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 isnβt just a startup community β¦ itβs a mindset .Β eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. Itβs been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. Iβve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here β people who genuinely want to see you succeed.Β Itβs a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. Iβll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders donβt just grow businesses β they grow together."

βeChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasnβt 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.β
