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."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
