Want to help launch eChai Puducherry?
eChai has no chapter in Puducherry and has never run an event here. The nearest active one is eChai Chennai, about 150 km up the coast. If you are a founder, an Auroville social entrepreneur or a community builder who wants to convene the first free, open meetup in Puducherry, get in touch.
