About eChai Ventures : Since 6+ years, eChai Ventures conceptualizes and organizes engaging entrepreneurial programs to help fellow entrepreneurs connect, share and collaborate. Also we host pretty diverse kinds of programs - eChai Demo Days, eChai RoundTables ( Sector-theme specific theme based knowledge sharing programs, eChai Skills Challenges ( Tech Challenge, Marketing Challenge, Design Challenge, Business Case Challenge, App Challenge, UI/UX Challenge, Business Model Challenge n others, Design Your City/Village programs, eChai UX Mornings, eChai Sales Evenings and our flagship #CoRise programs across all over India. The most amazing part of the eChai programs is the kind of conversations that happen among presenters and participants. Now we've expanded eChai into 40 cities - Ahmedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Indore, Bhopal, Udaipur, Jaipur, Delhi, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Colombo, Thimphu, Singapore, and many others where we host various eChai programs. In some cities we host an eChai program every week or in many other cities we host an eChai program once in a month. In coming months we'll have eChai Chapters in 100 cities from all over India which would make eChai an amazing pan India platform connecting enterprising people both offline & online to collaboratively rise together. Earlier we've also led a delegation of entrepreneurs to visit Singapore, Sri Lanka & Bhutan to explore the entrepreneurial eco-systems in respective countries and possible partnership opportunities for entrepreneurs from the community. eChai has earlier worked with some of India’s most prestigious educational institutions ( MICA, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Indore, Christ University, Bangalore, Somaiya Vidyavihar, Mumbai, S P Jain Institute of Management & Research, Vivekanand Education Society, Entrepreneurship Development Institute, Ahmedabad ( EDI ), CEPT University, icreate, Nirma University, NID , IIT Kharagpur, IIT Jodhpur and many others ), industry associations & accelerators ( Assocham, CII, GCCI, FICCI, DICCI, Startup Oasis, TLabs, IAMAI, Sankalp Forum, BHIve Workspace and many others ) and various Government organizations for various entrepreneurial programs. We are also partnering with many Universities/Associations/Institutions to host weekly eChai programs - it may happen that someday we'll have eChai programs happening simultaneously in 1k+ colleges/associations :-) Every month we have more than 10,000 people from all over India who physically participate in some of eChai programs or where we are significant partners. While our offline programs are growing amazingly well - we believe eChai.in & eChai Mobile App will grow exponentially and become much bigger than the number of enterprising people part of our offline programs. We generally don't make any distinction between all our efforts - offline programs, online social network, eChai Initiatives ( Sweetly, The Loo Project, Design Your City) and other research projects. For us everything is helping us to achieve our vision of Collaboratively Rising Together - #CoRise More info @ <a href="http://echai.in/about">http://echai.in/about</a>

Founders here come to know a few brands well.

Those are eChai’s partner brands. Over a year, founders across the network learn their names and their work, and when somebody asks around for what they do, theirs is the name that comes up.

What a year inside eChai does for your brand.

Each partnership comes with presence across eChai, introductions to the right founders, and a team that stays involved through the year. And each one is shaped around what the brand wants out of it.

Who you meet

Founders learn your name, then your work.

Over the year they keep running into you: at the gatherings, in the series, on the pages they read through the week. So when one of them needs what you do, they come straight to you.
We introduce you to the people you want to reach.

After seventeen years of gatherings we know who has built what, and who works with whom. Tell us who you are after, or we come to you when the right person shows up, with your story and why you two should talk.
You are invited to the gatherings that fit.

Open houses, Demo Days, the AI sessions, FailCode, the curated socials and the smaller dinners, some of them by invitation. When one fits what you do and who you want to meet, you are on the list.

What we do with you

We sit down with you on your story, your brand and your business.

One to one, more than once in the year. We have heard a few thousand founders, so you hear fairly quickly what is working, what is not, and what we would change first.
We take your team through what AI changed for us.

Almost everything eChai builds now has AI in the workflow. We go through what we tried, what worked and what wasted our time, and then connect you to founders further along than us.
You can ask us anything, whenever it comes up.

Every week we hear what founders are building, what they recommend to each other and what they have moved on from. Twice a year we go through what it means for your category. In between we answer, or find a founder who can.

Where your name runs

Your mark comes round under every page on eChai.

The wall of partner brands under the site's pages draws a different ten each time, so yours comes round on the city pages, the event pages and the notes founders read, all year. Your page on echai.ventures stays up after it, and your name runs through our LinkedIn, Instagram and X.
The blue tick puts you first wherever founders are listed.

The tick and your company's mark sit beside your name across eChai, and lists of founders put the blue ticks first: your city's people, the directory, and the roster of every gathering you go to, after its hosts and speakers.
Your company carries its mark on the Startup Grid.

Where your company is on a city's map of its startups, it is drawn by your mark rather than a dot, opens on your own words and pictures, and is a stop on the tour the map offers of its partner brands.
You write and speak here under your own name.

You come into the series we run online (How Founders Use AI, the founder conversations, the long reads) where you have something real to say, and you write in Founder Notes, where founders across our cities write about what they are building.

The brands working with us.

How it works.

A partnership is for growth stage founders who want to come in as a partner brand, and it runs one year at a time. The brand fee for the year is paid to eChai. An affiliate share runs alongside it, linked to the outcomes we drive together. Both carry GST.

Everything a partnership comes with
