As the founder of The Digital Leap, the biggest high as an entrepreneur is witnessing the direct impact of our work for Govt. Primary schools in rural Gujarat. Knowing that our efforts in digitizing school records and transforming administrative processes have reduced the time it takes to issue critical certificates from nearly an hour to just a few minutes is incredibly rewarding.
Seeing the satisfaction and gratitude from school principals, the empowerment of our small team from rural backgrounds, and the tangible progress towards a digitally empowered India—these moments of real, meaningful change fuel my passion and drive to keep pushing forward. The knowledge that we started from scratch, with just an idea and a commitment to improve our community, and have now scaled to make a significant impact, is the ultimate high for me as an entrepreneur.

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."

"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."
