Seizing the Opportunity
I am excited by the trend of fashion as a form of self-expression that celebrates individuality. People are moving away from fleeting trends and embracing their unique styles, and this cultural shift is something I’m incredibly passionate about. As a personal stylist and founder, I plan to to help my clients embrace their authentic selves through the clothing they wear.
Also, the fashion industry is making strides towards true inclusivity—not just in terms of size and shape but also in age, culture, and personal identity. This is a transformative moment, and it excites us because it allows us to work with a broader, more diverse audience.
We are eager to continue leading by example, ensuring that our brand, Inara, remains inclusive and empowering, while offering fashion that celebrates all women and their unique beauty.
Evolving as a Founder
As a founder and leader, what excites me most is the chance to inspire others—whether it’s through my journey as an entrepreneur, my book, or through the team I am building. I’m looking forward to sharing my story with larger audiences, sharing my experiences to show women that it's possible to turn their passion into a thriving business.
Most importantly, I am excited to connect with 50 more entrepreneurs in 2025, gaining insights from their journey and embracing opportunities to learn and unlearn valuable business lessons.
For me leadership is about service—ie. helping others unlock their full potential, guiding them through challenges, and celebrating their success. Thus, I want to make sure every voice is heard and valued in the coming years.
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."
