More about Atul Poharkar

With our smartphones getting smarter, the world is now one big mobile marketplace, and we are free to wheel our cart to anywhere we like. What I find fascinating is how the evolution of mobile tech is changing consumer behavior and vice versa, leading to a complete transformation of the e-commerce industry.

At Plobal Apps, a SaaS company, we are an AI powered mobile commerce platform, that empowers fast growing brands to scale, by building native apps for their business. In under 5 minutes, and with zero coding. With native iOS and android mobile apps, we boost their conversion rates by up to 3x and focus not just on installs but increased revenues through our data driven approach. All of this, along with smart analytics and a dedicated customer success team, makes us the highest rated mobile app platform on the Shopify app store, year after year.

The dream is to build the best app commerce platform in the world and with every new entrepreneur we onboard at Plobal Apps, we are one step closer to fulfilling dreams - theirs and ours. Learning from their stories, staying curious about our consumers and leveraging digitization helps us stay one step ahead of the game.

As more and more people become mobile-first consumers, I am excited about what the future holds in store for us at Plobal, and for our community. It has been a whirlwind journey and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

“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."

“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!”
