​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

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

“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.”
