Agenda:

The Mehsana Startups and SMEs Meetup will bring together entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startup founders from across the region for an evening of meaningful conversations and connections. Organized by eChai Ventures, Wadhwani Foundation, and Namo iHub, the meetup is designed to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship while creating opportunities for collaboration and growth.


The session will feature open conversations where founders can share their journeys, talk about challenges faced in building their ventures, and exchange practical learnings. Instead of formal pitches or panels, the focus will be on candid dialogues that highlight what it really takes to build and grow businesses in today’s dynamic environment.


Beyond knowledge sharing, the meetup also creates space for discovering synergies. Entrepreneurs will get the chance to meet potential collaborators, explore new opportunities, and interact with ecosystem enablers who are shaping Gujarat’s entrepreneurial landscape.


Whether you are building a startup, running a traditional SME, or just exploring your first business idea, this meetup will offer fresh perspectives, real founder stories, and valuable connections that can support your journey ahead.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"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."

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
