In a recent startup survey, a majority of startups listed FundRaising as their biggest challenge. It's sure, many startups in our ecosystem would be going through the same.

This SS, we come together to discuss the most popular topic in the startup world: Fundraising.

Things to cover:

1) Is funding possible for all / any type of startup?

2) How easy is it to get an investor to write you a $1MM cheque? What does it really take?

3) Is life all good after we get funding?

And many more such questions. Hopefully, you also have a bunch of questions, that you can ask our speakers.

Our speakers are either folks that have to build solid companies and raised $1MM+ from investors or folks who have helped startup in growth and funding.

Speakers For The Event:

Tauseef Khan: CEO & Co-Founder Gramophone

Anirudh Garg: Co-Founder MaalGaadi

Amit Pamnani: Chief Investment Officer Rethinkers Accelerators

Date: 15th June

Time: 5 to 8 PM

Venue: Incuzspace, 6th Floor Princes' Business Skyline, Agra Bombay Rd, Vijay Nagar, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452011

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."

"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."

"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."
