Agenda:

A New Series by eChai, Welcoming Founders & Leaders to the Valley


​This gathering is designed to help visiting founders and leaders plug into the ecosystem through real conversations, not just handshakes. It’s where community meets serendipity — over chai, conversation, and shared ambition.


​​We’re keeping it small, casual, and intentional. No panels. No slides. Just thoughtful conversations, curious minds, and real connections.


​​We’re kicking things off with someone who reflects the spirit of this series, This Edition’s First Guest: Jash Gor


​​We’re excited to host Jash Gor, a 23-year-old investor and second-generation entrepreneur from India.


​​Jash leads New Business Initiatives at Riddhi Corporate Services Ltd (RCSL), a publicly listed logistics and BPO company working with India’s largest banks and government bodies. Through his family office, he’s evaluated 150+ startups, invested in 10+, and deployed $$M+ in the last 2 years — with a strong focus on logistics and B2B e-commerce.


​​He’s currently at Stanford University, taking courses on leadership and team dynamics in the AI era — and more importantly, he’s here to meet founders and builders from all backgrounds who are creating meaningful ventures.


​Who Should Join?


​​Founders building early-stage or growth-stage startups, operators or builders new to SF, ​Investors, advisors, or community builders who want to support visiting founders. Anyone curious to connect over thoughtful conversation


​Spots are limited — RSVP early to save your seat.


​​Let’s make SF a more welcoming place — one touchdown at a time.

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."
