More about Asmita Khobragade
Co-founder & CTO at FarmDidi | Social Entrepreneur | One and Half decade of IT Industry experience
I am a social entrepreneur who is building FarmDidi, a for-profit social startup with a twofold vision i.e. provide healthy, natural, and authentic food products while empowering 1 million rural women. After working in the IT industry for more than one and half decade, I found a purpose with FarmDidi, where I am using my technical experience to scale, sustain and manage the simple yet most complex to execute business model.
With the team of 15 passionate people towards the purpose and a zest to win, we certified 349 rural women on FSSAI food regulations, enabled 550 partner didis on food entrepreneurship and impacted 43 villages so far. All the food products listed on www.farmdidi.com are traditional, natural and healthy sourced directly from hygienic traditional rural kitchens. Our aim is to provide the nostalgic regional quality handmade food products within India and around the globe.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
