National Startup Day Special Meetup in Ahmedabad

Happened on January 16, Thursday, 2025
6:30pm — 08:30pm (GMT+05:30)
IIMA Ventures
120 slots booked.
Agenda:

National Startup Day deserves something real. Join eChai Ventures and IIMA Ventures in Ahmedabad on January 16, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, for an evening of sharp ideas, real insights, and startup energy. Founders, investors, and curious minds - this is where it happens.


We’re keeping it simple: founders who’ve built, scaled, and learned will share what works (and what doesn’t). A panel with investors will cut through the noise and get to the heart of fundraising. Just honest conversations about what it takes to grow.


And then, the startups. Fresh ideas. Bold pitches. This showcase is about founders putting their work out there. If you’re into real connections and sharp takeaways, show up. It’s free, open for everyone, and all about building something that lasts.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"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."
