The Meet Patel

Head of Strategy at Finanshels

help founders build, scale & maintain—fixing broken systems, designing smart strategies, and turning chaos into growth. A damn good generalist who connects the dots, solves problems with ease, and builds teams, processes & products that work.

A mix of strategy & execution, logic & intuition, seriousness & humor. Founders trust me to push when needed, pivot when smart, and double down when it counts.

Also, a student of psychology, entrepreneurship, user-led growth & strategy—and the author of two love stories, because great business (like love) is all about timing & trust. In a line, I am a damn good generalist known as themeetpatel

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

Bhavin S Bhagat

Co-founder of Indiabizforsale and IBGrid, TiE Ahmedabad President

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

Harsha Bhurani

Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. 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."
