"Launching a business is tough. Getting traction is tougher. Growing a business is toughest."

When I met some of the entrepreneurship students last week at the privilege to meet curious students of entrepreneurship at the prestigious Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDI India), I realized majority of family businesses are stuck at a fulcrum and finding it tough to achieve massive scale. 

The topic was 'Startup Growth Conversations', steered by flag bearers of 
#entrepreneurship in India - eChai Ventures and EDII Ahmedabad. Achieving hypergrowth is a challenge I'm glad we at MeDigit Advertising Private Limited excel in doing so. Loved interacting with students to understand their growth challenges.

Panel:
Hardik Manwani from Mind Alcove
Paresh Mayani from SolGuruz®
Vaibhav Shitole from IOTA DIAGNOSTIC
and moderated by Koumal Kalantry from Ankk Cares.

Thanks, Jatin Chaudhary for putting together an impeccable panel. Awesome hospitality, Dr. Kirtika Chhetia & CrAdLE - Centre for Advancing and Launching Enterprises.



The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."

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

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”
