On January 24th, DA-IICT in Gandhinagar will host the eChai Founders Meetup, where real entrepreneurs will share their stories with students and the startup community. From 6 pm to 8 pm, this event offers a chance to hear firsthand what it’s really like to build something from the ground up.


The meetup isn’t about polished speeches or textbook advice—it’s about raw, unfiltered insights from founders who’ve navigated the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. It’s a chance to hear how they faced failure, dealt with uncertainty, and ultimately made their businesses work.

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."

Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
