The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBirdโs journey โ even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, itโs been a constant source of support.ย It connected me with incredible people whoโve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth โ both personally and professionally โ in ways that are hard to articulate.ย Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. Iโm deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

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."

"eChai isnโt just a startup community โฆ itโs a mindset .ย eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. Itโs been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. Iโve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here โ people who genuinely want to see you succeed.ย Itโs a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. Iโll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders donโt just grow businesses โ they grow together."
