Manish Rajani - Analytics & Strategy Consultant, Indus Insights

Manish Rajani

Analytics & Strategy Consultant, Indus Insights

I am Manish Rajani, an Associate Consultant at Indus Insights and an alum of Ashoka University. At Indus, I currently work on advisory for a public BFSI firm based in the US (~$4Bn annual revenue), generating valuable insights for client leadership through data-driven strategy as well as by leveraging advanced analytics techniques in Python, Excel, and SQL. I am also an active contributor to several internal initiatives at Indus, ranging from marketing activities to strategic growth initiatives, supporting the development of the firm.

Previously, at Ashoka, I completed several startup and academic internships across different industries (technology, security, social media, etc.). Innovation excites me, and this has helped me develop a deep interest in the startup ecosystem. I enjoy reading about the developments in Indian startups, and I love to interact with early-stage tech founders given my passion for solving zero-to-one problems and building products.

Outside of work, I am a musician; I'm a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, currently training in Indian Classical music. At Ashoka, I was also the President of the Music Society, which helped me hone my passion for music and develop my leadership skills.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
