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 has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
Harsha Bhurani
Founder, HummingBird Consulting Group
"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
