Co-Founder, The star in me

More about Uma Kasoji

I am a management consultant-turned-entrepreneur. After a corporate career spanning 17 years, I decided to pursue my passion for diversity by co-founding ‘The star in me’, with a vision to bridge the gender gap in the workforce and in leadership.

‘The star in me’ is an exclusive career advancement platform for women professionals and a diversity partner for organizations.

From incubating consulting practices to spearheading transformation programs with C-suite leaders across 5 continents, and my recent foray into entrepreneurship, I have diverse experience. Serving on the Board of Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode - my alma mater, has added another valuable dimension to my profile.
 
I am a voracious reader, speaker and I often blog about professional life at https://thestarinme.com.

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!”

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
