More about Mayank Nagori

Developing the future of food | Committed to a future with zero food waste & hunger | Founder, Food Tech Consultant & Science Enthusiast

Food has been the fuel of our existence, we made food and food is what we're made of. With the commercialization of commodities, we have forgotten its importance to every individual.
Doesn't everyone on this planet need to have an equal right to eat for their sustenance?
What are we doing to reach that goal?

These are the questions that I seek to answer with my expertise in food processing and handling. I'm working on processes to reduce, reuse and recycle the food waste around us. My end goal is to make sure no food enters the dust bin and no one sleeps hungry around me!

My religion says- Eat and let eat!

Regular chewing gums are 100% plastic. Once spat, they are not recyclable and also pose a health risk due to possible ingestion of plastic. 

Gud Gum is India's first 100% plastic-free & natural chewing gum. Made with natural colours, flavours and sweeteners.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

“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.”

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
