...Agenda
Join us on April 23, Thursday, for an open, casual meetup of founders and startup folks in Bengaluru.
The eChai Startup Social is a simple idea. You show up and spend time with people building companies, exploring ideas, investing, or finding their way in the startup world. Just real conversations in a relaxed setting, and you take away whatever the conversations give you.
You may meet early-stage founders, operators, team members, or someone on a similar journey. Every city brings its own mix, and every gathering finds its own rhythm.
What makes this special is the shared feeling it creates. Small groups of founders come together for honest, unstructured conversations that stay with them long after.
It’s a quiet reminder that wherever you are, you’re not building alone.
Come by. Say hello. See what happens.
If you want it even more stripped-down or more conversational, say the word.

...
Agenda
eChai Demo Days happen every month and are designed as an open house for founders who are actively building product startups.
We usually start with quick introductions so everyone present knows who’s around, and after that the host invites founders from the audience to come up on stage, one at a time, to talk about what they are working on. Founders share their product or venture with their website or live product open on the screen, and explain what they are building in their own words.
Typically, each founder gets a few minutes to walk everyone through their product, followed by some time for questions and feedback from the group. The host decides how much time each founder gets, depending on how many people are sharing and how the conversation is flowing.
If you are actively building a product startup and would like to share what you are working on, you can reach out to jatin@eChai.Ventures. In most cases, founders who are actively building do get a chance to come up and share in this open house format.
eChai Startup Demo Days are meant to be relaxed and open, where founders learn in public, get early feedback, and leave with new ideas, connections, and clarity from the community.
