550+ portfolio founders, investors, and ecosystem partners came together for Accel’s flagship India summit — a day of connection, conversation, and community.
Accel Connect 2025 brought together all portfolio founders, co-investors, and ecosystem friends for a day of connection, reflection, and celebration.
The event featured founder-led keynotes, private peer tracks across AI, B2B, and B2C, and high-trust networking designed for real conversations. Sessions included candid insights from cricketer Jasprit Bumrah and mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton on performance, pressure, and mindset — alongside deep dives into company-building and founder resilience.
Set against a milestone year — with two IPOs (Swiggy and BlackBuck) and the launch of Fund VIII — the gathering reinforced Accel’s commitment to backing long-term builders and the broader ecosystem. The outcome: meaningful new relationships, high engagement, and a renewed sense of momentum.
