More about Sidharth Vijayan
A global netizen willing to run the extra mile to solve problems that matter to a lot of people. A former product manager, user centric design-thinker, problem solver with 14+ yrs of experience in Web and Mobile Products in the Logistics, Education, Telecom, Social Networking space and currently in the health-tech space.
Having held mid-level managerial roles with multinationals and startups in India, US, Singapore, and the UK I have flourished in product management roles. As a PM, my role extends beyond just building a great product and goes into the realm of understanding the user as well as I can through consistent interactions. This involves me having to actually interact with and interview users (or potential users) to understand the real pain points and dig deeper to find the finer details of the root cause and avoid solving for the wrong problems.
Passionate about solving problems through technology and a design thinking approach..

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“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.”

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
