More about Abhishek Ballabh

My Journey from being one of the first employees of Mindtickle, an award-winning and fast-growing Accel/NEA funded startup, to becoming a Startup Leadership Fellow 2015 @ Pune, India, and then co-founding ExtraaEdge, with Sushil has been fascinating.

An engineer at heart, and an entrepreneur for life, I believe that what makes a company are its people. What makes an organization successful is how the people act and make decisions. Off the record ;) I am a blogger, a voracious reader, a drummer and love running.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey β€” even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support.Β 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 β€” both personally and professionally β€” in ways that are hard to articulate.Β 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."

β€œeChai 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.”

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
