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
"eChai has been a game-changer for Hungrito, providing us with invaluable connections, insights, and opportunities that have significantly fueled our growth. eChai has introduced us to a global network of entrepreneurs and experts, fueling our growth and opening doors to new opportunities from Ahmedabad to Dubai. The community has become like a second family to us, providing support, guidance, and valuable insights as startup entrepreneurs."
Sahil Shah
Founder- Hungrito & Netsavvies. Digital Marketing Evangelist
"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."
Harsha Bhurani
Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group
“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.”
