"Aapno Rajasthan, aapno Startup!" πŸ’™

As a proud Rajasthani, I've always cherished the opportunity to visit my home state (though I have become half Gujarati now!), and this time is extra special - I'm beyond excited to announce that our upcoming Startup Meetup in Jaipur has received an overwhelming response with 400+ registrations!

Growing up in cities like Pali, Jodhpur, Kota, and Jaipur, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible talent and entrepreneurial spirit that thrives here. It's an honor to be able to contribute to this vibrant startup ecosystem, again and again!

While the whole objective of this meetup is to meet and interact with entrepreneurs from in and around Jaipur, we also have a super exciting set of Speakers who will be sharing their insights on how to leverage local resources for early-stage growth! Thank you Dr. Sheenu Jhawar, President TiE Rajasthan, Dr. Abhishek Pareek, CEO AIC Banasthali Vidyapith , Pranay Mathur, CEO Realtime (RTAF), Onkar Bagaria, CEO, Vivekananda Global University and Dipan Sahu, Asst. Innovation Director, Ministry of Education's Innovation Cell - MIC and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) for accepting our invitation to join the Panel Discussion.Β 

#Jaipur - Looking forward to connecting with innovative minds, brainstorming and exchanging ideas, networking, and unlocking endless possibilities. πŸ’‘

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai has been a game changer in my journey. It connected me with real people, real support and real opportunities. From building HMMBiz to launching Mindalcove, eChai has played a key role at every step. Grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in growing together."

β€œYou 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 β€” our venture builder β€” 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."

"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."
