Yesterday, I attended eChai Ventures event at Venture Studio on Building Food Brands: Insights from Top Founders and Operators: Hosted by Jatin Chaudhary , Speakers at the event were: Mr. Sai Sumanth (Radhika’s), Sahil Shah (Hungrito), and Dharmarajsinh Zala (UFC), who shared their invaluable experiences in the food industry.

Sai offered a fascinating glimpse into the operational challenges and opportunities in the food industry and in navigating online platforms. Sahil Shah impressed us with his innovative marketing strategies used for Hungrito, showcasing how creativity can connect brands with their audience.

The event provided actionable insights into building a food brand, from effectively leveraging online platforms to mastering seasonal marketing and creating impactful audience engagement through creative campaigns.

A heartfelt thank you to Sai, Sahil, Dharmarajsinh, and the eChai community for such an inspiring and enriching session!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"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."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"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."
