The eChai Effect - In Their Words
βYou donβt plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up β¦ and one day, you realize you did.β Iβve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, weβve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts β our venture builder β eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isnβt just a startup network. Itβs a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"eChai isnβt just a startup community β¦ itβs a mindset .Β eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. Itβs been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. Iβve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here β people who genuinely want to see you succeed.Β Itβs a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. Iβll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders donβt just grow businesses β they grow together."

"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.Β As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction.Β Over the years, it became my window to the startup world β and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
