I have always been fascinated by 'artistic expressions', but as I heard the word ‘Innovation’ (the first time, from my dad, I was in 7th grade), I never thought that the creation of both came from the same part of the brain, and how artistic expressions are the innovations of polity. years later, I skimmed through geo-polity and geo-biology out of curiosity and learned to see how shaky are the so-called constants.
this drove me towards an explorative attitude as the changing landscapes that humans have created is real only until the validity of the consensus. speaking of consensus, that’s where I was enthralled by the significance of communications and conversations that have built this place, we live in. My fascination towards ‘artistic expressions’ reached new heights when I could see how such conversations have solved and would solve pressing problems. so, I was so interested to learn diverse artforms and so, practised and performed those at all opportunities both within school and out to other schools as well. for every event that would happen I try my best to put atleast one performance (mostly, a team performance), this led me to be on stage for a much longer time and got accustomed to collaborate and address cohorts. I would dance, play keyboard, sing, do mimicry, do beat box, sketch cartoons, paint, write plays and mimes, do graphic design and write poetry.
I converted a paint warehouse into a science lab and collect artefacts that felt ‘scientific’ and talk about those artefacts to those who were similarly interested, I would also play an obsessive amount of basketball and badminton along with football and table tennis. so, as I had this diverse interests and interesting conversations as a consequence, I gathered a team of such driven minds and tried to collaborate with them and make conversations that would not happen on itself, I was blown away to see how interesting would those conversations be between an aspiring mechanical engineer and an aspiring architect, between a chartered accountant and communications engineer, between a law student and a communications engineer, and further more combinations. I tried to create systems to have learning as an obvious consequence and it did transform into a hub of consequential perspectives. the explorative attitude gave the ability to see things in insightful angles and made the process of solving problems interesting’

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
