An exclusive 3-day invite-only Retreat

The D2C Retreat by Inc42 returns for its second edition — a rare space where India’s top D2C founders come together to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what truly matters.

What began as a bold new format for meaningful connection now continues as a growing tradition — one that values trust over transaction, depth over scale, and clarity over chaos.

Set against the serene backdrop of The Oberoi Sukhvilas in Chandigarh, this 3-day, invite-only residential retreat is designed to spark honest conversations, lasting relationships, and fresh perspective. No stages. No spotlights. Just a curated circle of founders navigating similar journeys.

Through closed-door dialogues and intimate breakouts with hard-to-access experts, the retreat explores the questions that shape every founder’s next chapter — from IPO readiness and fundraising to leadership, wealth, and legacy.


What to expect at the retreat?

The D2C Retreat by Inc42 is an invite-only, premium residential unconference, bringing together India's leading D2C and Retail Brand Founders to find their tribe – a trusted group of fellow pioneers to foster professional, personal, and collective growth.
