More about Payal Shah
I started working in Human Resources a bit by accident :)
I started my career as a Software Developer with Smithe Technologies Pvt. Ltd., and being a member of IT department, I was involved in developing software for the healthcare industry. We (I was part of the team) developed EMR (Electronic Medical Records) for one of our clients based in US. As my career progressed, I got a chance to lead the team, and the role itself called for conversing with client and understanding his requirements, distributing the work to the team members and helping them.
Thanks to this role, it made me realize that I was a people’s person, someone who is gregarious and enjoys being around people. Also, my verbal communication skills helped me express my ideas clearly, precisely and confidently. Things were going ahead smoothly, but accidents happen :) And yes I got married, I went on a sabbatical for 6 months to balance my personal life. After which, I thought of taking up a different job, a job that helped me identify, develop, empower and facilitate people to work at their highest level. Opportunity struck and I started working as a People Manager at Digicorp.
In the last 13 years of my career with Digicorp, as a HR Manager, I have gained experience in talent acquisition, talent development, talent assessment, organization development and culture. I am at my best when exposed to a positive, creative and a dynamic environment. And thanks to Digicorp who has helped me evolve and work at par by providing a conducive environment.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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."
Bhavin S Bhagat
Co-founder of Indiabizforsale and IBGrid, TiE Ahmedabad President
“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
Syed Nadeem Jafri
Founder, Hearty Mart
“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!”
