History

Testimonials

what Customers Say
Sanju Arachchi

As founders, we're often so attached to our venture that we might miss the bigger picture and focus on the wrong things. It's crucial to have a partner who can be brutally honest, ask tough questions, and point out what & where we're going wrong even though it hurts our ego and beliefs. 

Jatin has the unique ability to connect dots, see things through and identify where & what’s going wrong and has the courage to say it out loud. I myself have personally experienced and have observed a lot where Jatin supports ventures in his own unique ways including his knowledge, experience and the strong network that he has built along his journey. He really cares about the founder in his unique way. 

Jatin is undeniably the ideal partner every venture should have!

Kedar Dave

Jatin is the most colorful person I have come across. He is full of joy, laughter, and understanding He is a knowledge bank, guide, mentor, and a friend you can count on. His ability to understand everything is outstanding, be it business, gaps, innovation, life, or relations. He is a successful entrepreneur who can help many people and businesses with corporate innovation. His best part is he never judges and gives an objective response to every problem you may come across. He never denies sharing his knowledge and understanding with the right people and the right situation.  He is a visionary and has the vision to make the most out of every single second of his life.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jatin on multiple occasions, he has been an exemplary example of passion, resolve, and ingeniousness each time. We worked closely to pull off Techstars Global Startup Weekend, an event with 1000+ registrations, 250+ ideas and various State and National Government Partners. Jatin was instrumental in guiding the India team to take the right steps before and during the event, and he was crucial in resolving major bottlenecks during the event as a Techstars Facilitator. Team members had great faith in his immense experience and his sometimes unconventional solutions reaped great rewards for the organization. I look forward to working with the energetic and incredible Jatin very soon.

Nisha Kotecha

As a solid leader, I have always admired Jatin for making new and different strategies to grow his business.
He thinks outside the box, not afraid of failures and is always ready to explore new possibilities. A highly solution-oriented approach for any work that he takes up. This ability has been an inspiration to several people and has forced me to reconsider my own approach. Community building is his prime focus.

He is a great leader in the startup world, with a knack for helping startups grow tremendously .
He is the most reliable, honest and humble person to work with. His clear vision for his work with clear mind and heart to keep people as a priority, makes him a great person to work with.
