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
"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"eChai has been a game-changer for Hungrito, providing us with invaluable connections, insights, and opportunities that have significantly fueled our growth. eChai has introduced us to a global network of entrepreneurs and experts, fueling our growth and opening doors to new opportunities from Ahmedabad to Dubai. The community has become like a second family to us, providing support, guidance, and valuable insights as startup entrepreneurs."

“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."
