THE ROOM: Where Mumbai’s Founders, Investors & Creators Actually Connect

Something interesting is happening in Mumbai. Not another networking event. Not another panel for the sake of it. This one feels different.

THE ROOM is where it’s about to converge.

Built by Bombay Founders' Club, led by Devarsh Saraf, and The Movement, founded by Tanishq, in collaboration with AltBollywood by Kenneth Hopkins, this is not just another date on the calendar. This is a room full of intent.

On April 18th, 2025, at Quorum, founders, investors, and creators come together for something more real than curated conversations. The idea is simple. Put the right people in the same room and let the conversation do the heavy lifting.

Why This Matters

Community is the most overused word in startups right now. And somehow still the most misunderstood. THE ROOM is built around that exact tension.

At the centre is a panel that actually matters. Not theory. Not LinkedIn frameworks. Real operators talking about what it takes to build communities that move culture and drive business.

Featuring:

• Devarsh Saraf

• Tanishq

• Kenneth Hopkins

The conversation will break down:

• What makes a community stick

• Why most communities fail

• How culture translates into economic value

• And what founders are still getting wrong
  

The Experience

This isn’t just a sit-and-listen format.

It’s designed as a flow:

• Roundtable conversations

• Curated networking

• Dinner with intent

• And then a shift in energy

The night transitions into an afterparty led by DJ Suketu, bringing a completely different tempo to the same room.

Backed by:

• Sound Vodka and Sector Gin as pouring partners

• POP Zero by Malaki as beverage partner

• Vercelli handling styling

• Puzzle Media as media partner

Everything about the night is intentional. Who’s in the room. What’s being said. What happens after.

TAP FOR EVENT INVITE The Real Hook

There’s also something else.

A major announcement.

No previews. No leaks. Just a signal that something bigger is being built behind the scenes. And it’s dropping in that room, on that night.

Final Thought

Most events try to create noise.

This one is trying to create gravity.

And if you understand how culture, capital, and community are starting to overlap in India right now, you already know why this room matters.
