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

"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."

“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."
