āYou donāt plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up ā¦ and one day, you realize you did.ā Iāve 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, weāve 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 ā our venture builder ā eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isnāt just a startup network. Itās a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"If thereās one phrase that sums up my journey, itās truly āThe eChai Effect.ā Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey startedāand keeps evolvingābecause of eChai. Redicine Medsolās story is integrally linked to this community. Iāve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."
