**Apply for the Demo **

You can register to demo your venture our consideration @ https://echai.wufoo.com/forms/echai-demo-day-in-20-cities/ We will get back to you with more details.

The 15 most promising startups will be selected from eChai city.

#CoRise Seed Prize:

We will experiment with the interesting format for #CoRise Seed Prize - where eChai Members can vote for their favorite startups that they want to support among all the 20 citeis and the startup with maximum number of votes will receive the seed prize.

Just before the event, we'll publish the detailed eChai Showcase interviews of each of the selected demo startups. Also we'll have awesome eChai Offers for all the demo startups.

eChai team & #CoRisers will contribute Rs. 25K to the #CoRise seed prize for the over all winner from 20 Cities. The winner will be announced on 4th Feb. It will be interesting to see how this experiment goes.

Certainly, this amount is not the replacement of funding or something like that, but a good way of contributing something instead of just worryng about startup ecosystem or culture :-)

One of the idea is to have eChai Members contribute by being the customer/evangelist/partner of the participating startups and leveraging their business resources to help the #CoRise Seed Prize winner & other startups succeed.

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.”

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
