Shani Pandya: Yesterday marked one of my first public appearances as a Co-Founder

Yesterday marked one of my first public appearances as a Co-Founder of AirX Innovations at the eChai Ventures event hosted at GUSEC (Gujarat University Startup and Entrepreneurship Council).

Sharing my journey as an entrepreneur and introducing AirX Innovations to the audience was an exhilarating experience. We are passionately committed to delivering clean air solutions, and it was incredible to see the spark in the eyes of the audience as we unveiled a pre-trailer of our product at end of the event. Their positive feedback and enthusiasm reaffirmed our mission to disrupt the market in both the D2C and B2B segments.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we gear up to launch our website soon! In the meantime, follow our journey and connect with us on social media:

Together, let’s breathe clean air and innovate for a sustainable future!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve 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 — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."
