What a festive start to the week at Draper Startup House! 🪔✨

Co-hosted with eChai Ventures, we brought together one of the most vibrant and insightful panels — featuring:
🎤 Srikanth Prabhu – Qapita
🎤 Tony K. – Co-Founder, Bandit Network
🎤 Himanshu Upreti – Ai Palette

Three founders. Three very different journeys. One powerful conversation. ⚡

From Srikanth balancing his Qapita role while building two buzzing communities, to Tony landing his 5-year visa and showing up in full-on Diwali vibes outfit, to Himanshu sharing about AI Palette’s big acquisition by GlobalData Plc — this panel had it all: hustle, heart and humor.

Truly loved moderating this one — and soaking in all that entrepreneurial energy.
If this is how we kicked off Diwali week imagine what’s coming next! 🔥

Stay tuned (and drop by Draper!) for more conversations that spark ideas, connections and maybe a little chaos too.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“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.”

"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."

"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."
