More about Aswani Chaitanya N
I'm an entrepreneur turned VC with 15+ years of corporate experience, including leadership roles at Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs (USA & UK). Before Capital-A, I founded and scaled Timios, a healthy snack brand for kids.
With experience as a founder and an investor, I get the intricacies of business from both sides. Let's connect and create lasting value together.
..
Capital-A is THE start-up for start-ups – a venture fund for seed to early stage meaningful start-ups. We are here for founders and co-founders who eat, sleep and drink their business.
We’re always there to work alongside these passionate people, and not above them, to help them succeed. Our aspiration is to either lead the round, or be in the game as co-investors. Nothing less suffices. The fund is led by Ankit Kedia, former promoter of Manjushree Technopack Ltd., the largest manufacturers of rigid plastics packaging in the entire South Asia region. The company was divested to Advent International in 2018.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
