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

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s 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. I’ve 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€šΰ₯ΰ€›ΰ€§ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€‚ ΰ€Έΰ€‚ΰ€΅ΰ€¦ΰ€§ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€‚ – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda β€” it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

β€œWhen 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.Β 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.Β 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!”
