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.

Let's spark something amazing together!

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.”

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
