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
"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
Shalin (Shawn) Parikh
Founder, MyCPE One
“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.”

"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."
