More about Swati Hegde
Penguin Random House Author | Fiction Writing Coach & Editor
Hi! I'm Swati, a romance and YA author represented by Rachel Beck at Liza Dawson Associates, a New York-based literary agency. My debut novel Match Me If You Can released in June 2024 from Dell, an imprint of Penguin Random House USA, followed by Can't Help Faking in Love (Feb 2025), with As Long As You Loathe Me (YA romance, March 2026) and Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt (May 2026) to come.
As an experienced fiction writing coach, certified mindset coach, and NLP practitioner, I help authors plot, write, and edit their novels while building a rejection-proof mindset, so they can sign with the right literary agent, or self-publish with pride.
I have over 6 years of experience supporting authors and indie publishers in bringing out excellent and entertaining fiction.
I am trained in the following coaching modalities by Yes Supply Inc., a Canadian coaching school.
- Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)
- Life & Success Coaching
- Hypnosis
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
- TIME (Time Integration for Maximum Empowerment) Techniques
I can't wait to help authors thrive in their dream life!

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."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
Viraj Rajani
Co-Founder, Digipple
"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."
