Had an amazing experience at the IMC in Delhi! The energy, ideas, and interactions throughout the event were incredible.

It’s absolutely great to join a major convention like this. There was a large crowd of over 3,000 people spread over 2 acres of pavilion space. It’s exciting yet challenging as a solo entrepreneur to cover everything authentically. I find myself excited and constantly on the lookout for something new.
