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.

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.

“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.”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
