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
"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."

"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."

“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.”
