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
"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."

"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."

“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.”
