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 evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."
Mehul Shah
Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
Harsha Bhurani
Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group
“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.”
