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!

More stories on eChai

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
Harsha Bhurani - Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
