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!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"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."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
