More about Himanshu Upreti
Co-Founder & CTO at AI Palette | Forbes 30 under 30 | Ex-Visa, IIT
We believe the world would be a better place if the Food Companies could create products that the consumers really want. So we are building the World's First AI Engine to make it possible! At Ai Palette, we do CPG Product Innovation using our patent-pending AI technology. With our platform, we empower brands to identify the white space opportunity and generate product concepts using cutting-edge AI which can help them to launch their next consumer product in the market. Our vision is to bridge the gap between consumers and brands and democratize the consumer understanding ranging from the biggest of the Fortune 500 companies to the smallest of the D2C brands.
Ai Palette was incubated at the deep-tech startup accelerator, Entrepreneur First (EF) Singapore. EF brings together extraordinary people to build deep tech startups from scratch.
I previously worked at Visa Inc. in the division Visa Data Labs immediately post my graduation from IIT Guwahati (B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing). My primary work involved building data products and driving PoCs on Visa's Big Data Platform to create a more seamless and faster payment experience. I am quite well versed and certified in Hadoop, Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and its related components. I also had had an opportunity to showcase my 'victorious' Hackathon app to hitherto CEO of Visa, Charles W. Scharf.
I've been a regular speaker at the Big Data and Machine Learning events such as the Data Science UA Conference, DataTalks Club, and Entrepreneur First Tech Scout sessions. Apart from work, I am a dedicated fitness enthusiast, avid cinephile, and voracious reader.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has been a game-changer for Hungrito, providing us with invaluable connections, insights, and opportunities that have significantly fueled our growth. eChai has introduced us to a global network of entrepreneurs and experts, fueling our growth and opening doors to new opportunities from Ahmedabad to Dubai. The community has become like a second family to us, providing support, guidance, and valuable insights as startup entrepreneurs."

Founder- Hungrito & Netsavvies. Digital Marketing Evangelist
"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 isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
