Cover for AI Enablement for SMEs and Startups : Bengaluru Edition

AI Enablement for SMEs and Startups : Bengaluru Edition

eChai Ventures, Petpooja and Urban Vault are coming together for a series of AI Enablement for SMEs and Startups sessions across cities. The idea is to bring founders, operators, and SME owners into the same room and trade notes on what is actually working with AI.
AI tools are everywhere right now and a lot of SMEs and startups are still working out where to begin. Some founders are deep into experiments and figuring things out as they go. Others are watching from the sidelines, waiting for the right starting point. Most are somewhere in between.
This eChai session is a chance to hear what other founders and SME owners are doing with AI day to day across sales, marketing, hiring, support, operations, and product. The prompts they keep going back to. The tools that have stuck. The ones they tried and dropped. The small workflow changes that added up over the months.
If you run an SME or a startup, or you are part of a team thinking about where AI fits in, come spend a couple of hours with us. Bring questions about your own business. Leave with a clearer path forward and a few founders to keep talking to.
