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

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

“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!”
