The direct-to-consumer (D2C) market in India has witnessed exponential growth, driven by factors such as a younger demographic looking to try new brands, widespread adoption of online payments and ecommerce, and a strong support from venture capitalists. This market is set to be worth $100 billion by 2025, a nearly three-fold growth from $33 billion in 2022.
The D2C market has also incubated a new wave of young startups and founders who have gone on to build multi-million dollar empires. And many are on the cusp of setting up new ones. A striking feature of India’s D2C industry is its diversity spanning fashion, food, healthcare, sustainable mobility, and more, catering to almost all aspects of life.
As the D2C saga unfolds, it is time to acknowledge the champions of this fast-evolving industry.
BharatX, a new age fintech firm, and Entrackr, the leading startup in the technology media business, are hosting D2C Yatra: an exclusive, invite-only event on August 11, 2023 dedicated to the D2C fraternity. Powered by IDFC First Bank, the event will be attended by some of the most prominent people from the industry along with over 200 D2C startups.
D2C Yatra is supported by payment gateway CCAvenue.
D2C Yatra is planned with an intent to help companies in the space with best resources and partners. This is the first edition of D2C Yatra which will also shortlist top 10 emerging D2C companies in the NCR region.
The daylong event will see participation from marquee D2C companies, including founders, investors, and enablers. The objective is to acknowledge the efforts of various stakeholders, identify future stars, and facilitate productive discussions between founders, investors, and other key stakeholders.
Scheduled to take place at The Leela, Gurugram, the daylong event will feature a range of activities, from workshops, panel discussions and keynote addresses, to fireside conversations, and networking opportunities.
