Manthan Bhavsar – Growth-Focused Tech Leader

How a childhood inspiration became a mission to transform Gujarat’s IT landscape

The Spark of Ambition

In 1994, when most Indian children dreamed of becoming doctors or engineers, a young Amit Trivedi was captivated by a different vision. Watching Bill Gates rise to prominence, he made an unusual declarationin his service-class Brahmin household: he would build a software business. This wasn’t just teenagebravado—it was the seed of a journey that would eventually reshape IT communities across multiplecities.

“Today is all there is,” became Amit’s guiding principle as he navigated the uncertain path from employee to entrepreneur. After gaining valuable experience at CGI Bengaluru, he made the bold decision to leave his successful career behind, serving a full six-month notice period out of respect for his employer.

Homecoming with Purpose

Amit’s return to Gujarat wasn’t just a career move—it was a philosophical choice. Influenced by Pandurang Dada’s wisdom about “exporting products and services, not people,” he established roots in Ahmedabad with Prident Consultancy in November 2019. His mission was clear: foster local development and create employment opportunities in Gujarat.

The transition wasn’t without challenges. Ahmedabad’s business culture initially felt foreign, with whatAmit describes as an atmosphere of “distrust” where genuine intentions had to be proven before meaningful connections could be built.

Prident Consultancy: Adapting to Survive

What began as a software development venture evolved into something more strategic. The pandemicforced a critical reassessment of Prident’s direction. Discontinuing resource-intensive product development—including a promising HR solution—Amit made a calculated pivot.

The New Focus (April 2024 onwards):
Prident now specializes exclusively in staffing, recruitment, and HR services, targeting stable sectors like banking and education that are less susceptible to rapidtechnological disruption.

This strategic shift allows the company to build sustainable relationships rather than chase fleeting tech trends.

The Community That Changed Everything

The Problem

Amit’s early struggles in Ahmedabad revealed a significant gap: while Bengaluru thrived on community knowledge-sharing, Gujarat’s IT ecosystem felt isolated. Orders went unfulfilled due to trust deficits and a lack of reliable developer networks.

Most importantly, IT sales professionals—the lifeblood of techcompanies—had no dedicated platform for learning and collaboration.

The Solution: IT Sales Community

What started as a business necessity evolved into a movement. The IT Sales Community now spans nine active chapters from Junagadh to London, deliberately focusing on Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities wherere sources are traditionally scarce.

The Philosophy: ‘Karmabhakti’

Amit dedicates 1-3 days monthly to community service, embodying the principle of ‘Karmabhakti’—offering one’s skills to society without expectation of personal gain. This isn’t just corporate social responsibility; it’s spiritual practice through professional service.

The Results:
27,000 LinkedIn followers, widespread industry recognition, and most importantly, a transformed brand reputation that demonstrates the power of authentic community building.

Leadership Insights for the Modern Era

On Talent and Growth

“Talent is absolutely true for company growth. Even billionaires like Bill Gates invest heavily inrecruitment.”

Amit advocates for proactive HR practices, recognizing that human management constitutes 80% of anentrepreneur’s role.

His approach acknowledges that while AI excels at reporting and analysis, Emotional Intelligence remains “the most powerful thing for successful people.”

Understanding Gen-Z

Rather than dismissing generational differences, Amit emphasizes the need for conscious adaptation: “Companies must understand Gen Z’s different mindset and talent—they are the future workforce.”

The Billionaire Mindset Movement

Amit’s latest initiative reflects his belief that “Silicon Valley is a mindset, not an area.” The Billionaire Mindset events, launching with 150 tech CEOs at Ahmedabad’s Taj Hotel, aim to foster big thinking and collaborative support networks.

This curated series will expand beyond technology into real estate, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare within a year—creating cross-industry innovation ecosystems.

Personal Philosophy and Daily Practice

Morning Rituals

Amit begins each day with meditation during Brahma Muhurta (pre-dawn hours), believing this practice unlocks human potential and maintains mental clarity. For beginners, his advice is simple: start by observing your breath.

Guiding Principles

His philosophy is encapsulated in the powerful statement:
“Man can see invisible, can do impossible.”

For fellow founders navigating 2025’s challenges, his team-building mantra is direct:
“Conviction, Commitment, and Dedication.”

Conclusion: The Larger Impact

Amit Trivedi’s journey transcends typical entrepreneurial success stories. By integrating ancient philosophical principles with modern business strategies, he’s created a model for sustainable communitybuilding that benefits both commercial interests and social development.

His work demonstrates that authentic leadership isn’t about choosing between profit and purpose—it’sabout finding innovative ways to achieve both. Through Prident Consultancy and the IT Sales Community, Amit continues to prove that sometimes the most powerful business strategy is simply serving otherswith genuine intention.

In a world obsessed with unicorn valuations and viral growth, Amit Trivedi reminds us that lasting impactcomes from patient community building, one relationship at a time.
