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

"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."

Shalin (Shawn) Parikh

Founder, MyCPE One

"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.

Jaydip Parikh

Chief Everything Officer at Tej SolPro

"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."
