Vani Agarwal

Founder

Vani Agarwal, the founder and CEO of Thinking Spree, a sprint consulting venture, established the company in 2018 following a successful six-year tenure in business, strategy, banking, and funding sectors. She is an alumni of ISB Hyderabad.

After honing her skills for five years in developing business design projects for prestigious institutions such as the Innovation and Design Foundation, NID, and as the former CEO of GE Capital, Vani's venture pioneered a groundbreaking design thinking technique. This innovation disrupted traditional strategy consulting processes, drastically reducing consulting time from 1000 hours to a mere 40. Since its inception nine months ago, her venture has supported over 100 startups.

Currently, Vani leads the Business, Expert, and Research teams at Thinking Spree. The T-Sprints, the brainchild of her company, have emerged as the next-generation consulting process for startups, revolutionizing the industry.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

"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."

"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."
