"Natillu evedya?" – Where are you from?
In Kerala, this is more than just a question; it’s a way of greeting, an instant bridge between people.
This week was particularly special for us, as we had the pleasure of hosting a wonderful mother-son duo from Kannur, who recently moved to Bangalore. The mother, Hafsa MTP founder of Hafz Products, is deeply passionate about community health and wellness, while her son, Sijhah Sadique, co-founder of Atom & Echo, is driving their vision forward in the startup space. They joined us at Draper Startup House for a startup event, and by the end of it, they weren’t just participants—they won the best pitch among five incredible startups! 🎉
This is why we do what we do. A big thank you to eChai Ventures and Draper Startup House for allowing me to moderate this event and giving entrepreneurs the platform to showcase their ideas and build meaningful, valuable connections.

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
"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."
Viraj Rajani
Co-Founder, Digipple
"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."
