Not Just March 8th: How eChai Women Founders Showed Up in April in Mumbai

Wasn’t 8th March International Women’s Day? Then what made 12th April 2025 so special?

Because at eChai Ventures 's Women’s Day meetup, we celebrated women beyond just a date on the calendar.

From 18-year-old dreamers to seasoned professionals, from those just starting out to industry experts — it was a space where stories collided, inspiration flowed, and connections sparked.

It was empowering to be among women redefining what it means to lead — whether it’s teaching bike riding or safeguarding businesses through cybersecurity. The spectrum of energy, strength, and ambition was nothing short of powerful.

Key takeaways that echoed throughout the room:

1. You don’t need to find the road not taken — create one, and show the world why it wasn’t taken yet.

2. Show up — even when you're not sure where it’s leading. That’s how journeys begin.

3. A Convo we had during the meetup that how #womeninmaledominatedfields was once a trend on Instagram but now?

- It isn't just a trend, it's the reality.
- We're surrounded with women in entrepreneurship, a field assumed to be male dominated in itself.

Here’s to the women who are building, leading, and rewriting the rules — one bold step at a time.

Special thanks to Jatin Chaudhary for this initiative!

Let’s continue building this tribe of fearless women. Connect. Collaborate. Create.
