eChai Startup Demo Day Delhi-NCR — Free Monthly Pitch Event

eChai Startup Demo Day is a pitch and networking meetup that runs in Noida for the Delhi-NCR startup crowd. It is organised by the eChai Delhi-NCR Startup Network and repeats every month, which means founders who are still in the early stages of building have a regular, low-pressure stage to show what they have put together.

Every edition is a single-day session lasting two hours. Startups present their venture in a demo format, take questions from the room, and then spend the remaining time networking. The line-up shifts from month to month, so the number of startups that get to present is never fixed.

There is no prize money attached to the event. What participants walk away with is visibility inside the local ecosystem, candid feedback, and connections with other founders, mentors and ecosystem members across the region.

Taking part costs nothing. Registration happens through the event's Eventbrite page, and the deadline currently listed for the next cycle is 25 July 2026.

• Free to register — there is no participation fee for founders or teams.
• Next listed deadline: 25 July 2026.
• Held in Noida and open to early-stage founders across Delhi-NCR.
• Runs as a 2-hour, single-day demo, Q&A and networking session.
• No cash prize and no equity taken — the value is exposure, feedback and contacts.
• Organised on a monthly cycle by the eChai Delhi-NCR Startup Network.

The demo day is meant for early-stage founders and startup teams based in the Delhi-NCR region — Noida, where the session is held, sits inside that region.

• Stage: you should be actively building. Nothing stricter than "early-stage" is stated.
• Team size: no minimum or maximum number of members is mentioned.
• Sector: no industry restriction is listed, so the event is not limited to a particular vertical.
• Location: Delhi-NCR.
• Entity type and registrations: no company structure, DPIIT recognition or MSME registration is listed as a requirement.

Since the format is a live demo, your team should be ready to present a product or venture in front of an audience of founders and mentors.
