Pritesh Lakhani

Co Founder, Pneucons

With over nine years of experience in the engineering trade industry, I have developed a deep expertise in business negotiation, development, and analysis. As the co-founder and CEO of Pneucons, I am leading the transformation of the industrial B2B landscape in India, creating a game-changing platform that enables businesses to connect and trade with transparency, efficiency, and profitability.

Pneucons is a transaction-based open platform that caters specifically to the unique needs of the industrial engineering sector, fostering a thriving ecosystem where every buyer is a seller and vice versa. Our vision is to empower SMEs and MSMEs to overcome trade credit trust deficits, streamline sourcing, and scale their operations like never before. Our key value proposition is to provide sellers with unparalleled access to new business with no udhaari and zero payment follow-ups, and to offer buyers average cash discounts of 10-15% compared to offline buying and other platforms, along with instant indenting and hassle-free experiences. Our differentiator is to integrate channel and retail sales, bridge the gap between MSMEs and SMEs, and equip businesses with the right tools to succeed.

I am passionate about collaborating with like-minded individuals, businesses, and industry professionals who share our vision of revolutionizing the industrial B2B marketplace. I welcome partnership opportunities, speaking engagements, and idea exchanges to unlock the true potential of SMEs and MSMEs in the digital era. Let's connect and make a difference together.

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."

"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."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
