Event Details:

Josh Talks is coming to Ahmedabad in association with Facebook.The day-long conference cuts across genres, bringing you a wide narrative on India. We dive into history, exploring India’s 2600-yr tradition of coins; see how Shyam Bedekar’s remarkable invention is enabling him and his wife to create social impact across India and beyond; experience a young woman’s drive to bring textbook science theories to life for children; and take a journey to the dark depths of coal mining and its bitter consequences for our own people.

Uplifting stories and thought-provoking experiences come together to take you on a roller coaster journey of ideas.

Here is the speaker lineup of Josh Talks Ahmedabad 2017 :
-Aruna Chandrashekhar is a journalist and researcher who studied the human rights and environmental impact of coal mining in Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh for 3 years. She published an Amnesty International report on her findings.

-Indu Harikumar is an artist who created an art project called 100 Indian Tinder Tales. The campaign went viral on social media, and as people shared their tinder experiences, she converted them into illustrations. So, what's India's experience on Tinder? Indu will tell us...

-Aditi Gupta wants to change our cultural attitude to menstruation. Why is it a taboo subject? She and her partner Tuhin Paul took a unique approach to educating teen and pre-teen girls about menstruation. They created a comic called Menstrupedia that answers questions and busts myths. It's traveled India and been translated into multiple languages.

-Monica Yadav with Respire Experiential Learning,brings science theory to life for children. In fact, was science ever meant to stay within the confines of textbooks? How about involving children in building the theories into real life working models - that's Monica's big idea. As she encourages children to get creative with science, the sparks of imagination begin to fly.

-Dr Tejas Naik is known in the medical community as a celebrated pediatric surgeon. For the rest of the world, however, he is a traveler and collector with an extraordinary fascination for coins, artefacts, symbols, and relics from times past. His home is a museum, and a work of art. In its shelves and cases and corners, it contains 100 million years of world history. All it takes to book a tour and a wonderful host is a phone call.

- Shyam Bedekar is an entrepreneur who is using excellent business management and a science invention to transform the menstrual health of rural women in Gujarat.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve 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, we’ve 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 — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s 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. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
