More about Jaanika Jelistratov
I am the founder and CEO of VITS. A B2B SaaS company, that provides an online platform for health & safety professionals to manage their health & safety processes.
I have been an entrepreneur for almost 10 years now. The last 3 years a startup founder and I can say that it is a totally different world. I have felt the pains and gains related to founding team relations to building the product; from finding your ideal customer profile to validate the market; from finding your first customer to finding the best channels to grow your customer base.
Having those ups and downs has made me an advocate of having some activities besides your startup that balances you - is it sport, is it knitting, it doesn't matter, but it has to matter to you.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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."

"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."

"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."
