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

"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.

“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.”

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."
