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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“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!”

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
