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.
3.Reducing the impact on climate change by making sustainable natural materials popular.
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
“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.”

Managing Partner - STIR Advisors
"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."
