In India's growing world of new businesses, a company called Expertbells is making a big difference. Born from the shared vision of Priyanka Chalani and Rahul Israni, this platform is redefining how businesses are nurtured and empowered to thrive.
Priyanka Chalani's journey as an entrepreneur was not without its trials. "Look, I am coming from a Sindhi background community, so among us, it is ingrained that even if you set up a small golgappa cart, you're not doing a 'job,'" she reminisces. This cultural inclination towards entrepreneurship, coupled with her personal experiences in the startup world, fueled her desire to create a platform that would address the pain points faced by budding entrepreneurs.
Having worked with numerous startups, Priyanka observed recurring challenges related to scaling, fundraising, and navigating complex regulations. She realized that mentorship could unlock the full potential of these businesses. "The journey is like a roller coaster," she emphasizes. "You start, then it's time to scale, then it's time to grow. At every turn, there are hurdles, from raising funds to connecting with investors."

Together with her co-founder and husband, Rahul Israni, a chartered accountant with a wealth of financial acumen, Priyanka launched Expert Bells. This platform is not merely a mentorship hub; it's a comprehensive solution provider for startups. "We started with legal and compliance services for startups," Priyanka explains. "But after helping over 1000 startups, we realized they were getting stuck in multiple problems."
To tackle these multifaceted challenges, Expert Bells offers an array of services, including legal compliance, business registration, tax optimization, and fundraising assistance. Their mentorship program is a cornerstone, connecting startups with seasoned experts who provide invaluable guidance and support.
Expert Bells meticulously selects mentors who possess not only deep expertise but also a genuine passion for helping startups succeed. "We identify gaps in the Indian startup ecosystem and the specific categories where problems arise," Priyanka explains. "We believe the Indian startup ecosystem can become the most powerful... There's no lack of talent in India."
The platform's mentors come from diverse backgrounds and industries, ensuring startups find mentors who understand their unique needs and challenges. "We connect people with startups based on their needs," Priyanka adds, "and carefully match them with mentors who can best help them."

Expert Bells has created a user-friendly platform that simplifies booking mentorship sessions. "You simply click on the category, find the list of mentors, choose your mentor, and see their availability," Priyanka explains. "It's as easy as booking a movie ticket."
This seamless process eliminates scheduling hassles, ensuring startups can connect with mentors conveniently.
The entrepreneurial journey is fraught with challenges, and Expert Bells recognizes this reality. "Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster," Priyanka acknowledges. "Every day brings new hurdles, from scaling to team building to launching new products."
Despite these challenges, Priyanka remains optimistic and encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to embrace the ups and downs. "That's the real fun of entrepreneurship," she asserts. "Learning from mistakes and rising after falling."
As a mother and successful entrepreneur, Priyanka Chalani has mastered balancing her personal and professional life. She follows the 8-8-8 rule, dedicating eight hours each to sleep, work, and family. This structured approach allows her to excel in both her roles as a mother and a business leader.
"The 8-8-8 rule isn't rigid," she clarifies. "It's about finding a rhythm that works for you. Sometimes, I wake up early or sleep later to accommodate my work commitments. The key is to ensure that my work never compromises the time I spend with my family."
Priyanka encourages women to strive for financial independence and pursue their passions guilt-free. "Being financially independent is crucial," she advises. "It's not about neglecting your family; it's about finding a balance that empowers you."

The platform is also expanding its reach to other countries, focusing on the UAE and Singapore. "We're targeting these countries in addition to our strong presence in North East and South India," Priyanka shares.
Priyanka Chalani's message to aspiring entrepreneurs is one of empowerment. "Focus on the three Ps: patience, persistence, and perseverance," she advises. She also stresses the importance of content creation, networking, and collaboration.
