​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

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
