Founder & CEO, Growth Iris
..
“Galaxy of thanks” Appreciation award in the first month of joining Citibank for opening the highest number of HNI accounts.
Sales are something that I enjoy because it creates high value for my customers.
I started my career at 17 with Citi-bank, and as a teenager for six months as the youngest banking executive, I opened the highest number of HNI accounts in the first month of joining Citi-bank.
After 6-months, I moved to HSBC, becoming one of the youngest premier wealth managers.
As a young teenager, I continued exploring my curiosity and joined the ministry of finance as an intern, later joining Accenture Management Consulting Firm, managing clients like Fortis.
I started taking international independent projects starting with East-West Equity LLC, which focused on Oil & Petroleum projects.
Post that, I was quite fascinated by the world of the Internet and started my independent PR agency and content media publication.
Served hundreds of clients.
Four years ago, I joined PitchGround as the Head of PR while continuing to pursue my content media publication, which now has a name - Growth Iris, launching very soon.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve 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, we’ve 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 — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

“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.”
