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 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."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

“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.”
