Madhukar Sinha and Anand Lunia took us through some interesting insights on how India is evolving 🙌 and the trends coming up.
✅ With single kids and nuclear families in tier 1 cities, the spending of families have changed.
✅ Traditional Markets have matured to become specialised
✅ Online Retail started from Metro cities but #growth comes from Tier 2 & 3.
✅ Phygital Services coming up like Utsav App, where #technology is used to bridge the digital world with the physical world with the purpose of providing a unique interactive puja experience for the devotees. (Mentioned in Page 86)
"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
