Event Details:

We are pleased to inform you that SINE, the business incubator at IIT Bombay, and Intel, a world leader in innovations, are initiating a collaborative incubation program for hardware start-ups, with support from Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.

The program aims to address the gaps in the start-up ecosystem in India that hardware companies face for product development and commercialization. The 1-year incubation will help startups with grants, access to follow-on funding, intensive training, one-on-one mentoring, technical support from Intel experts, business service support, as well as prototyping and manufacturing support.

We are launching the program on 6 August 2016. The event agenda includes inauguration of the incubation program, speeches, panel discussion, and networking over lunch. It would be good to hear your views on facilitating hardware start-ups in India, and to explore ways of working together. Seats are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please register your interest and we will follow up with confirmation and official invitation.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

“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.”

"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."
