Abhimanyu Gargesh

Startup Mentor

I am the Founder of YourStartupMentor. With over 18 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped scale teams, shape strategy, and navigate complex growth journeys across startups and mid-stage companies in India and the UK.

My work has spanned diverse sectors—from IT and mobility to real estate and emerging ventures—always at the intersection of people, process, and purpose.

As a mentor with global accelerators like Startupbootcamp, Mentor Manthan, and Alloy Development Co., I’ve coached over 50 founders—helping them gain clarity, build resilient teams, and lead with confidence through uncertainty.

Today, I work closely with founders and leadership teams to build adaptive, agile mindsets that thrive in complexity. I’m also a certified CompTIA+ Cybersecurity professional and a Lean Six Sigma practitioner.

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."

"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."
