Co-Founder, Stratefix

As an expert in the SME industry, I understand the challenges that small and medium-sized enterprises face in India. With over 650 Lakhs SMEs in the country contributing to 37.54% of the GDP, it's clear that these businesses play a crucial role in the economy. However, many SMEs are still operating on traditional approaches and lack the necessary technology, data, and strategy to penetrate the market.

That's where Stratefix comes in. We handhold and partner with SMEs to execute strategies that enable robust & sustainable growth.

The impact we've created through our ecosystem is significant. We've generated 20% employment in organizations where we consult, brought in over 40% revenue growth for SMEs, increased efficiency by 35% in manufacturing industries, and reduced carbon footprints by introducing technology to SMEs.

At Stratefix, we're not just consultants - we're partners. We've introduced a new business model, the Thrasio model, where we partner with SMEs in ever-growing industries. Our goal is to help SMEs reach their full potential and contribute even more to the Indian economy.

Passionately I also run a podcast named "Bharat के SMEs" featuring successful businesses from Tier 2&3 cities of India. On the show, I bring in business leaders to share the proven strategies that have worked for them to address the current challenges SMEs face.

If you're an SME looking to grow, or simply interested in learning more about our services, feel free to connect with me. I'm always happy to chat and see how we can help your business thrive.

Signing up on our website is completely free! If you encounter any issues with profile or notice something unusual, please don't hesitate to report it to us. We're here to help ensure a smooth and secure experience.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"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."

Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

“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.”
