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! πŸͺ”βœ¨

Co-hosted with eChai Ventures, we brought together one of the most vibrant and insightful panels β€” 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 β€” this panel had it all: hustle, heart and humor.

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

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

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."

"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."

β€œI 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.”
