Sunday morning networking for serious founders, CXOs & investors. Application-only. Curated room. Real conversations. No pitching
Entrepreneur's Mixer is an application-based, closed-door networking session for founders, operators, and investors who are actively building or backing serious businesses—limited seats. Every attendee is reviewed individually before entry.
Who This Is For
The one non-negotiable: you must be actively doing something, not just planning to.
Only 3 slots are available for Startup Enablers (CA, Legal, Design, Tech) — these are reserved, not guaranteed.
Who This Is Not For
About the â‚ą750 Fee
It covers entry, a light snack, and access to a private community of 500+ verified founders and decision-makers across India. More importantly, it ensures that everyone in the room has made a deliberate, conscious decision to show up. That one thing changes the quality of every conversation.

The Events directory helps founders, entrepreneurs, investors, developers, students, and startup enthusiasts discover upcoming conferences, meetups, workshops, webinars, hackathons, networking sessions, pitch competitions, and other startup-related events from around the world.
No. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, DesiFounder does not organize, sponsor, endorse, or have any affiliation with the events listed in this directory.
The Events section is an aggregation platform that helps the startup community discover relevant events from various organizers.
If an event is officially organized, hosted, or co-hosted by DesiFounder, it will be clearly identified with a "DesiFounder Hosted" or "Official DesiFounder Event" badge on the event page.
We make reasonable efforts to review submissions, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of every event.
We recommend verifying event details directly with the organizer before registering or making travel arrangements, as many times event details are updated by organizers at a later stage, and we do not automatically update them on DesiFounder.
