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

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

"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."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
