Weekend is always a preferred time for socializing, but when socializing happens along with learning with like-minded people, it is super awesome. Glad to share our journey from using tools to discovering use cases and finding the product-market fit for AiVANTA in our AI video space.
It was insightful to listen to Udit Goenka, who has done the journey of zero to one multiple times. Plus, his way of approaching building a product is something every aspiring co-founder should listen to.
Shubham Dumbre and Aanchal Verma🏆 made sure that the entire session was not just well managed but also very interactive. This structure gave participants the chance to ask their questions, and even we got to learn from them.
I request all of you reading this to follow eChai Ventures for such events in the near future and do attend them — definitely a great way to socialize and learn with like-minded people on a Saturday!
Agenda:
We'll have candid panel conversation with AI founders and operators which will be followed by open pitches from early stage founders.
Panel Discussion: Hear from leading AI founders and operators as they share their experiences and insights of building AI products.
AI Product Showcase: Discover upcoming AI products and solutions from the community
Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow AI enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals.
This is an awesome opportunity to learn about the latest trends in AI, explore potential collaborations, and network with AI folks from the community.
Last week, I had the privilege of moderating a fireside chat with Aakash Gupta, a celebrated leader in product management, at an event hosted by Product Tank Mumbai and eChai Ventures 🌟
Aakash, the mind behind Product Growth, one of the world’s largest product management newsletters, shared invaluable insights on navigating the evolving landscape of product management. 🚀
The event brought together over 120 passionate product management enthusiasts from Mumbai, creating a vibrant space for learning, networking, and exchanging ideas.
The energy in the room was electric, and the discussions showcased the incredible talent and potential within the Mumbai product community.
It was an honor to contribute to this gathering, and I’m grateful to have had the chance to interact with such a diverse and motivated audience.
Here’s to fostering more such conversations that shape the future of product innovation in Mumbai!
I give up on thinking I know everything about marketing.
I give up on believing that sticking to what’s familiar will take me further.
And most importantly, I give up on underestimating the power of new ideas.
Attending this event completely flipped my perspective. Here’s why:
My way of thinking
I always thought marketing was about strategies, numbers, and perfect campaigns. But this event? It showed me it’s so much more than that.
It’s about people, relationships, and how you evolve your thinking to match the ever-changing world around you.
The Founder’s Touch is Crucial ↳ The team behind simply Salads shared how staying connected with your business as a founder can create trust and authenticity. ↳ It’s a reminder that your unique touch is what sets your brand apart in a crowded market.
Lesson? People connect with people, not just products.
Traditional Marketing Still Has Power ↳ Koumal Kalantry taught us that while digital is booming, traditional marketing strategies can still create a lasting impact. ↳ Combining the old with the new can future proof your brand while keeping it relatable. Takeaway? The medium might change, but the message stays timeless.
Think Bigger, Dream Bigger ↳ Meeting founders (some who’ve been featured on Shark Tank!) showed me the importance of pushing past limitations and broadening your perspective. ↳ Innovation happens when you challenge yourself to think beyond what’s possible.
If you’re a small founder or business owner, here’s the truth: your success isn’t about doing what’s trendy—it’s about doing what’s authentic to you.
Learn from the past, innovate for the future, and never stop building meaningful connections.
A heartfelt thanks to all the incredible founders I met for broadening my perspective and reminding me why I started this journey
