More about Shripal Gandhi

Business Coach | Founder & CEO | Built a Rs 1000 Crore brand in 5 years | Building Businesses from last 18 years | India's Top 50 Inspiring Entrepreneurs by ET | Public Speaker | Startup Advisor

Hi, I'm Shripal Gandhi, a serial entrepreneur who has built 3 companies at Rs 100+ Crore level. But I was not the same when I was born in a small town.

I studied in a vernacular, neither went to a convent school nor spoke English till my 12th grade.

I wanted to go to USA for career growth but my visa got rejected 3 times. I lost hope.

Anyways, I made it to USA and landed my first job as a scientist.

Despite having a high-paying job, entrepreneurship bug bit me.

To date, I have launched my 10 businesses, failed in 4 and succeed in 6.

I built Swipe Technologies Pvt Ltd a multi-million dollar company from scratch. I played a crucial role in birth and expansion. In first year, we generated Rs 100 Crore revenue.

I successfully took Swipe from a small startup to the apex market leader in India. We grew team size from 4 to 350 people in 5 years. We became India’s No 1 brand in selling 20 million tablets and mobiles on internet. 

I even took it to a highest sellout of Rs 7 Crores in a single day. We achieved Rs 1000 Crore revenue. We worked with Apple, Samsung, Motorola and others.

Now, I am leading my dream project. It is a digital diagnostics company based on a new age, self-test and mobile-first solution for preventative health. We are revolutionising healthcare on a global scale.

I have selected to meet Ratan Tata and Masayoshi Son in person.

I have been invited to prestigious institutions like IITs, Symbiosis, TiE, and corporates across industries as a speaker.
