More about Poonam Salian

My experience in the digital marketing industry completely transformed my idea of entrepreneurship. Over the years I realized how maintaining relationships, networking, socializing & looking out for people while you’re working with them is what being an entrepreneur is all about. Soon, I took up the role of leading a bunch of artists & digital experts who curate state-of-the-art online experiences for big & small brands. I’ve always had the conviction towards making brands digitally fabulous, so I co-founded the Digital Ad Bureau Of India. 

Whether it is online or offline, professionally or personally; making lasting & bold impressions is imperative as for me and so, obviously for my team at DAB. I’m currently responsible for Business Development & Integrated Marketing Solutions for the DAB of India across all verticals. 

Juggling a bootstrapped marketing agency & painting brands like World Dhaba, Polytron USA, Vibgyor Group Of Schools in fabulous digital colors has been full of experience & learning. Contemplating that it’s only the start for us is in itself thrilling & inspiring. Its thoroughly delightful to conceive a full-scale marketing agency, to give it life and see it achieve 25+ active clients over the course of a few quick months. That being said, I’m excited & pumped to execute the rest of DAB’s business model - shaping a circle of bright, digitally effervescent individuals & brands who look for digital marketing solutions beyond extra-ordinary!

"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."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
