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 .

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"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."
