Aryabhatt Hall
Event Details:

The team behind your idea is the most important piece of the startup puzzle. Once you choose a great co-founder and go as far as you can with just the two of you, it's time to start building the rest of your team. Hiring the right people makes all the difference, especially in the early days.

As Steve Jobs rightly said, Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people. We at Headstart, are choosing Building your A-Team as the theme for the Startup Saturday, February edition. This is the 2nd part of the 6-month series of 'How to Start a Start-Up', taking you through the steps, decisions, questions that every entrepreneur faces during a startup cycle.

ENTRY FEES: INR 100/-

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
