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 attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"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."
