Swapnil Nelapati

Founder, Neurelios
  • Hyderabad, India

Swapnil Nelapati is a visionary young entrepreneur from Hyderabad, India, known for his deep curiosity, bold thinking, and relentless drive to solve real-world problems using technology. At just 17, Swapnil has demonstrated a maturity and foresight well beyond his years, combining ground-level empathy with a future-focused mindset to build meaningful impact through innovation.

What sets Swapnil apart is not just his age, but his clarity of purpose and hands-on approach to building. He operates at the intersection of technology, social impact, and systems thinking — identifying invisible gaps that affect millions and daring to reimagine how things should work. His strength lies in translating big-picture challenges into structured, scalable, and human-centered solutions.

Swapnil leads with curiosity, not ego. He believes in listening more than talking, solving more than selling, and designing products that aren’t just smart — but emotionally intelligent. Surrounded by mentors, experienced co-builders, and academic advisors, he brings a unique ability to align youthful intuition with operational execution.

He is deeply committed to uplifting underserved communities, especially those in India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions, by leveraging technology as a bridge — not a barrier. His leadership style is grounded in empathy, guided by ethics, and fueled by an unshakable belief that the next revolution in India won’t come from metros, but from the margins.

Recognized and supported by India’s top startup initiatives, Swapnil is already gaining attention in early-stage entrepreneurial circles for his bold yet grounded approach to building. Whether it’s shaping ideas, raising capital, building teams, or communicating vision — he carries himself with professionalism and clarity rare for his age.

Swapnil’s long-term mission is simple but powerful: to build for those who are too often overlooked, and to do it with intelligence, humility, and purpose. His journey is just beginning, but his direction is already clear — towards impact, scale, and lasting change.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
