Want to help launch eChai Varanasi?

eChai does not run a chapter in Varanasi. If you are a founder or community builder who wants to convene the first free, open eChai meetup here, get in touch. E-Cell at IIT (BHU) and the grassroots Varanasi Startups community are the natural partners for a launch, and eChai Lucknow is the nearest chapter to look at. No membership, no fee.
