Agenda:

Building a startup is a team effort, and finding the right co-founders and early employees can make all the difference.


Join us for an engaging conversation where founders will share their experiences of how they met their co-founders, built their teams, and navigated early hiring decisions. Whether you're looking for a co-founder, hiring your first team members, or simply curious about the journey, this session will offer valuable insights and real stories from those who have been through it.


This is also an opportunity for startup folks looking for co-founders to introduce themselves and connect with potential collaborators.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
