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