More about Siddharth Deshmukh

A technologist, business leader, and philanthropist. I believe in solving simple but significant problems of Small Businesses (I don't care if those problems are big problems for VCs).

Technology geek who love to speak a simple language that Small Business Owners can understand. Making things simple is my passion, and I love to lead a simple life. Living happily with my lovely wife, she is my biggest critic but also a woman behind all my success.

Story teller and also love to hear incredible stories of entrepreneurs. I am not an advisor but happy to share my experience and thoughts. I love to talk about product development, product management, and marketing. Just connect with me and invite me for a cup of tea (I don't like coffee) or beer will also do!

Before Shimbi Labs, I founded the web hosting company ASK4Host.com in 2000. 

I love public speaking and will be happy to accept your invitation to speak at events. I think my years of experience as an entrepreneur may inspire the younger generation.

I feel fortunate to get to connect with so many extraordinary people every day and learn so many new things from them. MyNotes is my personal blog, where I will be sharing what I’m learning. I will also be writing about technology, leadership, startup, product development and occasionally on life as I see.

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.”
