Hi, I’m Manan, a builder, connector, and storyteller at heart.
I help startups, MSMEs, and early-stage ventures find clarity, momentum, and growth from local roots to global reach.
As a marketing and growth strategist, I dig into what drives customer behavior and turn insights into action. Whether it’s designing digital strategies, blending data with creativity, or shaping a growth roadmap from zero, my goal is simple: help brands grow fast, stay agile, and sound authentic.
I also work as an AI consultant, helping founders use tech that truly adds value. From selecting the right tools to automating smartly, I focus on practical, outcome-driven adoption that drives real efficiency.
Networking is where I come alive. I believe the best ideas are born through meaningful conversations. I’ve built and contributed to spaces, online and offline, where founders, mentors, and investors share stories, insights, and those sharp “this could work” moments.
Over time, I’ve helped startups sharpen their positioning, tackle early-stage hurdles, and tap into growth networks that stretch across borders.
Being part of eChai feels natural, a place where builders connect with intent, not titles. I share that spirit: real talk, honest collaboration, and creating rooms where ideas and people grow together.
eChai Ventures partners with select brands as their growth partner - working together to explore new ideas, open doors, and build momentum across the startup ecosystem.
