Agenda:

Join us for an evening of insights, stories, and real fundraising playbooks.


eChai and Provyz are hosting GVFL, one of India’s pioneering venture capital firms, for a candid mixer-style event. The GVFL core team will share how they evaluate early-stage startups and support them post-investment.


You'll also hear from GVFL’s Surat-based portfolio founders — Growit, Evify, VideoSDK, Zero Cow Factory, and Zoivane — as they reflect on their fundraising journey, what clicked, and what they wish they knew earlier.


This is a great opportunity for founders who are exploring venture capital and want to learn directly from investors and funded founders.


Let’s decode fundraising together with real stories and real conversations.

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!”

“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.”
