More about Kriti Shastry
Founder at Bawse Socials | Marketing Expert | Social Media Strategist | Business Mentor to Coaches & Freelancers
As a Computer Science engineer & a corporate dropout, I set out to follow my passion & create a unique path for myself in 2016 through the field of fitness coaching. I built my personal brand for fitness coaching & launched my own business in 2017. Within 2 years, I grew my online fitness coaching business to 6 figures without any paid marketing. I was able to build a lifestyle that I loved, doing what I loved doing & there was nothing else that was more exciting than this outcome.
This growth led me to pursue an MBA in marketing to understand digital marketing better & to be able to help others do the same what I was able to create for myself. During this course, I launched my own business coaching brand to help other coaches & brands build & grow their businesses online. I was able to quickly acquire clients & grow this business to cross 6 figures in the first year & expanded the services to social media strategy & marketing consultancy.
I also launched an activewear clothing brand in 2019 called 'Namora'. This was inspired by my own personal struggle of finding good quality activewear for women. However, this project was disrupted by the pandemic & is currently on hold.
Currently, I work with various brands in industries ranging from fitness to the education sector helping them with their social media & marketing strategy. I also offer business mentorship to freelancers & coaches looking to build & grow a personal brand.
My expertise includes business solutions, business mentorship, social media strategy, content strategy, team management, project planning & management, product marketing, brand re-alignment, business growth strategy among others.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
Harsha Bhurani
Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group
"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."
