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
“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"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."
