All about Cryptocurrency Market

Happened on September 16, Saturday, 2017
10:30pm — 01:30am (GMT+05:30)
Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship
Event Details:

There is a growing consensus that cryptocurrencies will certainly play a crucial role in the way we deal with money. In April 2017, the total market cap for all cryptocurrencies, combined, was slightly higher than $25 Bn. The same market cap shot up by 300% and touched $100 Bn within 60 days. It is already widely reported that cryptocurrency, as an asset class, is set to outpace all other asset classes in relative growth.

However, things changed drastically after the demonetisation drive announced by PM Narendra Modi. This action was meant to curtail counterfeit cash, but it also left many people panicking. In the panic, Indian residents turned to Bitcoin. Google recently reported that searches from India about Bitcoin have reached all-time highs, and the value has too.

And these are just teasers. We have a fantastic lineup of experts from several industries who are coming down to Startup Saturday Ahmedabad - All About Cryptocurrency Market.

And we'd love to have you over to hear these experts & share with us your views on the industry. To do this, you can buy your tickets here: http://bit.ly/ssahm_sept17

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
