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

"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.

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
