Continuing with the momentum set by the Brands of New India Mega Summit earlier this year, YourStory’s Brands of New India (BONI) is all set to take its commitment of fostering the country’s D2C landscape forward through Brand Residency 2022.
To be held from September 9-10, 2022 at New Delhi, the two-day hybrid event will bring together the biggest brands and the most influential and successful brand builders, and will give a peak into what goes behind building a successful brand.
With ‘Celebrating brands and their builders’ as its theme, the event will see established as well as many emerging, high-potential brands, ecosystem enablers and influencers discussing and exchanging ideas on critical social, cultural, environmental, and business trends that define today’s retail market.
Additionally, the event will also be a thriving ground for one-on-one informal meetings, cool product launches, engaging workshops, that will give attendees and audiences an opportunity to understand the nuances of building a brand amidst the country’s D2C rush.
Brands of New India
India, as per a recent KPMG report, is one of the largest global retail destinations with a market size poised to cross $1.7 trillion by 2025; and the D2C channels are expected to be worth over $100 billion by 2025. The ‘Brands of New India’ property is working relentlessly to power this growth and enable the ecosystem at large.
Brand Residency is a part of YourStory’s ‘Brands of New India’ that was unveiled in September 2021. Since its inception, the property has undertaken multiple initiatives such as bringing together various stakeholders from the D2C ecosystem through the Brands of New India Mega Summit; showcasing high-potential emerging D2C brands under its 500 Challenger Brands initiative; creating the BONI circle, one of the largest communities of D2C founders and other key stakeholders by conducting city-wise meet-ups; and giving a platform to brands from tier II and III cities to come forward and share their journey and challenges through D2C Carwaan. Additionally, BONI is also conducting organised investor connects, closed-room learning sessions, and more.
Through these multiple initiatives, engagements and events, the property aims to help India create a line-up of 500-strong D2C brands over the next coming years.
