More about Subhadeep Mondal
Product Leader & Angel Investor in 10+ startups | Built & Scaled Products to 100M+ Users | IIT KGP | Forbes 30U30
Subhadeep Mondal is an IIT Kharagpur alum and Forbes 30U30 Asia honoree who has spent the last 10+ years building products that changed how India listens to music, signs documents, tracks pregnancies, and builds financial habits. A product thinker with the soul of a founder, he’s consistently owned full product charters - from zero-to-one vision, go-to-market, and team building to driving business outcomes and not just shipping pixels.
At Gaana, he brought millions online to stream Kishore Kumar on 3G - launching mini-apps as a growth engine before “micro-experiences” were a thing. At SignEasy, he simplified enterprise software so well that Apple featured it across 160+ countries.
With PregBuddy, he empowered 2M+ expecting mothers through a community-first platform and turned Apple Watches into maternity companions. During COVID, he co-built StepOne, India’s largest telemedicine network, enabling 60M+ consults across 23 states. At HealthPlix, he embedded AI into doctor workflows, building decision support into EHRs for 10,000+ clinics long before “AI-first” was a trend.
At Jar, he reimagined investing for blue-collar India - launching insurance, and gold commerce products tailored to their realities. His product journey began in college with Flixstreet, a community-based movie discovery platform, years before BookMyShow did.
His impact goes beyond building. As an angel investor, he has backed 15+ startups (can syndicate up to $100k), from digitizing US healthcare and automating maritime surveillance to scaling AI-native SaaS and accelerating India’s EV transition. He’s also a known ecosystem enabler - who brings together people, capital, and conviction to help bold ideas thrive.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
