More about Samhita Rambhatla
Community at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore | McKinsey NGWL'25
Hi! I’m a marketing and community professional with 3 years of experience working with early-stage startups and founders. I currently lead alumni and community efforts at NSRCEL, the startup incubator at IIM Bangalore, where I get to work with a growing network of 3500+ founders.
My work’s all about building meaningful connections, whether that’s through hosting founder mixers across the country, launching platforms for alumni to collaborate, curating learning sessions with global faculty, or running large-scale events like NSRCEL’s annual conclave, SummitUp. I also partner with incubators and ecosystem players to take NSRCEL’s programs to a wider audience.
I enjoy working on things from the ground up, especially when it involves a bit of storytelling, community thinking, and some good-old organised chaos (hello, event days). Big believer in the power of people, and that strong communities make everything better.
Always happy to exchange ideas, talk ecosystems, and explore what it takes to build from scratch - let’s connect!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

Co-Founder, Digipple
"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"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."
