Building & Scaling MVPs for Startups | CTO at AscendStudio
Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm a co-founder at AscendStudio, a technologist at heart, and a passionate advocate for startups. My journey began as an entrepreneur where I faced challenges, tasted failure, but most importantly, learned invaluable lessons. It was these experiences that honed my skills and fueled my passion for technology and startups.
In my career, I've worked extensively with early-stage startups, helping them build and scale their apps and web apps. I've been in the trenches, I've navigated the startup terrain, and now, I'm dedicated to utilizing my experiences to assist other startups in their journey from zero to one.
At AscendStudio, we're not just a service provider. We're a partner, sharing in your vision, your passion, and your success. We're here to help transform your ideas into viable, scalable MVPs, setting you on the path to success. Let's connect and ascend together.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."
Hardik Manwani
CTO, Mind Alcove
"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
yash shah
Chairman, ES Group of Companies
"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.
