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

"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."

“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."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
