Saul Rans

Director, The Strategy Builders

Saul Rans is a Director of The Strategy Builders, a boutique London-based advisory firm serving startups and small businesses. He founded the firm with his business partner earlier in 2023.
Previously, Saul spent 25 years in equity research analysing small, mid and large companies across multiple sectors, most recently at Morgan Stanley. He is also a Chartered Accountant and a graduate of Cambridge University.
The Strategy Builders provides advice across four pillars: business strategy, marketing strategy, financial control systems and productivity tools.
The firm aims to distinguish itself from other advisory firms in three ways: (1) Holistic: we build an all-round understanding of your business and your goals before designing advice (2) Listening: we listen to your needs and aspirations rather than imposing our own opinions (3) Bespoke: we provide advice tailored to your business – we never push copy-and-paste solutions.

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."

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

"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.
