An intellectual, hard-working, non-political value-adding member of the team. I have worked for more than FIVE different sectors just to understand that it requires you to be agile and enthusiastic to learn & contribute.

An MBA from Institute of Management, Nirma University I started working on my venture right from my graduation days and by the time I cleared the course, I already had my business up and running.

An entrepreneur turned ecosystem supporter trying to help budding startups in their journey that justifies my position that talks about "Innovation" and "Investment".

I am always up for a conversation over a coffee to discuss more about your startup!

It's your ability to produce leaders that make you stand out from others in the race.

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.”
