Bold vision for Wizzy.ai in 2025
By the end of 2025, my boldest vision for Wizzy.ai is to become the de facto AI-powered search and discovery platform for eCommerce globally, revolutionizing how customers interact with online brands. We aim to power 1,000+ eCommerce businesses, including a significant presence among Fortune 500 retailers, helping them deliver hyper-personalized search, merchandising, and recommendation experiences.
To achieve this, we’re focusing on three key pillars:
Product Innovation: Building cutting-edge capabilities like visual and voice search, AI-driven conversational shopping assistants, and advanced personalization through real-time data analytics.
Strategic Partnerships: Strengthening our content licensing and integrations with Gen AI LLMs, opening pathways to collaborate with tech giants and bolster our technology stack.
Global Expansion: Entering new markets, particularly North America and Europe, supported by strategic hiring, localized solutions, and strong regional partnerships.
Seizing the Opportunity
I’m most excited about the increasing integration of generative AI and large language models in the eCommerce ecosystem. Customers now expect seamless, intuitive, and highly personalized interactions, and AI is at the forefront of making this possible.
We plan to leverage this trend by:
Enhancing Conversational AI: Incorporating LLMs to create more human-like and contextually aware search interactions.
Embracing Omnichannel Integration: Supporting seamless customer experiences across web, mobile, voice assistants, and emerging AR/VR platforms.
Focusing on Data-Driven Insights: Using AI to provide actionable, real-time insights for merchants to improve conversions and customer loyalty.
Additionally, I see a shift towards privacy-focused AI, and we’re committed to embedding robust data security and ethical AI principles into our solutions.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
