Last week, I had the privilege of moderating a fireside chat with Aakash Gupta, a celebrated leader in product management, at an event hosted by Product Tank Mumbai and eChai Ventures 🌟

Aakash, the mind behind Product Growth, one of the world’s largest product management newsletters, shared invaluable insights on navigating the evolving landscape of product management. 🚀

The event brought together over 120 passionate product management enthusiasts from Mumbai, creating a vibrant space for learning, networking, and exchanging ideas.

The energy in the room was electric, and the discussions showcased the incredible talent and potential within the Mumbai product community.

It was an honor to contribute to this gathering, and I’m grateful to have had the chance to interact with such a diverse and motivated audience.

Here’s to fostering more such conversations that shape the future of product innovation in Mumbai!

The event was co-hosted by eChai Ventures in partnership with Netcore Cloud.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"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."
