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

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

“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.”
