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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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
"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."
Pankaj Bhimani
Founder, 58miles
“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."
