As part of the Gandhinagar Startup Meetup, eChai Ventures and PDEU IIC are hosting a session on what it takes to build companies that grow with clarity and purpose. Founders today are thinking beyond quick wins. They want to create something useful, something that customers trust, and something that can stand on its own over time. This conversation brings together people who are building with that mindset.

The speakers come from water-tech, product design, food innovation, sustainability, engineering, and early-stage venture building. Their journeys are different, but they all focus on understanding real problems, building practical solutions, and shaping teams that care about the work. Their experiences give a clear view of how purpose and profit work together when founders stay close to the basics.

Students, early-stage entrepreneurs, and operators will find this helpful. The discussion will touch on pricing, profitability, handling setbacks, decision-making, and how purpose becomes part of daily operations. It is a chance to understand how steady, meaningful growth is built by people who are solving real problems and learning from the process.
