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

"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."

"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!”
