More about Sushmita Kaneri

Creator of www.transparentgullak.org

I am a Tech Sociopreneur, Blockchain & Technology enthusiast observant to spot societal issues and solve them using scalable technology solutions.

Since my schooling days, I was engaged with different volunteering activities at orphanages and NGOs. That’s when I realized what situations exists beyond my house limits.

I pursued Engineering with an ambition to build solutions to the problems I could spot in the society. After understanding the crux of different technology stacks, I started delivering sessions to help flourish the knowledge I possess about technology and social work I have been doing since 7+ years now. I gained great amount of exposure by getting selected in the world’s top 36 Women in Blockchain for DLT Talents Program organized by Frankfurt School of Blockchain, Germany; IIM Ahmedabad’s Innocity Startup School; IIM Nagpur’s Women Entrepreneurship Development Program and many more. By this I was able to build a community of dynamic, ignited and curious minds. 
 
Post working with 4 different Organizations and various social cause projects, I started my second venture named TechPose at the age of 22. The idea behind this name TechPose was, Technology for Purpose to create social impact.

At TechPose we build products and solutions by leveraging virtues of the technology like Blockchain, AI, IoT, etc. to solve real-world challenges. To know more you can visit our social media handles @techposeindia

I am up 24/7 to discuss about societal challenges or technology. You can connect me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @kanerisushmita

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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."

“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.”

"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."
