More about Gaurav Singhvi
Hi, I am Gaurav Singhvi, I am committed to the idea of making India a vibrant startup nation.ย
Over my 25+ years of experience contributing to consistently delivering incubation, innovation, and mentoring startup, my goal is to foster entrepreneurship through building community.
I have identified that business opportunities lie not only in just tier 1 cities but also in tier 2 and 3, as cultural connection and feeling of building community run even deeper.
Startups based in these cities often operate at the grassroots level and tackle more localized issues making them more viable for mass scale.ย
Many of the companies I am associated with actively support early-stage startups to help them grow fast by offering seed funding, business development, and community building.ย
We Founder Circle has successfully invested in 54+ startups in 18 months.
The services my group of companies provide are not limited to startups but also big corporates.
Our Group "๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ" has served
โ 4,000+ satisfied SME & Corporate clients
โ In 65+ sectors
The group has expertise in the areas of Corporate Structuring, Fund Raising through Debt & Equity Syndication, SME IPO Planning & Listing, and Start-up Mentoring & Fund Raising.
My passion for building community doesn't end here.ย
Being the National Director, Executive Director & President-elect of various notable institutions that mentor and foster entrepreneurship play Catalyst's growth role.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
โI have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, Iโve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - Iโve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. Itโs a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldnโt have been possible without eChai.โ

โYou donโt plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up โฆ and one day, you realize you did.โ Iโve 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, weโve 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 โ our venture builder โ eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isnโt just a startup network. Itโs a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBirdโs journey โ even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, itโs been a constant source of support.ย It connected me with incredible people whoโve 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 โ both personally and professionally โ in ways that are hard to articulate.ย Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. Iโm deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
