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
“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.”

"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."
