Got a chance to host an insightful webinar of eChai Ventures , thanks to Malav Warke and Jatin Chaudhary

Last Sunday, hosted a webinar on the psychology of colours for brands by Sarvinder Singh and wow, my mind is blown! 🎨

Let me share some fascinating insights:

Fanta's orange isn't just random - it's designed to make you feel fun and peppy! And that YouTube red? It's actually triggering that "just one more video" feeling we all know too well.

Here's what blew my mind: those pink and purple colors you see everywhere in apps? They're fire elements that keep us scrolling (now I know why I can't put my phone down! 😅).

Next time you're ordering food on Zomato, notice how their colors make you feel. And ever wondered why so many growth-focused brands use green? It's all about that progress and development mindset!

These little color choices are shaping our daily digital experiences more than we realize. Pretty fascinating stuff, right?

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve 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, we’ve 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 — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"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."
