Top-rated questions will be asked live by the host during the event.
  • What’s one red flag you immediately notice in a startup’s security or infra setup?
  • Is SOC2 or ISO27001 actually worth it for startups in year 1–2? What’s the ROI?
  • What’s the most underrated thing founders can do to build trust in data-sensitive industries?
  • How do you convince early-stage teams to care about security when speed is everything?
  • What does “building trust” mean in practical terms when you’re a startup trying to onboard your first enterprise client?
  • What role do design and UX play in making security and compliance workflows less painful for product and ops teams?
  • For early-stage startups, when is the “too early” moment for compliance — and when is it too late?
  • How do you approach hiring for compliance in a fast-growing team? Have you made a wrong hire in this area? What did you learn?
  • What is one non-obvious investment (a tool, process, or mindset) that dramatically improved your company’s security posture?
  • How do you embed security thinking across product, engineering, and sales from day one without becoming the ‘no’ team?
Agenda:

eChai Ventures and Narad.io are hosting a focused meetup in Bengaluru for founders and operators navigating infosec and compliance in fast-growing startups.


We’ll unpack the real-world challenges around data security, regulatory frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR, DPDP, etc.), and how to stay compliant without slowing down product or growth.


Expect candid conversations with startup founders, compliance experts, and CTOs who’ve been through the audit trenches — plus plenty of room to ask your questions.


If you're a founder, product builder, or part of an early-stage team working with sensitive data or regulated industries — this one's for you.

"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."
