One’s biggest highs often come from old visions and manifestations becoming true, from winning over those corners of the memory where they aspired to achieve something or see themselves as someone.
My biggest high as an entrepreneur comes from some of the very bold decisions made in past and the present impact that we keep creating on our clients.
Landing clients like Paytm, Teapost, The Laundry company, Godrej working for their IP while creating products which are extremely innovative in their own space is one of the recent highs for us.
The impact that happens to entrepreneurs because of the products that we create is another high, seeing others succeed because of our contribution to their product is a major motivation for all of us in the team.
Solving problems through engineering and technology even for large companies that are equipped enough for themselves gives us our high moment all times.
It is the name that travels across states and countries for people to come and ask for us to assist them in building products,
The Trust they have put on us for so long,
The ability to solve the most complex issues through engineering that becomes a reason for us to keep moving and soaring high.
While all of this is a professional high, the ability to be with any of my family and friends at any given point of time, to choose to spend my time accordingly, to expand my abilities to learn more & help budding entrepreneurs in building their business, ability to open business at newer markets is the personal high for me.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."
Mehul Shah
Co-Founder at Counselvise & Ivy Growth
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
Jaydip Parikh
Chief Everything Officer at Tej SolPro
“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
