Zaid Ahmed

National Sales Manager, Avis India
  • Bengaluru

With over a decade of hands-on experience in business development, sales, and hospitality, I bring a results-driven approach as a Restaurateur and Business Developer, with a strong focus on revenue growth and strategic corporate partnerships.

As the founder of an award-winning café brand in Bangalore, I’ve not only built a thriving hospitality venture from the ground up but also turned it into a go-to partner for corporate and institutional clients. My journey has been defined by a deep understanding of market dynamics and a relentless commitment to aligning business goals with client needs.

I’ve led the charge in cultivating and managing high-value partnerships with Fortune 500 companies, event agencies, and premier educational institutions. These collaborations have powered over 60+ large-scale corporate and social events—each one a new milestone in brand visibility, revenue growth, and customer loyalty.

My expertise lies in uncovering untapped opportunities, crafting tailored solutions, and forging long-term relationships that deliver mutual value. Whether it’s through innovative revenue models or personalized client engagement, I thrive on building scalable, sustainable growth.

Above all, I’m passionate about turning great ideas into thriving ventures—and using collaboration as the fuel for long-term success and expansion.

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.”

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."
