Manan Ahuja - Founder, the Tales of Bangalore

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

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

“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!”

"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."
