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

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."
Mehul Shah
Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth
"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.
Jaydip Parikh
Chief Everything Officer at Tej SolPro
"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
