Last Min Announcement! πŸ“’

It's eChai Startup Demo Day every last Saturday, but this month was a bit of a rollercoaster.

Normally, I'd be weeks ahead, sorting out the venue, locking down slots, and maybe even convincing someone cool to speak. But life happened, and I got swamped with my own stuff. πŸ˜…

Just when I thought, "Uh-oh, what now?

Enter Cynthia, our superhero! Just when things seemed dicey, she swooped in, offering not just a venue but also the bonus of bringing in some awesome investors 🀩

Golden ticket vibes, right? 🎟️

Now, we've got the venue locked, and the excitement is building! Oh, and if you're itching to pitch your startup, we've got 2 slots waiting for you!

If you're hearing about eChai Startup Demo Day for the first, here is the small heads up πŸ‘‡πŸ»Β

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

β€œYou don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts β€” our venture builder β€” eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"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."
