Folks,ย
I just received some news that is as unexpected as finding an extra crumpled Rs 500 note in your dried shirt after washingโ I've been named a LinkedIn Top Voice! Yes, you read that right. No, I didn't hack the system, and no, it's not a paid thing yet! :)ย
First things first, a massive THANK YOU to everyone here. This recognition isn't just about my voice, but it's a testament to the incredible community we've built together. It's like being part of the world's most supportive book club, but instead of books, we share ideas, insights, and occasionally, bad jokes.
Unlike X, previously on twitter, I do post some sensible stuff here. But I will try to be more consistent as now I have a badge to take care of.ย
I must admit, being called a "Top Voice" feels a bit exaggerated. But here we are, and I'm incredibly humbled and slightly bewildered.
This platform has been a treasure trove of learning, and I'm not just talking about the professional insights. I've learned that no matter how carefully you craft a post, there will always be at least one typo that 95% of commenters kindly ignore. And that no matter how serious the topic, there's always room for a light-hearted comment & and criticism that puts a smile on everyone's face.
So, what's next? Well, I promise to keep bringing my authentic self here โ typos, opinions, and all. I'll continue to share, learn, and grow alongside each of you, and yes, I'll try to live up to this 'Top Voice' title without letting it go to my head ( yes, it happens).ย
Let's keep making this platform a space for genuine connection and growth. Let me repeat "genuine connection."ย

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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 - itโs one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, Iโve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

Founder, MyCPE One
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; itโs 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. Iโve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. เคธเคเคเคเฅเคเคงเฅเคตเค เคธเคเคตเคฆเคงเฅเคตเค โ Let us move together, speak together. Itโs not just a verse from the Rigveda โ itโs how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We donโt just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBirdโs journey โ even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, itโs been a constant source of support.ย It connected me with incredible people whoโve 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 โ both personally and professionally โ in ways that are hard to articulate.ย Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. Iโm deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
