More about Abheejit

In short, my work is multifarious in nature spanning inclusive innovation, space research and entrepreneurship. The words that define my persona are - Dreamer. Innovator. Orator. Traveler. Poet. Batman.

After exploring several roles in the past decade, I found my passion to work on inclusive projects that use technology to improve lives. I ran two EdTech Startups, served as a fellow for Clean India Mission, built a regional startup community of over 5000 people. Tying everything together, in 2018, with my mentors I formed the Vruksh Ecosystem Foundation, a non-profit focussed towards building a culture of innovation, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship in underserved geographies to solve local problems and #BuildTheFuture.

The pandemic exposed the problem of inaccessible education for several rural children. My team & I are currently building a text & audio-based learning tool to address this digital divide and help children learn.

Reach out if you want to talk about technology, business, space or even comic books. I keep getting invited to deliver talks and conduct training; call me if you feel I can add value somewhere!

If I can't be of service, I may know others who can meet your needs. I believe in creating and fostering relationships - and giving back - keeping the head high and the feet grounded.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
