More about Nivin Joseph

Operations and community manager at Draper Startup House, India

At Draper Startup House, I've spun my magic as an Operations and Community Manager, honing the art of entrepreneurial alchemy for over five years. From conjuring up operational efficiency to nurturing a community of startup wizards, I've been a catalyst for turning business lead into entrepreneurial gold.

In my dual role, I've orchestrated a symphony of startup success. My baton? A finely tuned customer journey map that sings a harmony of understanding customers' needs and pain points. The result? A chorus of customer successes and a crescendo of business growth!

My masterpiece? A thriving, vibrant community of entrepreneurial maestros, all playing the beautiful symphony of industry innovation. Each one passionate, each one ready to change the world note by note.

Now, let's switch the tempo a bit and talk about my personal interests. I'm a certified Bitcoin buff, always ready to discuss the future of this digital gold. I've got a soft spot for this particular cryptocurrency, and don't mind exchanging thoughts on how this golden coin might shape our future.

So, whether it's discussing the potential of Bitcoin, or turning the wheels of business operations, I'm your maestro, orchestrating the extraordinary from the ordinary with a sprinkle of quirky charm.

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."

"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."

“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."
