I took a break from my usual grind to host a marketing event with eChai Ventures, and it reminded me why stepping out of your comfort zone can be so rewarding.
As the founder of Vinaayak Digital my days are packed with helping Businesses with their marketing and media needs.
But occasionally, I get to dive into something different – like hosting events. And let me tell you, I absolutely love it!
This particular event was special for me. I had the pleasure of engaging with two incredible founders Vedant Sarda & Mitesh L Thakker and a dynamic audience. The energy in the room was fantastic, and the discussions were both insightful and inspiring.
Hosting events allows me to step away from my daily tasks, connect with amazing people, and learn new things.
It’s a refreshing change and a great reminder that it’s essential to make time for things you enjoy, even when life gets busy.
This experience reinforced a valuable lesson: don’t be afraid to try new things and follow your passions. Balancing work with what you love can bring a lot of joy and fulfillment.
So, whether you’re deep into your professional life or exploring a new hobby, embrace those opportunities that make you happy. They can be incredibly rewarding.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"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."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."
