More about Pooja Dhole

Pooja is on the mission to help brands and entrepreneurs reach the highest potential of their business. As a marketing consultant, she has spent 4+ years creating engaging content, building better marketing strategies, and building funnels to reach their ideal client and convert more leads. 

To achieve anything great, she truly believes the courage to explore and experiment is the answer. She followed the same value throughout her career. After graduating in Computer Science and Engineering, she explored a lot of different career paths, from business journalist to analyst to content creator early in her career. Finally fell in love with digital marketing. 

This journey also helped her create “Being Actualized”, a career exploration platform where she helps ambitious people explore their ideal career path. The rule is simple: Career is like dating! Explore until you found the one, don’t settle! Once you found the one, it's easy to advance and build a better, more fulfilling life. 

Alongside a bachelor’s degree in computer science and engineering, she had also studied documentaries and broadcast journalism at the Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media, Bangalore. Her expertise in this area helps her understand market psychology and humor in the current system, which now helps her build better marketing campaigns that get results. 

When she is not developing marketing strategies or helping her client get a better career, she loves doing stand-up comedy in nearly open mics. In 2019, she was nominated as the "Top 5" comic to look out for by The Grin Evolution.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

“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.”
