Founder introductions

Who would you like to meet?

Over 15 years in sales, FinTech and partnerships, and many rooms across Gujarat and India, I've met a lot of good people. If one of them can help you, I'm glad to connect you.

How it works

  1. 1
    You tell me who and why

    The clearer the reason, the better the introduction.

  2. 2
    I check with them first

    Every introduction is double opt-in. Nobody gets a cold email from me.

  3. 3
    I introduce you both

    One short email with context, then I step back.

Good to know

  • Introductions are free. I make them when I believe both sides will benefit.
  • I can't promise every request, especially for investors. I'll tell you honestly either way.
  • Looking for incubators, chambers or communities? Browse the ecosystem directory.

FAQ

Questions people ask

  • How can I request a founder introduction?

    Fill in the form on this page. Tell Sumit a little about yourself, describe the person or organisation you would like to meet, and explain why the introduction matters now and what you can offer them. The clearer the reason, the better the introduction. Sumit reads every request himself.

  • How does an introduction work?

    Every introduction is double opt-in. First, you tell Sumit who you would like to meet and why. Then he checks with that person before sharing anything. If they agree, he introduces you both in one short email with context and then steps back, so the conversation is yours to take forward.

  • Do introductions cost anything?

    No, introductions are free. Sumit makes them when he believes both sides will benefit. Good introductions work both ways, which is why the form also asks what you can offer the person you would like to meet. If he can't help with a particular request, he will tell you honestly.

  • Can Sumit introduce me to investors?

    Sumit can't promise every request, especially introductions to investors, but he will tell you honestly whether he can help. If you are looking for incubators, accelerators, chambers of commerce or founder communities rather than a specific person, the India startup ecosystem directory on this site is a good place to start.

  • What will be shared with the person I want to meet?

    With your consent, Sumit may share your name, your company and your request with the person he introduces you to. He checks with them first, so nobody gets a cold email. Submitting a request does not subscribe you to anything.
