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!”

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"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.
