGreen waste management pvt Ltd, a business organisation into wet waste solutions.
I can without any hard feelings say that, one of my dream startup as a co-founder Tod (Transport on Demand) an Uber of intracity logistics, failed miserably after 2 yrs of hardwork in the year 2015.
My passion for environmental sustainability extends beyond business endeavors. has been working tirelessly to promote the NUC (Noise Under Control) mandate in India, and has personally traveled over 18,000 km across the country, covering 29 state capitals in just 29 days. With an extensive library of over 700 books and 5000 saved articles on Evernote, as a lifelong learner who is always seeking new opportunities for growth and innovation.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"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."

“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.”
