More about Syed Nadeem Jafri

Syed Nadeem Jafri is the Founder & Chief mentor of Hearty Mart. With the vision of bringing convenience to the locality of Juhapura in Ahmedabad , Nadeem Jafri started his first venture ” Hearty Mart Super Market ” in February 2004. 

After undertaking a dipstick research amongst the residents of the area he developed and modeled it as an ideal neighbourhood store. It was positioned as ” Sabse Khas Ghar Ke Paas ” and he wanted to establish the store as a one-stop solution for the daily needs of groceries, cosmetics, food grains etc. 

Initial research of the area revealed that the residents were not ready to accept a new store as they had the mindset that no store can ever survive in an area which was not supposed to be business friendly. In order to counter this hostile mindset he came out with this unique brand name ” Hearty Mart “. 

Today it has become successful in breaking the mindset of the people here and has created many patrons for itself.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"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."
