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

"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."
