Jayesh Tope

Revamp Moto Pvt Ltd
Co-founder

Constantly thriving for new problem statements in the startup ecosystem is my passion. I believe in the power of networking and constantly connecting with people whenever possible.

I have also formed the Nashik innovators club based out of Nashik, for connecting the dots. And since engineering days, I have dreamt of having my own startup, that’s the reason tried multiple startups failed in a couple of them, and currently working on Revamp Moto.

Revamp moto is formed by three young dynamic individuals, Jayesh Tope (the hustler), Pritesh Mahajan ( the enabler), and Pushkaraj Salunke( the hacker). Each founder in Revamp has previous startup experience and holds entrepreneurial attributes.

Revamp moto is introducing a new segment in the Indian electric two-wheeler market called SVA (Smart vehicle as an asset) Revamp Mitra is one of its kind providing a onestop solution to B2C and B2B customers.

My entrepreneurial journey begins in my engineering days when I and my friend always use to read and watch start-up success stories. I decided in the final year of engineering to develop a product that I could pitch as a startup Idea. I was even selected in Maharashtra Startup Yatra 2019 and the IIT Bombay E summit.
