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

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
