Says Vasundhara Dubey, Business Analyst from Swan Angel Network, “ We got to connect with the emerging stars in the Startups Ecosystem. Each of these players have different visions, different dreams, however, what binds them is the Passion into Execution. It was amazing to hear them out! One of the most interesting thing that has happened is that none of the startups want to be funded.. this is totally new and also good! We really want the startups to bootstrap and test for themselves first. Of course we hope to fund some of the interesting startups too!.”

The insightful responses of ChaiKappi team for the queries posed by the entrepreneurs during chai time got everybody into the mood for more chai! .
