...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.

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.
Venue: House of Starts Sindhu Bhavan Road, First floor, BLOCK-D, satyam corporate square, Bodakdev, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380059.
Date & Time: May 29th, Friday. 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm.

Agenda:
AI Night is co-hosted by eChai Ventures and Upsquare, as part of AI Actions Lab.
It is 9:30 in the night. Most of the city has wound down for the day, and a few founders and startup folks in Ahmedabad are just getting started. They walk in with laptops, with ideas they have not shown anyone yet, with the energy that only really comes out after work hours. This is AI Night, and it runs till 1:30 am.
We made it late on purpose. The good conversations in our community rarely happen on a schedule. They happen after the panels are over, when someone says here is what I am actually working on, and the next three hours go somewhere you did not plan. AI Night is built around that. Founders, startup folks, and anyone who is into AI, together for the whole night. You do not have to be building something to belong here. Being curious about where this is going is enough.
The night moves in three parts.
First, the AI Debate. We put the questions everyone is already arguing about on the table and let people take sides. Open source against closed. Agents against workflows. How far this generation of models actually goes, and how much of the noise is real. It gets sharp, it gets fun, and people walk away thinking differently than when they came in.
Then the AI Demos. This is where people show what they have been building. The product someone has been shipping, the side project that got out of hand, the agent put together over a weekend, the workflow that saves a team hours every day. Half-built is welcome. This is the crowd that understands what you are trying to do and will give you an honest reaction.
And once it crosses midnight, music jamming. By then nobody is in a hurry to leave, and a guitar and a few voices is a good way to close out a night like this.
So come for the part you love and stay for the rest. Bring something to demo if you have it, bring your takes for the debate, and bring yourself for the music. We will see you at Friday 9:30 pm.
Venue: House of Starts Sindhu Bhavan Road, First floor, BLOCK-D, satyam corporate square, Bodakdev, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380059.
Date & Time: May 29th, Friday. 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm.
