More about Pooja Kaul
Founder at Organiko-Beautifying Life || Forbes 30U30 Asia|| Princess of Wales The Diana Award 2020 || Ministry of MSME Emerging Woman Entrepreneur 2022
I'm an ambitious and passionate individual with a Master's in Social Entrepreneurship and over 7 years of invaluable experience in the development sector. My journey as a change maker began when I founded my own social enterprise, Organiko, during my college days. It all started as a seemingly unconventional idea to create a skincare brand using the ancient Egyptian beauty secret of donkey milk, known for its natural anti-aging properties. Despite initial skepticism, I persevered, and today, I am proud to say that I am at the forefront of history, having successfully launched India's first-ever skincare brand centered around this remarkable ingredient.
My entrepreneurial venture has not only garnered numerous recognitions and accolades but has also been featured in prominent publications such as Forbes 30 under 30 Asia list, the Wales of Princess Daina Award, and the MSME Emerging Women Entrepreneur Award, among others. These honors stand as a testament to the impact and innovation that Organiko brings to the beauty and skincare industry.
Passionate about teaching and public speaking, I actively engage in sharing my knowledge on social entrepreneurship, leadership, impact, social innovation, product design, and government schemes for startups. As an experienced public speaker, I have had the privilege of inspiring diverse audiences with my entrepreneurial journey and insights. My desire to mentor aspiring entrepreneurs and students is deeply rooted in the belief that every idea, no matter how unconventional it may seem, has the potential to transform into a meaningful venture.
My forte lies in business development, and I possess a keen eye for spotting opportunities even in the most challenging situations. Turning seemingly "stupid" ideas into ventures with a significant social impact is my specialization, and I thrive on making a difference in the lives of people through innovative and sustainable solutions.
Marketing holds a special place in my heart, and my hands-on experience in running Organiko has honed my marketing skills. From identifying unique selling propositions to creating impactful campaigns, I have discovered the art of captivating audiences and driving business growth.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"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."

“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."
