Stuti Bhageria
I've been a founder myself, so I know how lonely the early days feel. I cofounded Rekinza (India's first pre-owned fashion marketplace) and later launched Ecosis, a textile recycling brand that went from a 10 kg lab prototype to 1,000 kg/day pilot production. I've also built B2B fintech products from scratch and helped startups scale through Startup India, the government's flagship initiative. Today I work with founders who are figuring out the messy middle: the part after the idea but before things are running smoothly. I help you set up the basics so the business can grow without falling over. How can I support you: * Validating your idea and shaping a simple, testable MVP. * Setting up early operations: vendors, hiring, SOPs, and tools that actually save time. * Pricing, unit economics, and getting your numbers in shape before you talk to investors. * Using AI in your daily workflows to do more with a small team. * Going to market: first 10 customers, pricing experiments, and early sales playbooks. A few things I've done: * Took Ecosis from idea to pilot production and signed MoUs with Decathlon and 2 other companies before launch. * Built and launched a B2B fintech product that closed 15 enterprise clients in its first 2 weeks. * Helped launch the India-Portugal Startup Hub, unveiled during a state visit. * Ran a $375M procurement function and a P&L for a 500 person unit, so I know what good systems look like at scale. I'm at my best when founders are building their first version, hiring their first team, or trying to figure out which problem to solve next. No jargon, no fluff. Just clear thinking and honest feedback.
