More about Naman Sarawagi

Building Refrens.com- a market network for B2B service providers. 

Independent Director - E2E Networks Limited - IPO 2018. 
Early Investor- Cashfree, DailyNinja, Holidify, SpringRole, BBetter, Sugoi, Walrus, Piggyride, Arintra. 


Last startup - FindYogi.com - profitable, sold to Way2 News. 

Earlier, I helped build Freecharge.in from an idea to its first 100K users. As the first hire, I was handling product, marketing, and technology single-handed. The customer acquisition cost and rate of growth that I commanded is never heard of in Indian eCommerce space - 2K transactions/day in less than 100 days from launch @ less than Rs.4/user. Sorry, couldn't make it sound more modest. :)

I left Freecharge to join ZipDial. The "missed call" idea behind ZipDial is something I had worked on back in college. We built a prototype and won couple of awards at BPlan competitions. ZipDial was taking it commercial and it seemed a promising team to work with. At ZipDial as well I was the first hire. I started as a product manager, moved into enterprise sales and marketing. 

All this while I also blogged about startups and consumer web in India at NextBigWhat.com, contributing 250+ articles.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“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!”
