More about Anish Malpani

Currently building Ashaya, a social enterprise focused on increasing the value of waste through deep tech and fairly redistributing that value to stakeholders in the supply chain, especially those that are the most poor: waste-pickers.

Believe that there is no place for poverty in the world we live in. Also believe in finding sustainable, scalable solutions that do not depend on aid or donations, and in the importance of local social entrepreneurs.

9 years of experience in finance, operations, data and the social impact space. Currently on three boards of impact organisations in three different countries whom I have had the fortune to work closely with.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"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 - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
