As the founder of Currently.social, reaching that high of seeing genuine, unfiltered human connections flourish on the platform is an exhilarating moment—a validation of the vision that inspired this journey. But the high doesn’t end here. It extends to the experience of building an incredible team, composed of passionate individuals who believe in the mission just as much as I do. The shared struggle of everyday of discussing 100s of ideas, the late nights spent brainstorming and problem-solving—these are the moments that make the entrepreneurial journey even exciting everyday for me.
Building Currently isn't just about creating a product; it is about fostering a culture of innovation, resilience, and collaboration. The thrill of entrepreneurship comes from constantly challenging myself to take bigger bets, to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and to navigate the uncertainties that come with growing a startup. The journey has been filled with highs and lows, but each challenge faced and each milestone achieved has been a stepping stone towards something greater.
The ultimate high comes from knowing that Currently.social is more than just a platform; it’s a movement that’s changing the way people connect. And in building it, I’ve not only created a space for others to thrive, but I’ve also grown immensely as an individual, and it makes me ready to embrace the next big challenge life has for me on my way!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
