"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"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."

โI have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, Iโve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - Iโve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. Itโs a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldnโt have been possible without eChai.โ
