Agenda:
eChai Ventures and Upsquare are launching AI Actions Lab, a joint initiative to help founders, businesses, industries, professionals, and institutions across India explore and adopt AI in their work.

As part of AI Actions Lab, we are hosting AI Open Hours every Friday, 4 pm to 7 pm at House of Starts, Ahmedabad.

Chai and cookies on the house. Bring your laptop. Wi-Fi is sorted. Grab a seat and get to work.

AI Open Hours is the simplest version of what a lot of people are looking for. A place to show up, do your work, and be around others who are curious about AI or actively building with it.

You set your own agenda. Work on what matters to you. Good things happen when interesting people are in the same room.

The people next to you might be shipping a product, learning a new tool, running experiments, or figuring out where AI fits into their business. Conversations happen naturally. You compare notes, swap tools, help each other debug something. Some of the best ideas come from these unplanned exchanges.

Towards the end, some folks showcase what they are working on. Quick demos, works in progress, early experiments. Completely optional, but always interesting.

If you are in Ahmedabad and looking to talk, meet, and explore other people who are into AI, this is your place to be.

Every Friday. Same time. Same place.

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.
