More about Disha Parekh

I have diverse experience across Risk Advisory, Private Banking, HR Consulting, Learning & Development and Research & Analytics in large multinational organisations like Ernst & Young and HSBC. Along the way I had the opportunity to work with multiple cross-functional, cross cultural teams and execute large international deliverables.

I am currently building 1HR.market - a tech enabled curated HR Marketplace for on-demand procurement of HR services and products. We are the future of HR outsourcing - a rising trend expedited by the distributed workforce of the "new normal". 

We are committed towards enabling HR teams to be more agile and effective. We are curating a single, multi geography marketplace that provides the full spectrum of HR offerings to businesses across the globe. 

We offer solutions around Talent Management, D&I, Employee Engagement, Learning and Development, HR Analytics, Gamification, R&R, CompBen, HR Policy & Compliance, HR Operations & Admin, CHRO on demand, Startup HR Toolkit and other HR innovations through a community of HR practitioners, independent HR consultants, HR boutique firms and HR Startups.

For our supply side partners, we create a level playing field which gives them an opportunity to compete and win based on the merits of proven performance, expertise, and passion.

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.

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
