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. ΰ€Έΰ€‚ΰ€—ΰ€šΰ₯ΰ€›ΰ€§ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€‚ ΰ€Έΰ€‚ΰ€΅ΰ€¦ΰ€§ΰ₯ΰ€΅ΰ€‚ – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda β€” 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.
