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

"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."

“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.”

Syed Nadeem Jafri

Founder, Hearty Mart

"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."
