Maria Gandhi - Co-Founder

Maria Gandhi

Co-Founder

With over seven years of experience in the power tools and spare parts industry, I bring a deep understanding of customer needs and industry challenges. I began my career working with leading brands such as Bosch, Stanley, Black & Decker, and Hikoki, while simultaneously managing accounts and legal compliance for Unique Engineers. This dual exposure gave me insight into both the consumer market and large-scale industrial operations.

In 2018, I co-founded an e-commerce platform focused on providing spare parts directly to customers, addressing a critical gap in the industry. The business experienced significant growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, fulfilling urgent customer needs and reinforcing the importance of timely, reliable service.

As Director of Ultimamac, my focus is on delivering a seamless buying experience for customers, with a commitment to safety, convenience, and affordability. Ultimamac offers a comprehensive range of power tools, spare parts, and accessories, catering to both individual consumers and large enterprises.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
