Had an amazing time at eChai yesterday and came back with some gems that I just have to share. This place really shows that the more you share, the more you get back.
Here's what stuck with me:
1. *Go with Your Gut Feeling*:
Bhavesh Patel
from Brands.Live dropped this truth bomb - if you feel something's not gonna work, trust that feeling. Trying to push it when your gut says no? That's a no-go. It's all about trusting that inner voice.
2. *Asking Questions the Right Way*:
Sushil Agrawal
, the brain behind Saarthi Pedagogy, shared a killer approach:
- Are you even asking the right question?
- Are you asking the right question to the right person?
- And are you asking the right question to the right person at the right time?
Getting this right can really change the game.
These bits of advice are gold, making you rethink how you tackle things in your own journey.
eChai isn't just about giving; it's a place where you gain loads, especially in ways you didn't expect.

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
