The meetup is designed to create a relaxed setting for candid discussions around startups, business, technology, growth, and life. Special guests from the startup ecosystem will join the trek, followed by open networking where attendees can connect, share ideas, learn from each other's journeys, and build new relationships.
Unlike traditional conference rooms and event spaces, the eChai Startup Trekking Meetup creates opportunities for authentic conversations while exploring one of Pune's favourite morning trekking spots. Whether you're building a startup, planning one, or simply curious about entrepreneurship, this is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people from the community.
Start your Sunday morning with fresh air, great conversations, and new connections from Pune's startup community.
This meetup is free and open to all.
