Hey, I’m Mayuresh Shilotri
In short..
I’m a entrepreneur & tinkerer from Mumbai (Thane), India. I’m 37 years old and I’ve been building businesses for about 8 years.
I understand technology to build products for customers in B2B and B2C space. Built product/ revenue/ team from scratch.

I’ve been in love with tinkering to build human experience using technology for over half my working life. Constantly learning, improving. I consider myself a hacker in that I’m always using technology to solve my life’s problems and ambitions.
I love to mentor. Been guiding aspirants/ learners with career queries. Conducting programs for Professors in Engineering Colleges in Teaching better Online. Guiding young entrepreneurs.
I live in a really cool city called Thane in its downtown core in a super old house with my wife Karuna, my daughter Sia, my Mom and sister. I don’t post pics with my daughter online.
I have a few hobbies. I do a lot of home improvement work – built wooden tables, electric string lights, painting, flooring. Basically, I have built a repository of miniature Home Depot store at home. I like to read books in English, Marathi and Hindi. I like to learn. Yes – Learning is my hobby. I’ve recently experimented into cooking.
I love to build stuff

My Story
I am from a conservative Maharashtrian family. Education was the ladder to opportunity. Created a few opportunities. Converted fewer out of them. Working my way through failure and success. Working for 15+ years – Saw a few things in UX, Product, Marketing, Early Stage Growth, Technology, Edtech, Data Science, Venture Capital and little more.
