The "Friends of eChai Startup Social" event, held on January 6, 2024, was an exclusive gathering for startup enthusiasts, featuring a small group setting for candid conversations.
The event, hosted by Shalin Parikh and Leena Parikh from Entigrity, brought together founders and leaders from various startups and organizations.
The agenda focused on fostering connections and sharing insights within the entrepreneurial community. Key participants included Kumar Manish (Urban Voices), Syed Nadeem Jafri (Hearty Mart), Pankaj Bhimani (58miles), Ekta Shah (Biziverse), Manasvi Thapar (Candour Legal) and others, representing diverse sectors such as healthcare, legal services, and technology. The event was part of eChai's ongoing efforts to enhance collaboration and learning in the startup ecosystem.
The #eChai social at Entigrity was a memorable get together of diversified entrepreneurs.
Graciously hosted by Shalin & Leena, it created an atmosphere which made us mingle with everyone present to discuss what we are doing in present and what we plan to do in future.
Looking forward to many more such socials to enhance my social capital!
When entrepreneurs interact with each other in a relaxed atmosphere, without any agenda, the density, richness, and variety of insights exchanged increase significantly.
eChai enables such conversations very effectively with their Social events - where entrepreneurs get to be more open and vulnerable as well as very helpful and encouraging!
The enchanting view from the terrace of Entigrity was a lovely cherry on the cake, of course!
The eChai Startup Social was a brilliant platform for exchanging innovative ideas. It's exciting to see how events like this can drive forward-thinking in the startup ecosystem, particularly for businesses like 58Miles.com that thrive on creativity and innovation.
The eChai Social is a unique platform where entrepreneurs have interesting and inspiring conversations with like minded people. Truly an engaging experience.
The eChai Startup Social provided an exceptional opportunity for meaningful dialogue and networking. For a legal professional like myself, engaging with innovative entrepreneurs opens new perspectives on how legal services can better support the startup ecosystem.
Every encounter with fellow founders and ecosystem leaders at eChai events is a refreshing plunge into a sea of innovation, where each wave brings a new perspective.
These socials are not just meetings, but a confluence of ideas that rejuvenate and inspire.
I always look forward to eChai gatherings, knowing they'll leave me enriched with fresh insights and energized by the collective spirit of entrepreneurship.
Thank you Shalin bhai & Leena Bhabhi for hosting eChai Social at Entigrity.

"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."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
