AMMAR SURATWALA

Co-Founder @ GRUNDER

I started GRUNDER to address a crucial gap in today’s digital world. While many social media platforms are saturated with content and users, they often fail to facilitate meaningful communication and connections. This is especially problematic in the startup ecosystem, where effective networking is essential for success.

Our mission at GRUNDER is to create an exclusive network tailored specifically for entrepreneurs and the startup community. Unlike general social media platforms that are overwhelmed with content and diverse users, GRUNDER focuses solely on fostering high-quality interactions among individuals who are actively involved in the startup ecosystem.As I am part of many offline founders clubs like Bombay founders club , E-Chai etc I know from my experience that you get so many contacts you learn so much its amazing.In these events I always ask myself why is there nothing like this online ? I wanna communicate and wanna exchange my ideas with a lot more entrepreneurs.

To validate our approach, we’ve initiated a pilot program using WhatsApp, where we onboard a select group of investors, startup founders, and emerging entrepreneurs through personal invitations and a selective screening process via our website. This pilot is helping us gather valuable insights and refine our platform to better meet the needs of its users when its launched.

Our mentor, Karan Pagare, has successfully launched a platform for stock market traders Boomm.in, highlighting the importance of building a community where meaningful connections are prioritized. His experience reinforces our belief that GRUNDER can provide significant value by focusing on the quality of interactions within the startup ecosystem.

GRUNDER aims to be more than just another app; it is a dedicated space where communication and networking are central, designed exclusively for entrepreneurs and those within the startup world.

Signing up on our website is completely free! If you encounter any issues with profile or notice something unusual, please don't hesitate to report it to us. We're here to help ensure a smooth and secure experience.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
