More about Aditi Mali
Farmer · Academician · Urban Planner · Consultant
I am a town planner, agriculturist, and academician. I hold an MSc in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security from Royal Agricultural University, UK and a Bachelors in Planning from CEPT University, India. My master’s journey made her realize that there is a lack of understanding of food systems in planning education which is very crucial for any settlement and community development. My specialization lies in the marriage of town planning and agricultural themes like rural planning, regional planning, master planning, agriculture, and urban agriculture. I have also published research papers in the same themes. I am a freelance faculty who recently did an Open Elective course at NID on urban agriculture and a visiting studio faculty for the Bachelor of Planning students at IAPNU, Nirma University.
Founder of Mali Greens, an Urban Farm in Ahmedabad.
I was awarded the Young Development Agriculturalist 2021 (overseas based) Award by The Tropical Agricultural Association (TAA), United Kingdom (UK).

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
Bhavin S Bhagat
Co-founder of Indiabizforsale and IBGrid, TiE Ahmedabad President
“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
Syed Nadeem Jafri
Founder, Hearty Mart
“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!”
