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
"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
