Soumyadip Chowdhury

Founder

Lets get started with my name which is Soumyadip . As you all now already know my name . So now let's dive into the main concern: " Telling about myself ".
I used to study in NIFT (Bangalore) but took a drop to follow my heart's desire towards building this startup and going against the tide with my family as pillar and support.
So how this fashion ka keeda became my reality,
I am hailing from a unorganised apparel manufacturing family background and as I grew tons of fabric wastes in our warehouses and piles of leftover finished garment stocks in shop was a growing concern for . But I got no clear idea then what courses can help me solve that . So in class 9 a sudden incident happened from where I got to know the terms of Indian fashion industry such as fashion design and NIFT. So from there I got a spike of interest towards this course in a hope that there will be talks about sustainability and futuristic fashion . I also got a digital graphic design course in between, which resulted in me always connecting fashion and digital design and technology. And long story short so after 2 years perseverance after my 12th grade I finally got into NIFT but there I couldn't connect with what I was planning to aim since childhood. So this decision to drop college and learn external 3D fashion and AI courses which I find more close towards my goals and startup idea. And from there this jump to create brand which will convert a niche area of society into a circular economy cycle using well proven technological marvels like DPPs which would eventually cause an innovative global fashion revolution on a wavy scale across the globe .

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."

“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!”
