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 attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
