Solving problems, helping other businesses grow, and hearing customers say, "This is the best software, thank you for introducing this to me," are what give me the biggest high as an entrepreneur. Let me take you on a quick journey through my world of SaaS innovation.
It all started with PitchGround, my SaaS marketplace. I saw countless brilliant ideas struggling to find their audience, and I thought, "There has to be a better way." So, I built one. Watching start-ups flourish on our platform? That's a rush like no other.
But I didn't stop there. As I interacted with these budding businesses, I noticed a common pain point: outreach. That's how FirstSales was born. I remember the first time a client told me, "Your tool doubled our response rates!" I couldn't sleep that night – not from stress, but from sheer excitement.
Then came the pinnacle of my problem-solving addiction: TinyCheque, my AI Venture Studio. It's like being a kid in a candy store, but instead of sweets, I'm surrounded by cutting-edge AI solutions waiting to be shaped into the next big thing in SaaS.
Every day brings new challenges. Sometimes, I'm up until 3 AM, wrestling with a particularly tricky bit of code or brainstorming a new feature. But when a customer reaches out to share how our software transformed their business? That makes every sleepless night worth it.
What really keeps me going is the partnerships we build. Whether it's a start-up finding their footing on PitchGround, a sales team crushing their targets with FirstSales, or an AI enthusiast bringing their vision to life through TinyCheque – these connections fuel my passion.
Each success story pushes me to innovate further, to solve the next big problem. It's a never-ending cycle of creation and impact. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. This journey of turning ideas into solutions that change lives – that's my entrepreneur's high, and it's one incredible ride!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

Managing Partner - STIR Advisors
"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."
