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
"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."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

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."
