Pratham Dave

Founder and CEO, Ardra Innovation

I wrote my first line of code when I was 13 years old. Started with basic html then slowly started to learn different programming languages.

After 2 years of experimenting and learning new things on python, I started my freelancing journey on Fiverr and started to serve clients. As I started to get good traction from my Fiverr profile I finally decided to start my own tech company called Ardra Innovation.

At Ardra we provide services like Web Development, App Development, E-commerce, Software Development and AI/ML integrations. Its been a year since I started my company and the journey of entrepreneurship has truly been amazing.

I also have a YouTube channel named Coder Dave(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFHOpBtoBj9-WkE6jZmh4RA) where I post coding related content.

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."

Harsha Bhurani

Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

Mehul Shah

Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
