laksh sharma

co-founder, re-verse.in

I grew up in Kotkapura,a small town in punjab, completing my education through high school with a strong academic record. My career journey began with hands-on experience in the service industry, where I worked as a manager at Papa John's Pizza in Netherlands. There, I learned how to manage operations like deliveries and finances, gaining valuable skills in customer service and efficiency.

After gaining experience in the pizza industry, I decided to pause my college studies to focus on starting my own business. This decision was driven by my passion to create something meaningful and innovative. While living in Europe, I closely observed the clothing market and its extensive export network to over a hundred developed countries such as India and Myanmar. I was particularly fascinated by how they efficiently export used clothes, contributing significantly to the global thrift market. This observation deeply influenced the concept behind my current startup. But i want to take this to next level in my own country.

So i decided to come back india after spending 5 years in Netherlands. Here I worked with my father in Indian textile industry, which gave me insights into manufacturing and managing supply chains. This experience deepened my understanding of business operations and strengthened my determination to succeed as an entrepreneur. On closely analysing how much waste this industry produces the idea for my current startup clicked to me.

Today, I combine my academic background, practical experience, and entrepreneurial spirit to lead my startup towards achieving its goals. My journey reflects my commitment to learning, innovation, risk taking abilities and making a positive impact in the business.

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.”

“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."
