More about Sriram Natarajan
Building the Future with AI | ex-Google | Engineering Coach
I am the CTO and co-founder of a responsible GenAI startup that is looking for AI and fullstack engineers to join our founding team. With over seven years of experience as an engineering leader at Google and a mentor and coach at CapitalG, I have a deep knowledge of machine learning and AI, and a passion for driving innovation and impact through technology.
At Google, I led the development and launch of Smart Suggestions for messaging apps and media recommendations, and the integration of Google Assistant for cars, delivering revenue-generating business outcomes for customers and enterprise partners.
I also mentored and coached engineers from CapitalG portfolio companies, and helped them grow their skills and careers. As an AI enthusiast and an aspiring entrepreneur, I am committed to empowering humans to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to improve their daily lives. I am also a graduate of Stanford University's LEAD program, and hold a PhD in Computer Systems Engineering from UMass Amherst.

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.”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

"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."
