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

“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.”

"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."
