Riteshkumar Shrivastava

Riteshkumar Shrivastava is known for his “Never Say Die” attitude and marathon-runner mindset when it comes to building long-term ventures. From creating platforms like Buy Smart to Health Smart, his entrepreneurial journey has consistently focused on solving real-world problems at scale.

With this vision, he led the development of FirstDoctor, an ecosystem platform aggregating the Indian healthcare fraternity and its ancillary space, and is now building The Founders Lab Asia around the start-up ecosystem to help founders build and grow their businesses globally.

On 22 January 2020, he played a pivotal role in investing in and anchoring the landmark Ashoka Business School pitching event in Nashik, inspired by the Dragon’s Den format. Six of fifty-two start-ups received on-the-spot funding from investors including 100X, Venture Wolf, Bank of Maharashtra and the Ashoka Group (Nashik). That event became the foundation stone for The Founders Lab Asia.
