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

"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."

"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."
