Still carrying the energy from an unforgettable 3-day D2C retreat where some of the brightest minds in the ecosystem came together. Imagine this: 60 of India’s biggest D2C founders, including leaders who’ve built $10B+ brands, all under one roof — openly exchanging ideas, challenges, and lessons. It wasn’t just another networking event. It felt like a real mastermind. • Conversations went deep into what it takes to build brands that last • Founders shared unfiltered stories about growth, scaling, and resilience • We brainstormed on everything from customer love to supply chain hacks to navigating global markets The best part? There was no hierarchy. Whether someone was building their first 100-cr brand or had already scaled to unicorn status, the generosity of knowledge and collaboration was the same. A huge thank you to Vaibhav Vardhan Pooja Sareen (Inc42 Founder), and Utkarsh Agarwal for curating this space where ambition meets authenticity. 🙌 For me and Rohan Gandotra it was a chance not only to learn but also to connect with founders who are rewriting the future of Indian brands. The relationships built here go beyond business — they’re about shared purpose and collective growth. If this retreat proved anything, it’s that India’s D2C story has only just begun, and the power of community will take it 10x further. 🚀 #founders #D2C #business #Community #Unicorn #chahattkhanna #Ammarzo #Startup #indianstartups Aman Gupta Ashutosh Valani Swati Bhargava Rohan Bhargava Sneh Sharma Sneh Jain Anuj Nevatia Ravi Saxena Umair Mohammed Vedang Patel Amar Preet Singh Prabhkiran Singh Siddharth DUNGARWAL @Shivamshahi
