The eChai Effect - In Their Words
โYou donโt plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up โฆ and one day, you realize you did.โ Iโve 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, weโve 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 โ our venture builder โ eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isnโt just a startup network. Itโs a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work.ย As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction.ย Over the years, it became my window to the startup world โ and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - itโs one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, Iโve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
