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
"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."

"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 - itβs one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, Iβve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
Shalin (Shawn) Parikh
Founder, MyCPE One
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; itβs been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. Iβve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. ΰ€Έΰ€ΰ€ΰ€ΰ₯ΰ€ΰ€§ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€ ΰ€Έΰ€ΰ€΅ΰ€¦ΰ€§ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€ β Let us move together, speak together. Itβs not just a verse from the Rigveda β itβs how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We donβt just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
