​We’re hosting eChai’s ScaleUp Social — a handpicked gathering of growth-stage founders, investors, and operators shaping what’s next across India, the U.S., and beyond.


​This is not your average mixer. No panels. No pitches. Just real conversations with people who are building bold.


​Here’s a look at a few of the incredible folks joining us:


​✨ Nirman Dave (Zams, ex-Obviously AI) — Forbes 30 Under 30, INK Fellow, and creator of a no-code AI platform used by 3,000+ businesses.


​✨ Mehul Shah (Ivy Growth) — prolific founder-investor with 150+ portfolio startups and the mind behind 21by72, India’s largest Tier-2 startup summit.


​✨ Jash Gor (RCS) — 23-year-old Stanford-bound founder scaling a $2M ARR logistics SaaS from inside his family’s $100M+ public company.


​✨ Ankit Panchal (Macrotech Global) — AI-led hospitality tech innovator, AAHOA Board Member, and Young Hotelier of the Year.


​✨ Maulik Kotadiya (Valorx) — co-founder behind Salesforce-integrated solutions trusted by Google, NVIDIA, BP, and other Fortune 500 clients.


​✨ Snehaal Dhruv (PYC AI) —  serial entrepreneur and GenAI + XR innovator, now leading immersive tech at PYC AI.


​✨ Rahul Kayala (100X.AI) — founder & CEO of 100X.AI - building AI-native enterprise copilot.


​✨ Bhakti Dudhara (Aubergine Solutions) — co-founder of a global UX firm designing products for 15+ countries, from scrappy startups to Fortune 500 giants.


​We’ll also have a few Valley-based VCs, product leaders, and curious minds around the table.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
