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

"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."
