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

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"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."
