More about Kinjal Shah
Founder of Shwas - Breathe Life Into + Educator + Social Worker
For most of us 30 year olds are synonymous with taking toddler steps in their career, partying hard and leading a care free life. Not Kinjal shah, she took a conscious decision to don an important role early at 18 in her life. She is a trustee at SHWAS a non profit organization which essentially looks into education of underprivileged kids.
Starting with 3 kids in 2008, Kinjal teaches 650 slum kids in 9 communities everyday to provide them quality education. She believes that the only difference between them and us is the availability of resources and opportunities and her soul lies in bridging that gap. There have been a lot of challenges in her 11 years journey but that does not stop her from providing quality education to slum kids every passing day.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
