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.”
Syed Nadeem Jafri
Founder, Hearty Mart
"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.
