Eureka moment

Our eureka moment was when we realized the incredible demand for our educational kits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, we were developing curriculum and learning kits for our own preschool, Canopus.

However, as other parents started approaching us for the same kits to support their children's at-home learning needs, we saw a unique opportunity.

It became clear that there was a pressing need in the market for high-quality early learning resources that parents could use at home. This realization inspired us to professionalize our efforts and launch LEARNKIN , a venture dedicated to providing these educational kits to parents and meeting the growing demand.

Learnkin was born out of this transformative moment, allowing us to cater to a broader audience and make a positive impact on early childhood education.

And then in 2022, when 2 other schools approached us for using learnkin in their pre-primary section it was again a eureka moment when we understood that oh yes, the schools and pre-schools were also in the need of the such creative material.

Business model

So currently major sales come from Instagram, influencer marketing and B2B through schools, but we are trying to expand ourselves in digital marketing arena and market places.

Traction

So currently learnkin has reached almost 3000+ families pan India in the past 3 years and also in countries like, Hong Kong ,Tokyo,Dubai,Canada,USA and UK etc. It has also been awarded as best Learning Kit in INDIA by TIMES group.

It has also received National education Excellence award for its unique curriculum.

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."

“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."

"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."
