Founders and operators from Qapita, Bandit Network, and AI Palette joined the eChai Bangalore edition at Draper Startup House for a lively conversation on scaling startups and sustaining momentum

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.
