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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
