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."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."
