TiE Delhi-NCR is set to host the second edition of its D2C Summit on February 25, bringing together over 200 founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders shaping India’s rapidly expanding direct-to-consumer landscape. The Summit arrives at a pivotal time as India’s D2C market crosses the $100 billion opportunity mark, driven by digital adoption, omnichannel expansion, and evolving consumer expectations.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, this year’s event will focus on strategic shifts transforming digital-first brands into scalable, omnichannel businesses. Leaders from organizations including Google, ONDC, Tracxn, Fireside Ventures, Snapdeal, InfoEdge Ventures, and TMRW will share insights into capital allocation, technology enablement, and sustainable growth frameworks.
Exclusive Founder-Investor Access and Capital Conversations
A key highlight of the Summit will be curated closed-door roundtables featuring 60 selected D2C founders, enabling direct engagement with early-stage investors and venture firms. The event will open with an exclusive Founders & Funders Breakfast, featuring investors from FAAD Ventures, Fluid VC, Sauce VC, and InfoEdge Ventures, designed to facilitate transparent capital conversations and early-stage funding opportunities.
These focused interactions reflect growing investor interest in India’s consumer brands, particularly those leveraging technology, strong distribution, and differentiated product positioning to build long-term value.
Founders and Investors to Share Scaling Playbooks
The Summit will feature keynote sessions, fireside chats, and panel discussions led by prominent founders and industry leaders. Experts including Harish Bijoor, Rohit Bansal of Titan Capital and Snapdeal, and Prashanth Aluru of TMRW will discuss India’s evolving consumer retail landscape and the next wave of D2C growth.
Founders from emerging and scaled brands such as Rage Coffee, Clovia, SleepyCat, and Power Gummies will share insights on omnichannel scaling, Gen Z engagement, and building culturally relevant brands.
Technology and Infrastructure to Power Next D2C Wave
Infrastructure enablers including Google, ONDC, NIXI, and Skye Air Mobility will highlight the role of AI, open commerce, logistics innovation, and digital infrastructure in accelerating brand growth. Sessions will also explore how Bharat-focused startups are unlocking new consumer markets through vernacular-first strategies and localized offerings.
