Anshul and I first met in 2012 on the first day of our engineering journey at UPES. Over the past 12 years, we have shared an extraordinary journey, working together on everything from class assignments and projects to significant entrepreneurial ventures. Every step of the way, we've found immense joy in our collaboration.

Our last day of college marked a temporary parting as we pursued jobs in Bengaluru, but deep down, we both knew that our paths would soon converge again. In 2017, we reunited to co-found our first blockchain company. Together, we immersed ourselves in the intricate world of entrepreneurship, learning invaluable lessons along the way. Even after closing that chapter, there was never a doubt that we would continue our journey together.

Launching our second venture, Cognecto, was a natural progression for us. Through all the successes and setbacks, Anshul and I have always stood by each other, turning challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. The bond we share has made this adventure incredibly rewarding. Our journey is far from over, and I am deeply grateful for the friendship and partnership that has made it all possible. Together, we look forward to many more years of innovation and collaboration.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"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."

“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."
