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

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

“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."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
