More about SaiKalyan Chakravarthy Anupindi

I received my Master's in Strategic Business from the University of Portsmouth, UK. Currently pursuing MBA from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai towards the journey of continuous learning and self-development. These valuable educational experiences helped set me up to build my career in an in-demand and competitive industry. One area where I particularly flourished was in Marketing Management & Research methods, making me well-suited for leadership roles where I oversee marketing teams across Pan-India.

✪ Early Career ✪ 

During the early days of my career, I started to work for a Singapore-based FMCG company selling their inventory in south India. Developed interest in research methodology and moment strategy to make a huge sale. This period was a trigger point for me to pursue higher studies in the UK. 

✪ Mid-Career ✪

In 2008, as a marketing consultant for a fortune 100 Japanese company in the UK gave me a whole new working experience and the way we treat our colleagues or subordinates. Working for a Japanese company has given me an opportunity to learn more about being a leader than a boss. It helped me learn skills that are not part of your regular soft skill development program. 

✪ Entrepreneurial Journey ✪ 

The handful of experience handling teams, on leadership roles at a very young age, given me a new approach towards the never-ending journey – the Entrepreneurship Journey. 

The decision to become an entrepreneur in 2013 changed my life as a professional. Thanks to my wife Sowjanya Tata for her encouragement and faith.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."

“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."
