More about Vinod Ramaswamy
Art, it is subjective, provocative, and deeply personal.
It is the ability to translate a story, to connect and transport the viewer into the mind of an artist to gain an alternative perspective that fascinates me and has led me to the art world, where I truly belong.
I am thankful to all artists, curators, collectors, and galleries who have always encouraged me to develop my own approach. I learn most from interacting with artists in their creative space, each is unique and offers insight into how they think, their passions, and their influence. I believe that artists feel more comfortable speaking and sharing their ideas when they are in their studio talking about their process.
I’ve been fortunate to travel, to experience museums, galleries, and exhibitions to learn the emerging trends and styles. This allows deeper appreciation and encourages the art community both local and international to connect with me. I speak 6 local languages fluently which has provided an opportunity to artists from the remotest places to exhibit their works.
The Art Bengaluru festival is special, as a member of the curatorial team, I am delighted that it has become a reputed art festival in Bengaluru, India. I have collaborated with various institutions like New Acropolis, Lasvit, Alliance Française de Bangalore, the Italian Embassy, the Embassy of Israel, and many others. In addition to this, I have worked with NGOs like Parikrama Foundation and Akshaya Patra Foundation to encourage creativity in children. I was actively involved in various commissioning projects which also include Sheraton Grand, Whitefield.
At present, I am building more connections in the art world to explore possibilities to work with a reputed gallery or museum in India and outside.
I seek new to grow my network, I recently joined Clubhouse which allows me real-time access to support the Artists who are creating NFT artwork, collectors, traders, and industry specialists. This technology has the potential to bring a revolutionary change in the Indian Art scene and its opening doors to a new generation of creators and collectors across the planet.

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."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"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."
