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.

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.
