Manan Ahuja

Founder, the Tales of Bangalore

Hi I am Manan, the founder of a recently inaugurated community called the Tales of Bangalore. A vibrant soul born on October 22, 2000, in the picturesque Pink City of India, Jaipur. After completing my graduation from Bits Pilani in 2022, I embarked on a new chapter in his life, shifting to the bustling city of Bangalore in 2023 for work.
Coming from Jaipur, the transition to Bangalore life was a stark contrast for me. Every person I met seemed to carry an untold story, a new chapter waiting to unfold. The city, with its unique characters and quirks, became the canvas for the ongoing story of my life.
This transformative experience led me to start "The Tales of Bangalore", where I aim to capture the beauty of the city, where technology converges with tradition, diversity harmonizes with unity, and every street and corner holds a story to be told.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”
