Agenda:
AI Night is co-hosted by eChai Ventures and Upsquare, as part of AI Actions Lab.

It is 9:30 in the night. Most of the city has wound down for the day, and a few founders and startup folks in Ahmedabad are just getting started. They walk in with laptops, with ideas they have not shown anyone yet, with the energy that only really comes out after work hours. This is AI Night, and it runs till 1:30 am.

We made it late on purpose. The good conversations in our community rarely happen on a schedule. They happen after the panels are over, when someone says here is what I am actually working on, and the next three hours go somewhere you did not plan. AI Night is built around that. Founders, startup folks, and anyone who is into AI, together for the whole night. You do not have to be building something to belong here. Being curious about where this is going is enough.

The night moves in three parts.

First, the AI Debate. We put the questions everyone is already arguing about on the table and let people take sides. Open source against closed. Agents against workflows. How far this generation of models actually goes, and how much of the noise is real. It gets sharp, it gets fun, and people walk away thinking differently than when they came in.

Then the AI Demos. This is where people show what they have been building. The product someone has been shipping, the side project that got out of hand, the agent put together over a weekend, the workflow that saves a team hours every day. Half-built is welcome. This is the crowd that understands what you are trying to do and will give you an honest reaction.

And once it crosses midnight, music jamming. By then nobody is in a hurry to leave, and a guitar and a few voices is a good way to close out a night like this.

So come for the part you love and stay for the rest. Bring something to demo if you have it, bring your takes for the debate, and bring yourself for the music. We will see you at Friday 9:30 pm.

The people

These open and free events are hosted across cities and countries as part of a broader effort to keep the startup ecosystem accessible, inclusive, and connected. You’ll find a diverse mix of participants: early-stage founders, students, aspiring entrepreneurs, professionals exploring transitions, and others curious about the theme. Each event brings a different experience, shaped by the people who show up.

The format

We host panels, talks, socials, open houses, and demo days in different formats. Each individual event listing clearly mentions what’s planned, so you know exactly what kind of experience to expect before you register.

The flow

You can check the exact time and map address of the venue directly on the event page. Once you register, you typically receive four emails: a confirmation, a reminder a day before the event, another on the day itself, and a follow-up after it ends. You can manage your email notifications at any time.

The guest list

The participant list on the event page keeps updating as more people register. Since attendees often sign up through platforms like eChai, Meetup, Eventbrite, and others, the visible numbers may not reflect the complete turnout. Speakers are usually announced three to four days before the event, and you’ll also start seeing featured participants appear as they register.

The context

You can also explore the list of past participants and speakers from each city to get a sense of who typically joins. It offers a glimpse into the kind of conversations, collaborations, and diversity that shape each meetup. Every event has its own purpose, shaped by its theme, setting, and the community that gathers around it.

The experience

Some people come to learn, others to connect, and many just to explore. While the agenda provides structure, the real energy often comes from the spontaneous conversations and shared curiosity in the room. These events are open to a broad mix of people including students, professionals, early-stage founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs. If you are specifically looking to meet only growth-stage or highly targeted founders, this may not be the right format for you. In that case, you might explore scale up dinners and socials for growth stage founders and operators.
