Sarthak Gupta

Investment Banking Analyst, Wells Fargo

I currently work at Wells Fargo as an Investment Banking Analyst in the Financial Sponsors Group, where we assist private equity firms in buy-side/sell-side opportunities and underwritten debt financing.

Previously, I've written 5 research papers related to machine learning and deep learning (linked on my profile), and have a good understanding of the technology and models used. I love to dig into and analyze businesses, especially in emerging spaces.

I completed my MBA from IIM Udaipur in 2022, where I was part of the Entrepreneurship Cell and the Student Council. Prior to this, I have done B.Tech. from NSIT in 2019 and worked as a Software Developer at a B2B SaaS Startup 'Bizongo'.

At Bizongo, I worked closely with the product team on various features. I worked on several high-impact areas including warehouse/inventory management, stock auto-replenishment, dashboard/reporting system and full automation from order placement to shipping! I also played an important role in the move from monolithic to microservice architecture and introduced key technologies needed for the shift such as Kafka message queue and Apache Camel API gateway.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

“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.”

“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."
