Mansi Panchal isn’t your typical CEO; she’s the blueprint for a new kind of leadership.
A lawyer by background and a sales coach by grind, she built her career from the ground up, scaling teams, closing record-breaking deals, and leading with speed and clarity. Previously, as a C-level employee at multiple firms, she drove over half the company’s revenue and built a 50+ member team that delivered consistently, because she built it right.
FounderX was born from the gaps Mansi saw in the UAE’s business setup space, outdated processes, slow systems, and founders left guessing. So she created a platform that’s fast, founder-focused, and built to scale.
Today, it’s where driven entrepreneurs turn their ideas into real, revenue-ready businesses, with none of the delays and all the direction.
With Mansi at the helm, we don’t just keep up. We lead.
In October 2024, Gulf Business named our CEO, Mansi Panchal, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, a powerful recognition of her bold leadership and lasting impact in the UAE’s business setup space.
Mansi has built FounderX into a founder-first company that simplifies licensing, documentation, and early-stage growth for hundreds of entrepreneurs. This award is more than a personal achievement, it’s a validation of the vision and hard work behind FounderX’s mission.
For us as a company, this reflects the difference we’re making every day: breaking down barriers in the GCC’s business setup landscape and setting new standards for speed, clarity, trust, honesty, and support. It reinforces our commitment to empowering founders with the tools and guidance they need to launch and scale confidently.
Mansi’s success is our success, and it fuels our drive to lead, innovate, and redefine what business setup means in this region.
FounderX was never about playing it safe; it was born from a fire inside me.
Watching my dad build his business taught me one thing: if you want it done right, you’ve got to own it yourself.
I also realized early that the 9-to-5 grind, the slow routines, the guesswork, none of that was for me. I wanted speed, clarity, and results yesterday. But driving alone isn’t enough. You need someone to show the path. That’s why I built FounderX.
FounderX isn’t just a business setup company. It’s the roadmap I wish I’d had. We cut through the noise, simplify the messy, and give founders the confidence to start and scale fast. No guessing, no waiting, just action.
For ambitious first-timers and bold builders ready to make waves, we show you how to own it, grow it, and make it real.
This is only the beginning
Mansi Panchal
Founder & CEO, FounderX
