Ahmedabad’s Startup Scene Just Got a Cricket Championship

Every Thursday evening in Ahmedabad, pitches will be judged not by investors - but by umpires.

The eChai Startup Cricket Championship kicks off this Thursday, April 17th, bringing together founders, operators, and community builders for something far more grounded: actual tennis ball ground cricket.

The format is simple and serious.

8 teams. 2 groups. Each team plays 3 league matches.
The top 4 teams from a combined points table make it to the semifinals - culminating in a final showdown on May 29th.

All matches will be 12 overs, fast-paced and founder-fueled.

What makes this league different?

Every player is from the startup ecosystem. No outside sign-ups. Team owners will draft from a curated pool of eChai members - those who build, scale, and now… play.

More than just a game, this league is a reflection of how communities grow stronger - not just through meetups and mixers, but by showing up, playing hard, and building relationships that go beyond work.

Game on.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

“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.”
