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

"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."

"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.

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
