Agenda:

AI x SaaS Founders Meetup is a gathering for builders who are curious about how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of software-as-a-service. The session will bring together founders, operators, and product leaders to share how AI is being used in SaaS products, from customer support and workflow tools to new business ideas. It will be a chance to hear real stories and practical insights from people building in this space.


The discussions will focus on real experiences of building and scaling AI-driven SaaS. From creating new product features and getting customers to adopt them to solving technical challenges and raising funds, participants will get useful lessons that they can apply to their own journey.


The meetup is also about building meaningful connections. Founders will get to meet peers who are working on similar challenges, exchange learnings, and explore opportunities to work together. If you are building, investing in, or simply curious about AI x SaaS, this is the place to be.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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."

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

"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."
