More about Nirav Akshay Oza

I'm Nirav Akshay Oza, CEO of Efcee Hotels, a seasoned hotelier and businessman with a passion for building brands and networks. With over a decade of experience leading business operations for top hotel management firms and enterprise organisations around the world, I bring a unique blend of hospitality expertise and business acumen to the table.

At Efcee Hotels, we are focused on developing a comprehensive hospitality business that incorporates the latest industry trends and innovations. We are currently in the process of expanding our hotel asset portfolio, with a range of hotels managed by different companies.

I am particularly proud of our role in establishing the Efcee Sarovar Portico, a landmark hotel in Bhavnagar with over 100 keys and multiple F&B outlets. Additionally, we have overseen the conversion of a 4-star hotel in Ahmedabad into a new five-star hotel managed by the prestigious Taj Group under their Vivanta brand.

My international hotel management degree from the Pacific International Hotel Management School in New Zealand, the School of Hotel Management at the International Hotel and Tourism Institute in Switzerland, and the Blue Mountain School of Hotel Management in NSW, Australia, provides me with a strong foundation in the hospitality industry.

I'm always interested in networking and exploring new opportunities, so please feel free to reach out and connect with me. Let's work together to build something great!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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!”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
