More about Hunny Bhagchandani
I, Hunny Bhagchandani, Founder of TorchIt, social innovator share a keen sense to bring change in the society by empowering the differently abled community with the Power of Independence.
Growing up in a modern Sindhi business family in Ahmedabad, I acquired the traits of being compassionate while also bringing economics to everything where if a thing is not effective and sustainable, it wouldn’t survive the test of time.
I pursued my Bachelors in Industrial Engineering from Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU), India. I have to my credit Leadership Innovation fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK; also, fellow at Enabling Toys, MIT Media Lab, US.
The idea behind TorchIt remains to bring innovative products for Differently Abled community, so they can lead their lives independently.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"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."

"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."
