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
"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."
Shalin (Shawn) Parikh
Founder, MyCPE One
“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.”

Managing Partner - STIR Advisors
“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."
