...Agenda
Join us on March 13, Friday, 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.Key details
Venue: IKP EDEN, Bhuvanappa Layout, 16, Tavarekere Main Rd, Tavarekere, Kaveri Layout, S.G. Palya, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560029.

What does real product growth look like when you're building from the ground up?
Join us for an engaging eChai conversation with experienced founders and product leaders as they share honest stories and practical insights from scaling their products, across early bets, pivots, challenges, and growth breakthroughs.
This session goes beyond frameworks and dives into what actually works when you're short on time, resources, and clarity. You’ll hear how different teams approached product-market fit, prioritized features, learned from what didn’t work, and aligned their teams around real outcomes.
Whether you're a founder, product manager, or builder at heart, this meetup is a space to learn, connect, and leave with ideas you can apply right away. As always, come for the insights, stay for the conversations.

Agenda
How Founders & Operators Use AI is a gathering of builders who are actively working with the latest AI tools across coding, product, marketing, sales, and internal operations. The conversation centers on what tools people are trying, how they decide what to adopt, and how they stay current as things keep evolving.
Founders share the stack they rely on, what they have dropped, and what has genuinely improved speed or output. Operators walk through the workflows they use day to day, how they structure prompts, where automation fits in, and what still requires human judgment.
If you are experimenting with AI or already using it in your daily work, this is a space to compare notes, discover new tools, and learn how others are building practical workflows around AI.
