Just back from 'Demo Day' organized by eChai Ventures.🎢
Picture this: it's like speed dating for entrepreneurs – you're not there to find a date, but to scout the future of your business!
The event was a blend of startups, businesses, and investors.
New ventures had their moment in the spotlight, sharing their visions and getting early feedback – minus the high-pressure environment of a judging panel.
Reflecting on the day, here's what stood out:
💡It was a fantastic opportunity for new startups to get valuable insights and possibly catch an investor’s eye.
đź’ˇFor seasoned entrepreneurs, it was a space rich in networking opportunities, where business cards were exchanged as eagerly as ideas.
đź’ˇThe inclusivity was notable: we had a spectrum of attendees from budding entrepreneurs to business experts.
This wasn't just about swapping greetings and LinkedIn profiles.
It was about creating meaningful connections that could steer your business towards exciting new horizons.
A huge shoutout to Nihal Ahamed M and Kirithiga Sundaramoorthy for organizing such an insightful event.
Can't wait for the next one!✨

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“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."

"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."

"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."
