More about Rupal Ghiya

After spending nearly two decades steering several companies in the BPO / KPO, non-banking finance, and market research sectors towards the path of success, I decided to don the hat of an entrepreneur in 2013.

Food and decor bring out the best in me, and that encouraged me to start Capsicum Restaurant, and Whistling Meadows Club & Resorts. I also manage Pankaj events and celebrations Pvt LTD. I enjoy the intricacy of detailing, planning the processes and executing them to the tee. 

I match ethnic sensibilities with modern business ideology giving businesses an eclectic mix of emotional connect with a practical outlook. Besides managing the diverse portfolio of events and hospitality industry, I enjoy being a doting mother to my four babies - my daughter Aditi, and my pets Sugar, Oreo and Cookie. A voracious reader, I also enjoy reading and writing in my free time.

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
