Built for two audiences.
One mission.
DC is the only community that brings working professionals and rising students into the same room — because the best mentorship happens when both groups are present.
Convene the conversations that grow careers and companies.
DC creates spaces — physical and virtual — where senior practitioners share what’s actually working, and where students preparing to enter the field get direct, unfiltered access to that knowledge.
A borderless network spanning early careers to industry leadership.
A world where a marketing student in a tier-2 college and a CMO in London are part of the same professional community — learning from the same stage, asking the same questions.
Become the most trusted SBD community across India and beyond.
Starting with meet-ups and virtual programming in India, expanding to UK, US, UAE and Singapore — and building the campus pipeline that feeds the next generation of practitioners into it.
