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

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“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."
