To keep the ‘Startup Movement’ going, GESIA IT Association along with the Department of Science & Technology, Government of Gujarat is hosting a three-day event full of experiential learning and networking for start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs.

This event is organized as a forerunner to the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit. Designed as a platform for innovators and entrepreneurs from across the world to meet and interact, the event will include a notable line of expert speakers addressing a range of challenges and doubts related to entrepreneurship with the theme of Experience the Next.

What’s more, this year the focus is on technology as a catalyst to entrepreneurship. The rapid advancement of technology along with policies such as the ‘smart cities’ initiative has paved the way for the young generation to innovate and take charge leading to a startup revolution. Apart from this, in order to take a step forward in the process of incentivizing upcoming startups, a selected few startups will get the chance to pitch their business plan to the investors present at the event. The Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat will be inaugurating the summit in the presence of other dignitaries from the Government, Business Leaders, Economists, Academicians, Policymakers and Industry Stalwarts.

The people

These open and free events are hosted across cities and countries as part of a broader effort to keep the startup ecosystem accessible, inclusive, and connected. You’ll find a diverse mix of participants: early-stage founders, students, aspiring entrepreneurs, professionals exploring transitions, and others curious about the theme. Each event brings a different experience, shaped by the people who show up.

The format

We host panels, talks, socials, open houses, and demo days in different formats. Each individual event listing clearly mentions what’s planned, so you know exactly what kind of experience to expect before you register.

The flow

You can check the exact time and map address of the venue directly on the event page. Once you register, you typically receive four emails: a confirmation, a reminder a day before the event, another on the day itself, and a follow-up after it ends. You can manage your email notifications at any time.

The guest list

The participant list on the event page keeps updating as more people register. Since attendees often sign up through platforms like eChai, Meetup, Eventbrite, and others, the visible numbers may not reflect the complete turnout. Speakers are usually announced three to four days before the event, and you’ll also start seeing featured participants appear as they register.

The context

You can also explore the list of past participants and speakers from each city to get a sense of who typically joins. It offers a glimpse into the kind of conversations, collaborations, and diversity that shape each meetup. Every event has its own purpose, shaped by its theme, setting, and the community that gathers around it.

The experience

Some people come to learn, others to connect, and many just to explore. While the agenda provides structure, the real energy often comes from the spontaneous conversations and shared curiosity in the room. These events are open to a broad mix of people including students, professionals, early-stage founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs. If you are specifically looking to meet only growth-stage or highly targeted founders, this may not be the right format for you. In that case, you might explore scale up dinners and socials for growth stage founders and operators.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"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."
