At Explorex, we’re reimagining how India dines.
We’ve built Elite – India’s first self-checkout and dining experience app – that lets diners skip the wait for bills, see live table availability, browse live menus, and unlock tiered discounts that encourage more discovery and higher spends.
Behind the scenes, Bridge OS – our proprietary restaurant operating system – powers everything from POS to payments, guest data, inventory, and insights. This deep integration makes Explorex not just another software, but the backbone of a restaurant’s in-dining business.
Our mission is simple yet bold:
To revolutionize the $100B+ in-dining market by creating a seamless, delightful experience for diners while unlocking higher revenue and operational efficiency for restaurants.
Today, Explorex is helping restaurants thrive while shaping a new culture of dining where convenience, transparency, and guest experience come first.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
