Jeff Bezos (Founder and CEO, Amazon) rightly said, I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.

Since the past 5 years, a lot of books, courses, bootcamps and numerous pep talks on “STARTUPS” have been carried out by experienced entrepreneurs to educate emerging entrepreneurs and startups. If you crawl the web, you’d find gazillions of resources. Here is when it becomes hard for us to decide which resources to count on.

In this Startup Saturday session, we bring to you ‘The Basics Of Starting Up’ - which will be covering Startup’s inception essentials. This session is modularised in a manner which gathers profound experiences, failures and hard-learned lessons of our speakers and brings you the ultimate checklist. Modularising this session is just to follow an event flow, but it awaits to bring to you some immersive stories from our speakers. This session is for:

Students and aspiring entrepreneurs

- Whose 1st startup failed and who want to rise up again (ethically!)
- Who are currently CEO, COO, CMO or co-founder of a startup
- Who are engrossed in their typical day job, but want to gain deep insights on the startup ecosystem!
- Who are working in a startup but the product is failing
- Who has an ample amount of ideas but lacks money and the right team.
- Who have ample amount of money but negligible ideas.

Enroll for the event today and help yourself from getting submerged!

It is a high and wonderful time for you to Start-Up! Now prepare a long list of questions you’ll be asking to speakers of this session - whether it be a silly question or a complex one, be ready with all your questions. We’ll make sure it gets answered in this startup Saturday!

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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
