Agenda:

An exclusive invite-only evening where global scale meets local connection.


​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

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"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."

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
