As the co-founder of Brands.live, I recently had the incredible opportunity to present our app at the Echai Demo Day held at the prestigious MICA Institute as part of MICAVERSE.

It was an exhilarating experience to showcase how Brands.live empowers Indian small and medium businesses with innovative AI social media solutions.

A heartfelt thank you to Jatin Chaudhary of eChai Ventures for this amazing opportunity. Your platform continues to be a beacon for startups and innovators.

Special thanks to the dynamic duo, Udit Goenka and Pratik Patel from Yudiz Solutions for their insights and support. Your guidance is a cornerstone in our journey towards empowering businesses through technology.

To all the aspiring entrepreneurs out there, remember: every presentation, every meeting is a step closer to your dream. Let's keep innovating and growing together!

Exciting day was not completed without the another great session on Growth by eChai Ventures at IIMA Ventures with great panel with intense and deep conversation on business growth, startup hurdales, mindset for growth and lead generation. Jatin Chaudhary curated a great panel with Shani Pandya , @sumit from Curlin.Official (Backed by 100x.vc) Udit Goenka from FirstSales.io and @vikas mundhra from Magenta Insights.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“eChai 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.”

“You 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 — our venture builder — 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."

"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."
