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
"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 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."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
