More about Chandan Mishra

A User Experience and Interaction Designer with more than 10 years of experience in design and entrepreneurship, currently Director of Design at Coditas, I am ardent about humanizing user experiences and enabling businesses to achieve success through Design Strategy.

In 2012, at the age of 22, I bootstrapped SudoSaints Infotech Pvt. Ltd., a design-driven mobile app development startup that was acquired by Coditas in 2015. Right now, I am leading and scaling a team of passionate designers and in the past 7 years, we have helped make Coditas an organization of 750+ top-notch engineers and designers.

Design is the fastest-growing business unit at Coditas. I started with a team of 3 designers, and we are now 80 members considering all verticals, with a healthy ratio between male & female team members. Designing the team is complex yet the most satisfying work I have done so far. It includes the entire lifecycle - from recruitment, onboarding, structuring the team, identifying and promoting leadership, and client engagement, to grooming the team and conducting training exercises.

I am always looking to collaborate with companies across all scales to help them get their UX out and out. I keep educating myself and others on what design actually is, how to use it and how it is beyond certain boundaries. If you want to geek out on UX or thinking to pursue a career in Design, let’s chat.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. 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."

“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."
