Jatin Aghara

Director - Sutherland | IIM Lucknow

I love to dig into customer problems and solve them with modern technology. I create, scale and optimize business portfolios that matter. To accomplish this, I focus on delivering key outcomes, building amazing teams and quickly adapting to new learnings.

I have enjoyed many executive positions throughout my career in Strategy, Business Development, Consultative Sales, Product Development, Product Marketing, and Project Management. My personal, and professional experiences, and MBA have taught me the following about myself:

I can successfully scale up businesses from $50M to $1B in revenue.
• I put the customer at the center of all that I do.
• I excel at the execution of big ideas with given constraints
• My gut instinct is good but I seek data for my decisions

I can align, lead and grow world-class Product/Project teams from 10 to 100 people.
• I love to win, but helping the team win gives me greater joy
• I speak tech and execute
• I tell great narratives that motivate
• The buck always stops with me

I educate, refine and drive myself to be a better person
• I am constantly learning because I never settle
• I stay calm when faced with adversity
• I focus on making high-quality decisions

I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. I love photography, stand-up comedy, and theatre. I have tried my hands at a few open mics, played small roles on stage in regional dramas, and sold my clicks at a couple of photo exhibitions across the country. Reach out if you want to talk to me about emerging tech, Industry trends, F1, or cricket.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
