More about Marit Alaväli
I am a human, a woman, a mother and an entrepreneur with my strengths and weaknesses, feelings and emotions. Started my career as an assistant, grew step by step from HR manager to CEO, then to entrepreneur. Experienced success, challenges and burn-down in business. Recovered and learnt from the experiences - the practical steps on what to do differently, what to avoid and how to manage the pain and emotions. I don’t regret it. Today I am thankful and I’ve understood that the journey has changed me to be a better, a stronger and more experienced person.
I love working with people even though sometimes it’s challenging and I don’t fully understand them. For years, I have been working to change the mindset in recruitment. I truly believe that a work relationship must be a partnership and it starts with the right mindset in recruitment. The way I contribute to change the mindset is through Recrur.
Recrur connects the best candidates, employers and the recruiters without any hassle!
It does not matter what or where I work, it matters how I do it - valuing people around me, working to meet goals and enjoying the process. When it is over, it’s time to step out of the boat and find a new challenge.

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.

"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."
