πŸš€ Inspired by the unwavering resilience of Indian founders and the boundless energy of Bangalore's startup ecosystem! πŸ’ͺ Exciting to witness engineers, designers, bankers, and innovators alike, all fueled by the dream of launching their own startups in yesterday's eChai Ventures Demo day and fireside chat hosted by Puneeth Suraana .

πŸ’‘ Ideation is at its peak much higher than 2007. Being a Startup Founder myself, I so much relate to the potential mistakes an emerging founder can avoid fundraising and pitching to VCs. I am grateful for the opportunity to connect, learn and exchange ideas with these fellow enthusiasts.

πŸŒ† Bangalore, a melting pot of talent and ambition, continues to be the heartbeat of India's startup revolution. Looking forward to continued collaboration and impact in the space through my learnings from Tinkerly and via platform of Warmup VenturesΒ 

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

β€œeChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
