To celebrate the journey of these D2C brands, YS’s most anticipated property, Brands of New India, is all set to launch the first edition of its Mega Summit.

In its first edition, Brands of New India Mega Summit will serve as the forum to hear directly from the leaders, entrepreneurs, and pioneers who are leading the transformation in the D2C landscape of the country and paving the way for the future. Read more.
