More about Kathan Desai
Founder & COO at BugBase
BugBase is the world's first continuous vulnerability assessment platform enabling companies to implement bug bounty programs into their existing SDLC to identify critical business logic and zero day flaws that traditional methods cannot identify due to lack of context.
I identify real-world issues and build products to resolve them using cutting-edge technology and effective business strategies. I effectively collaborate with teams to scale, build, and grow businesses.
Throughout my career, I have held various positions where I have learned about product management, product development, business and growth strategies, B2B marketing and sales, and team building.
My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following characteristics about myself:
1. I am capable of developing and implementing business strategies.
2. I am capable of leading and motivating large teams of people working in various domains.
3. I am not afraid to try new things.
4. I learn from my mistakes and grow as a person as a result of them.
5. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their lives.
Please contact me if you want to talk about startups, technology, team building, or product development.

"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."
