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

"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.

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
