More about Aleksander Gansen
I’ve been an entrepreneur since high-school. Building products and services are what drive me. I do not really separate my work from what they call „a private life“. Solving customers' problems is my passion and hobby at the same time. I don't call it a job but a calling.
The entrepreneurial growth mindset is contagious. My wife, my sons and my daughters-in-law have become business owners. It's because of the air we breathe in this family.
I do appreciate moments of silence and meditation. I am hungry for the knowledge I’m getting from books, podcasts, webinars and functions. I love meeting people and learning about their cultures. I love great movies and plays. I enjoy travelling and sharing experiences with my family and friends.
To be a better student, I constantly teach what I have learned. My passion is to share my humble experience with upstarts. When possible, I coach or mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs. I am lucky to have the best mentors and amazing business partners I am learning from.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"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."

"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."
