More about Pauline Laravoire
"What is a career if not meaningful and impactful?"
Even before finalising my master’s degree in Sustainability and Social Innovation from HEC Paris, I had developed an expertise in strategy consulting, social entrepreneurship and social impact assessment, especially as the co-founder of non-profit AQWA, which supports social enterprises and NGOs through social impact assessment studies.
In 2018, I moved to Kolkata, India, where I joined educational conglomerate Techno India Group, as Sustainability Director. In this position, I am striving to create more learning and professional opportunities for students in the sustainability sector, especially through our network-based venture Y-East.
I have developed an expertise and passion for building communities towards sustainability, being notably associated with the following community-based ventures: Y-East, Youth for Sustainability India Alliance and Learning Planet by CRI, France.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has been a game-changer for Hungrito, providing us with invaluable connections, insights, and opportunities that have significantly fueled our growth. eChai has introduced us to a global network of entrepreneurs and experts, fueling our growth and opening doors to new opportunities from Ahmedabad to Dubai. The community has become like a second family to us, providing support, guidance, and valuable insights as startup entrepreneurs."

“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.”

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
