Hi, I'm Surabhi

Serial Entrepreneur, CEO Coach, & Advisor

I have built 2 multi-million dollar ARR companies.

Always remained self-funded and never lost my freedom to investors.

Successfully exited from both companies.

These experiences have taught me a lot about the value drivers of the business.

I have also come to realize that building a high-value business from the beginning isn’t just smart – it’s the key to creating a robust, resilient business that stands the test of time.

Now, I’m on a mission to share these hard-won insights with you. Whether you’re bootstrapping, scaling rapidly, or eyeing that dream exit, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

My Entrepreneurial Journey?

From Lines of Code to Bottom Lines

2001

Landed in the US as a software engineer, wide-eyed and ready to conquer the startup world. Dreams were big, experience was small.

2005

Took the leap! Co-founded Tejora Technologies, soon serving Fortune 100 clients. Talk about a steep learning curve and sleepless nights!

2007

Caught the entrepreneurial bug again. Launched Elixir Fitness, diving headfirst into the retail sector. Double the challenges and double the growth.

2012

First major win - successfully exited Elixir Fitness. Lesson learned: building and selling a business is an art and a science.

2017

Life threw a curveball. Took sole leadership of Tejora amidst personal tragedy. Toughest year of my life, but also the most transformative.

2022

The big one - exited Tejora Technologies through a full buyout. Years of perseverance paid off, unlocking value and opening a new chapter.

Each milestone was a masterclass in business, leadership, and personal growth.
