What is Startup Brands?


We at afaqs! are thrilled to announce our upcoming conference Startup Brands - Marketing for fast-growing companies, a day-long, on-ground conference dedicated to young businesses across product categories.

The idea is to discuss the different types of marketing challenges facing the Founders and senior executives who run these startups - from creating brand trust, awareness and visibility to worrying about customer acquisition and retention, from getting their distribution models right to choosing the right media platforms and communication strategies.

At Startup Brands we will have in-depth discussions, in the form of insightful panels and crisp one-on-one interviews, with some of the hottest names in the Indian startup world.
