Yesterday, I attended the Ahmedabad Startup Summit hosted by eChai Ventures
It was a privilege to attend the event as various entrepreneurs shared their startup journeys and wisdom.
I want to thank Jatin Chaudhary for organizing this event and hosting the best entrepreneurs in the town.
Additionally, I enjoyed listening to my friend Pratik Patel entrepreneurial journey,
that has always inspired someone like me who respects taking risks and taking huge leaps.
His story is also inspiring for brands and companies struggling to launch public offerings.
Pratik Patel has been planning to launch an IPO for his brand ever since 2016 but has encountered many challenges on the way.
Now, after eight years (2023), he has finally reached the stage.
The challenges and journey he shared are commendable and I wish him all the best for his new adventure.
It takes perseverance, risk-taking ability, and constant work to be an entrepreneur,
And I greatly respect the entrepreneurial journeys shared at the Ahmedabad Startup Summit.
What are some of the qualities you admire most in entrepreneurs?

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’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.”
