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
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"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."
