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
“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."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

Founder, Redicine Medsol
"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.
