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 isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"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."

Co-Founder, DevX
"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.
