The next eChai Startup Demo Day is on 23 October in Nagpur. The next after that is on 31 October, all in person, with 10 cities confirmed and 68 founders registered. We want to bring it to 83 more cities in India too: any city that reaches 20 interested founders is on. See your city

Every month, early-stage founders present what they are building to the founders in their own city, in person, and get feedback on it that day. Every demo then lives on this page.

Confirmed

Coming up this October 2026

Proposed

Saturday 31 October

83 cities

We plan to run these events in these cities. Nothing is booked yet: we have no venue or host in any of them, so each becomes a real event once 20 founders there show interest, and everyone who did is registered.

How it works

Founders apply with what they are building, from the Demo Day page in their city. Every application gets one of two answers.

On stage

A handful of founders per city present on the day, live product on screen. Each city's host sets that lineup, and those demos are marked "On stage" below.

Listed here

The stage holds far fewer founders than apply, so most approved demos live here instead, where the whole network can see them.

Applying takes a line on what you are building and a link. We read every one and email you which of the two it is.

Demos

What founders are building

No demos yet in the October 2026 edition. They land here as founders are approved.
