When Small, Unplanned Things Shaped Meaningful Moments at an eChai Bengaluru Founders Event
- by: Mansi Baheti
Last week’s eChai event was one of those rare, wholesome experiences where everything just comes together. Low effort, unplanned yet incredibly beautiful and festive ✨ These are the moments that truly feel worth it.
And it wasn’t just one or two things, it was actually few super cool, completely unplanned highlights that made the evening special.
First, we decided to bring in a panel to clarify all the common doubts founders have around compliance, accounting and legal. Even before the main event started, we hosted a free legal and compliance clinic for our in-house entrepreneurs. Huge shoutout to our partners at The Startup Zone. Sharath Shyamasunder and his team spent more than five hours patiently helping startups sharing expert opinions and answering questions non-stop. (If you’re looking for these services, we highly recommend Startup Zone). DM me and I’ll be happy to put you in touch.
Second, we tried a D2C pop-up stall by Jalsa Snacks. What began as simple sampling turned into actual sales. The audience absolutely loved it and we didn’t charge anything because this was purely about supporting an early-stage entrepreneur and helping bring something beautiful to life. If you’re building a D2C brand and want to put up a stall, DM us, we’ve got your back.
And my favorite part, the real rockstars are the ones who don’t wait for opportunities they seize them. Aditya Mittal from Christ University, Bangalore main campus stepped up and moderated the event. Total Draper material. We’re genuinely rooting for this new talent who is going to own this space 🚀
None of this would have happened without the support of Jatin Chaudhary and The Startup Zone. Grateful for partnerships that truly show up and make things happen.
Looking forward to many more imperfect but beautiful moments like this. Such a great way to end the year just kidding, we still have seven amazing days to go. Let’s end the year on a high note.
