More about Megha Thakker
Media professional | Unbeatable energy bomb on stage (super experienced EMCEE-premium corporate & social events | Certified soft skills trainer | Communication Consultant | Talk-show host | Digital junkie.
AS A CHILD- I always came up with boring & quite a borrowed, hereditary kind of an answer when it came to my career goal. I thought, if nothing, I shall practice law (as my family has 13 lawyers including my parents & elder brother). If not for law, I'll apply as a professor of social science at some college (Oh yea, mom & grandpa happened to be celebrated orators & activists all their lives).
But, I somehow grew up to be a shy kid with great amount of stage fright, when away from my comfort zone.
WHAT HELPED ME PURSUE MY SECRET DREAM-
Did theatres for 3 years & life took a U-turn!
In due course, I became what I secretly dreamt of as a kid from the 90s, but lacked the confidence to share it publicly (dreamt of becoming a news-reader with some top channel).
Cut to 2007, I was hosting SRK for a national event, attended by thousands of fans which got covered by all top news channels including the Stars, Times & Zees of the world.
Eventually, I turned out to be a thorough media professional with an experience into print-electronic-audio & web media starting 2006.
WHY ME-
Passionate about growing teams and dreams? You have stopped by the right profile. From state-national-international NGO & Govt. events, multiple fortune 500 companies & numerous sports gatherings, corporate events, big fat destination weddings, products & services launches, inaugurations, awards nights & annual meet-ups! You name it & I have held the mic for all.
TILL NOW-
Have been a consistently top-voted RJ with Mirchi for 8.5 years.
Associated with 7 national TV Channels as a freelance TV show host, over the past few years.
Web-show called India Film Project TalkShop on YouTube & Gaana Originals attracted around 2 million eyes and ears.
Have hosted a LIVE chat-show series from Facebook, India headquarters.
Have lifetime memories & privilege of hosting & interviewing top Bollywood stars like senior & junior Bachhan, Shahrukh/Aamir/Salman Khan, AkshayKumar, AjayDevgan, ShahidKapoor, AyushmannKhurrana, Akhtars, VickyKaushal, RajkumarRao, MadhuriDixit, KatrinaKaif, AishwaryaRai, PankajTripathi, NawazuddinSiddiqui & more than 200+ top notch big and small screen actors, film-directors & YouTubers.
Based out of Ahmedabad, but my work takes me across borders.
Rationalist | Egalitarian | Eco-warrior (considering my 1st job was with CEE).
When not romancing the microphone I will be found playing TT or badminton, listening to an audio book, binging YouTube or Netflix & often found dreaming about my next holiday!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“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.”

Managing Partner - STIR Advisors
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."
