More about Rutuja Gugle
Founder at The InkBot Studios| Branding x Marketing | Startup Marketing Strategist | AI Evangelist | Driven to create strong digital foundations for start-ups globally.
..
I am a marketing and business development professional with a degree in Creative Writing from Lancaster University, UK & Digital Marketing education from UC Berkeley, USA. I founded a full stack marketing company called The InkBot Studios with a vision to create compelling content and marketing strategies that helps businesses both big and small grow exponentially.
There are two things I’m passionate about- First: Building a bridge between content creators and entrepreneurs to deliver quality marketing solutions. And second, Artificial Intelligence and how it is changing the world, as we speak. My goal is to bring these two seemingly different elements together to create something that just might blow your mind to smithereens.
Outside of work, I'm building towards the initiative of 'Bind Project'- a meetup series for Founders, C-suite and working professionals.
I also consider myself as an Indian street food and coffee aficionado. Again, these might not be the most favored combinations, but I stand by my choice.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“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.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"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."
