What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - itโ€™s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, Iโ€™ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

โ€œeChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasnโ€™t 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.โ€
