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 a game-changer for Hungrito, providing us with invaluable connections, insights, and opportunities that have significantly fueled our growth. eChai has introduced us to a global network of entrepreneurs and experts, fueling our growth and opening doors to new opportunities from Ahmedabad to Dubai. The community has become like a second family to us, providing support, guidance, and valuable insights as startup entrepreneurs."
Sahil Shah
Founder- Hungrito & Netsavvies. Digital Marketing Evangelist
“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
