More about Mayuresh Raut

Co-Founder & Managing Partner @ seafund | SEBI registered fund

I have over 25 years of leadership experience with global clients in Data Science & Analytics & Consulting in Financial Services, Manufacturing & Healthcare, working for MNCs like GE, IBM & Novozymes & family owned businesses & start-ups spread across US, Europe & India..

Started my career managing the family construction business. This was a trial by fire in learning how to manage stakeholders with conflicting views, lead a business to manage the short & long term business objectives, churn a business portfolio to manage cash flows without losing sight of the financial returns for the company & manage local & federal regulatory authorities.

Have been part of startups, incubating & managing operations within multi-billion dollar companies, turning around businesses & providing successful exists to stakeholders. I have led transformational change management initiatives that have pivoted the way companies are run & have had a huge impact on the personnel & business strategies. 

My experience in the offshoring space spans from practices like Analytics to Business Advisory Services to Finance & Accounting and Procurement, both on the third party & captive side across Financial Services, Manufacturing & Life Sciences.

Completed a senior leadership program from INSEAD as part of key talent retention & also as a pause for perspective initiative to explore how best to utilize the remaining portion of my professional life.

I have been investing in startups for more than a decade, along with an active interest in mapping the startup ecosystem, mentoring leaders & companies. The VC fund fits in seamlessly as a culmination of all these activities.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

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."
