More about Mayank Pratap
I am Co-Founder of EngineerBabu & Supersourcing; EngineerBabu has been a successful IT agency and Supersourcing is a product built on the learnings from EngineerBabu over its last 7 years.
I’ve always been passionate about wanting to start my own company and building a business. In my college days, I had two failed ventures after which I moved to Bangalore to take up a “regular” job. These failed stints across 3.5 years made me learn a lot about how to build a scalable business. After getting frustrated with the rigid culture at the tech company I wanted a change. I started an IT agency focused on helping startups build their MVP that help them get investment or get them selected on platforms like YCombinator, MIT Delta V & Harvard Innovation Lab.
In the last 7 years, more than 200+ of our portfolio companies have achieved 10 - 1000X growth; 6 got selected in YC, a bunch in MIT and a few others at Harvard Innovation Lab. I have built great connections with founders and investors from different industries through this journey; witnessed many success and failures at different levels of an organisation.
We’ve helped connect many founders to relevant investors through events and assisted them in acquiring large scale companies by validating their tech scalability and security.
I truly love nature and plants. Some of the lessons I’ve learnt building up a community of like-minded enthusiasts is that nurturing the environment and an organisation are very similar- both require support, care and time. This Green Army of ours have planted over 25000+ saplings and have gotten covered on Dainik Bhaskar and Naidunia.
Writing has also been another passion of mine and I have contributed to YourStory, Entrepreneur.com. I wanted to share my experience of hiring, product building and problem-solving and this avenue helped me achieve that while gaining exposure for my businesses.
Some of the organisation’s most notable achievements are:
Won a top 10 startup company award for innovation at the Dubai Expo.
Our client, TapTap has been chosen for the best UI and ranked top 10 in the UK.
Trackflow is a MIT Deltav Startup; We are a proud tech partner; they won a $500K startup award and got recognised as one of the top 10 startups.
Edgistify, another one of our clients was shortlisted in the Top 10 Growing Startups in India.
Brands we’ve worked with: Samsung, YourStory, IBM. Honeywell, HSBC bank, Basecamp, Nike, Virgin, Starbucks, Uber, Apple, McKinsey, ICICI Bank, ePaisa, EarlySalary, Bankopen, Tradohub, YourStory

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
Shrijay Sheth
Founder at LegalWiz.in and Hire4Higher Consulting
"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.

Chief Everything Officer at Tej SolPro
"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."
