Making Natural Material Products Mainstream | Human & Nature Interactions | Progress rooted in nature
A combination of growing up in a handicraft business family and a career in Brand building for highly aggressive competitive strong mass brands has culminated into my journey of creating DaisyLife.
I am a modern optimist and I believe that progress is rooted in nature. I am actively working with the purpose to transform modern living with 3 primary objectives -
1.Make sustainable natural materials a part of everyday life to increase human and nature interaction effortlessly thus improve quality of life.
2.Improve the livelihoods of craftsmen and their families making mass handicrafts.

An adventurer of sorts, I enjoy experimenting, exploring new markets, local products, learning new skills, playing golf, intuitive cooking and engaging in deep conversations over coffee about business and life.

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.
Jaydip Parikh
Chief Everything Officer at Tej SolPro
“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."

"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."
