Chartered Accountant. Startup Ecosystem Builder. Passionate Connector.

By day, I navigate the intricacies of finance as a Partner at Rasesh Shah & Co., specializing in internal audits, taxes, and company law. Whether it's deciphering complex regulations or crafting strategic financial plans, I thrive on helping businesses grow with confidence.

But my true fire burns for the world of startups. For the past five plus years, I've immersed myself in Surat's thriving startup ecosystem, wearing multiple hats like mentor, advisor, and community manager.

As Chapter Director of Startup Grind Surat, I've helped fuel the community through impactful events and programs.

One of my proudest achievements? Guiding over 100+ startups through the "Startup India Scheme," unlocking recognition, valuable benefits and much more. Witnessing their journeys ignite my entrepreneurial spirit – and fuels my passion to connect talented founders with the resources they need to soar.

Beyond formal titles, you'll find me at co-working spaces like iKoVerk (a venture I'm a key stakeholder in), sharing coffee and insights with fellow hustlers. Building bridges, fostering collaboration, and celebrating shared victories – that's what truly gets me going.

Connect with me on Twitter (@mehulshahca) if you're a startup founder, investor, or anyone who shares my enthusiasm for innovation and growth.

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.”

Syed Nadeem Jafri

Founder, Hearty Mart

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

Shrijay Sheth

Founder at LegalWiz.in and Hire4Higher Consulting

"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."
