When AI Met IRL: eChai AI Day in Bengaluru

When AI Met IRL: eChai AI Day in Bengaluru
Thank you for joining us at the eChai Ventures AI Day at Urban Vault HSR!

We gathered. We discussed. We fuelled our minds with food for thought - what will the differentiator be when AI brings parity to ship out faster, how do you garner trust, do we need to worry about something here, and more.

We unpacked stories of the startups we are building and how AI can be leveraged to save time and increase efficiency among other things.

We fielded questions from curious minds on quantum computing and beyond!

Thank you for taking out the time on a Saturday evening to be with us and collectively experience the joy of gathering IRL! Signing off with Kuldeep Meel, Mehul Jain, Rabi Shanker Guha, Vijaypal Singh and an audience that believed in authentic interaction!

TAG someone who's building in the AI space and we'd love to have them for our future gatherings :)

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

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.”

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
