The eChai Effect - In Their Words
âYou donât plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up ⌠and one day, you realize you did.â Iâve 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, weâve 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 â our venture builder â eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isnât just a startup network. Itâs a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"If thereâs one phrase that sums up my journey, itâs truly âThe eChai Effect.â Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey startedâand keeps evolvingâbecause of eChai. Redicine Medsolâs story is integrally linked to this community. Iâve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

âeChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasnât looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.â
