T5 Cricket - Cricket League for Startup Folks

T5 Cricket League is an initiative by the eChai Ventures team to bring together startup folks over cricket leagues. 

T5 Cricket is certainly not the new format of Cricket.

Gully cricket has been a massive phenomenon in India and folks have been playing a similar format for ages. 

The founders of eChai Ventures met while playing cricket during engineering days. Cricket has been an integral part of the eChai Story. 

We've been playing box cricket with startup folks for many years. And recently we've started building Startup Sports Network to bring startup folks together over sports. We've added many sports formats and started many city chapters also. 

T5 Cricket League


T5 Cricket League will have company-owned teams or teams consisting of individual startup folks.

The typical format of T5 Cricket Leauge match will look like this:

- 5 overs per innings

- 5 Players per team.

- 1 Power Surge over per innings

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
