More about Priyanka Acharya
Having a childhood enthusiasm of becoming a Psychologist + an academic and work experience of a Finance Professional, I finally decided to combine both together! That's how I became a Financial Educator and now, an Author & a Podcaster!
After completing my MBA in Finance 14 years back, I knew I had a passion for the education & training industry. To ensure I am equipped with the right mindset, skillset & toolset before entering this 'wisdom-driven' domain, I gathered work experience with companies like Financial Technologies India Ltd (now, 63moons Technologies India Ltd), Bombay Stock Exchange Institute, University of Mumbai. I started as a freelancer in 2015 with diverse experiments of consulting assignments with startups, training, management teaching and few other strategic partnerships. Meanwhile, I wrote 17 management research papers, conducted 400+ investor awareness workshops and mentored CxOs & department heads on aligning business strategy to Finance. Finally, there was a eureka moment and I knew where I wanted to build my future! I am presently working on 2 core purposes: one, to make women & families 'Financially SAVVY' and two, to enable Health Insurance 'AGENTS' to become Professionals, with Formal Education for them!
As a Founder Director of Learning Lifeline, I provide financial streamlining focused consulting services to women & families and help health insurance agents pursue MBA - Mediclaim Business Administration! The learning is in offline, online and 'Learning Lifeline' Playstore app based flexi learning modes. I have co-produced India's first podcast released in 8 languages - Ek Chuski Finance / A Sip of Finance. I have recently authored a Hindi book - Laxmi Gyaan se Laxmi Maan.
There's a lot more and I aspire to build a unique & impactful financial education ecosystem! Because 'Earning grows only with L-Earning'! My name is Priyanka and hence, I want to be the Favorite (Priy) - Episode (Anka) in every financial story!

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."

“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!”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
