More about Balamurali T R
Ever since I was a teenager , I was deeply fascinated by the Zen philosophy of " Have a not known mind" -In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s there are few.
Due to this, I have always strived to put myself in situations where I have the most to learn and the opportunity to bring something new to the table.
During my career I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with and mentored by some of the best professionals in the country in the marketing, creative,growth and product space
This has immensely helped me in understanding business problems and approaching it with the right mindset, managing teams in an efficient manner and always keeping up with the latest developments in the industry
Key Highlights
- Have worked with India's biggest conglomerate in ideating, testing product idea for an IP in their b2b retail space. This was followed by successfully heading the project for execution of the said idea and scaling it to a pan India level in a span of 6 months.
- Have worked on defining and creating the online channels customer acquisition strategy for India's biggest D2C mother/personal care brand and supervised the execution of the first phase of the same
Have successfully built a 4 figure paying customer community to drive revenues of mid-7 figure monthly revenues without the help of performance marketing/paid media online channels. Successfully built through referral loop and sampling

- I am avid Football,UFC and cricket fan. I have an avid reading habit focussing on history, economics and business

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“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.”

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.

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."

“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!”
