Payal patel, aahar- rooted by plants

Hey there..
Myself payal patel. My born and brought up was in Vadodara, Gujarat.
I have done M.Sc in applied chemistry. Then worked in chemical company making printing inks in r&d department.

Over the time, I realised that I'm more interested in cooking, foods & beverage businesses. So I started with small home kitchen in my home town vadodara where I was offering smoothie bowls, plant-based milk, cold pressed juices on preorder basis.
One day randomly I just filled the form for food stall & the event was happening in Bangalore. So I had no idea that how to do I manage everything from vadodara... From buying the things n putting up the stall... But luckily I found friend of friend living in banglore and we put up the stall together and the response we got from the city was marvellous... I was totally amazed with crowd and people's interest for my products. Then I realised that I was selling my food to a wrong place ( Vadodara ) where market is still not ready for this. And I decided to start my venture in banglore.

Just one month ago I shifted to Bangalore and still exploring this city. I want to make new friends, business contacts, network for my business here.
Luckily I got to know about this event, thought to give it a try and applied.

My agenda to join echai is to find co-founder & investors for my startup idea on smoothie bar.

So yaa thankyou for reading this.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

“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!”
