Agenda:

Hosted by eChai Ventures, LegalWiz.in and DevX.


An afternoon of conversations, showcases and connections for founders, investors and ecosystem leaders.


We begin with a short welcome, followed by two engaging panel discussions and a curated startup showcase.




  • Panel 1: Money Matters – Fundraising, Exits and the Startup Money Game
    Founders and investors share practical insights on raising capital, structuring deals, planning exits and making smart financial decisions for sustainable growth.




  • Panel 2: Scaling Up Your Business
    Stories and strategies from founders who have taken their companies from early traction to significant scale, covering team building, market expansion and operational excellence.



The Startup Showcase gives selected founders the opportunity to present their ideas, progress and vision to a room of peers, mentors and potential backers.


We close with open networking, where conversations often lead to new collaborations, partnerships and opportunities.

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."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"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."
