What keeps me passionate about entrepreneurship is the thrill of solving new challenges every day. I remember when we first started Tej SolPro, we had a client who needed a complete digital overhaul, but their budget was tight. We had to think outside the box, and that's when the Sanskrit shloka 'उद्धरेदात्मनाऽऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्' (Uddhared Atmanātmānaṃ Nātmānamavasādayet) really resonated with us — 'Lift yourself by yourself; don’t let yourself down.' We pulled through, not just delivering results, but also building a lasting relationship.
The ever-changing digital landscape keeps me excited, like the time we had to quickly pivot our strategy to adapt to a major algorithm change. It was stressful, but also exhilarating, and we came out stronger. Moments like these, where we learn, adapt, and grow, are what fuel my entrepreneurial spirit.

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.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
