Lines that gives me booster shots of motivation when I’m down:
1. Screw It, Let’s do it.
2. I think, therefore I’m.
3. Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
4. If your efforts are sincere, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve your GOAL.
Inspiring Personalities:
1. Steve Jobs: For his sheer disdain to the ways technology was used & perused during his times.
2. Bill Gates: For his breadth & depth of vision: After conquering everything in business, he set himself a target of making this world a better & a healthier place.
3. Elon Musk: Perfect example of a technocrat innovator & a hard-core businessman. Look what he is doing in Tesla Motors & SpaceX. Google him & you would be astounded by his range of futuristic projects.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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."
Hardik Manwani
CTO, Mind Alcove
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"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."
