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.

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
