More about Dinesh Agarwal
I help you adopt AI in your business
I am a research scientist turned entrepreneur.
I have worked on close to 30 startups and launched them successfully. I have grown B2B startups to over 100,000 users and had one successful exit.
Although I loved every second of my life as a researcher, I always wanted to become an entrepreneur. I have over a decade long experience managing software development teams. I founded my first company when I was a Sophomore at school.
My area of expertise as a researcher was cloud computing with over 4 years of experience working with complex data sets, algorithms, and applications.
One of the applications that I primarily worked on had the potential to employ thousands of computers in the cloud.
We tested this with 100 computers and reduced the traditional processing time of 6 hours to less than 10 minutes.
The application helps find the closest safe rescue shelters in the event of a natural disaster such as a hurricane or Tsunami.
My Ph.D. dissertation on frameworks to convert your legacy software to cloud-ready without a learning curve has been featured by HPC in the cloud, a leading journal on cloud computing. My papers have been published in reputed IEEE and ACM conferences.
I hold multiple patents in my field of research.
I am now a full-time founder. I spend my time working on solving challenges to grow our startup so that we can help our users become at least 10x more productive.
I regularly share my expertise with world’s leading publications. If you want to work with me on a publication message me.

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."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"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."
