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.

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."
Pankaj Bhimani
Founder, 58miles
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
Shrijay Sheth
Founder at LegalWiz.in and Hire4Higher Consulting
"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
