D2C Founder's Mixer (Mumbai)

This is a curated, small-format networking meetup designed specifically for founders and senior leaders building consumer-facing businesses—across D2C, ecommerce, F&B, CPG, FMCG, fashion, apparel, and retail.

With only 30 seats, the mixer is intentionally kept intimate to allow focused, high-quality conversations around real challenges such as customer acquisition, distribution, supply chain, brand building, unit economics, scaling offline and online channels, and fundraising for consumer brands.

This is not a mass networking event or a pitch-heavy meetup. It’s a carefully curated space for founders who value meaningful conversations over surface-level exchanges.

This is a ticketed event (₹700). Registrations are reviewed, and only approved profiles will receive venue and payment details.

• Meet the right people, not more people
  Every attendee is screened so you spend time with peers who understand consumer businesses—not generic crowds.
• Conversations that help you think clearly
  Discuss real issues around growth, margins, channels, hiring, branding, and scale with people who’ve been there.
• Collaboration opportunities
  Many attendees find partners, advisors, early collaborators, or simply people to think through problems with.
• A strong peer network beyond the event
  Approved attendees get access to a private post-event community of 70+ validated founders and leaders for ongoing interaction.
• Efficient and practical
  Designed to respect your time and budget—focused, structured, and outcome-oriented.

Most networking events focus on headcount. This one focuses on outcomes.

• Limited to 30 attendees for depth and comfort
• Pre-screened profiles only — founders and senior leaders
• No selling, no pitching, no promotions
• Guided introductions and light icebreakers to avoid awkward starts
• Enough time to talk, not rush

The intent is simple: You should leave with 5–7 meaningful connections, clarity, and conversations worth continuing.

• Only 30 seats are available.
• If your profile does not meet the criteria, venue and payment details will not be shared and the registration will be considered cancelled.
• If we need clarification on your registration details, our team will reach out. If queries are not addressed within the given timeframe, the registration may be cancelled.
• The location shown publicly is indicative to help with travel planning. Exact venue details are shared only with approved attendees.
