And the most promising D2C start-up of the year award goes to…
BabyOrgano | India's First Dedicated Ayurvedic Baby Care Health and Wellness Brand.
I'm still excited about the amazing event put together by eChai Ventures and DevX.
It was filled with energy, and I was surrounded by a group of amazing entrepreneurs determined to create an impact.
The best part of the evening? Definitely get to talk with experienced entrepreneurs, especially Udit Goenka.
Our casual chat turned into a valuable lesson on effective marketing and the important details of running a successful business.
The event wasn't just about listening and learning – it was hands-on.
We played interesting games that were not only fun but also gave practical insights into solving problems creatively.
The pitch sessions taught us a lot about how to communicate effectively, and each entrepreneur had something special to share.
What really stood out was the lively and collaborative atmosphere.
It wasn't just about individual success stories; it was about creating a supportive community where ideas flowed freely.
It felt like a big brainstorming session, and I left with new perspectives on building a brand and being an entrepreneur.
Once again, big thanks to Jatin and the eChai Ventures team for making this happen!
Also, a shout-out to Umesh Uttamchandani and the DevX team for providing such a fantastic venue.
They did a great job recognizing the efforts of startups and showed a real passion for creating a supportive environment for new businesses.
The event was a boost for growth, a mix of ideas, and a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit.
I'm grateful for the experience and can't wait to use what I've learned in my own entrepreneurial journey!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

“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."

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
