- Set up a competent marketing ecosystem from scratch and made them productive within 3 months
- Grew the Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) funnel by 10X in a matter of months

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
