Brands to Movements: Creating Culture-Led Businesses in India

At the Entrepreneur India Startup Summit 2026, the 35 Under 35 panel brought together a new generation of founders redefining what it means to build in India. Hosted by Sachin Marya, Editorial Director, Entrepreneur India & APAC, the conversation moved beyond valuations and into vision, resilience, and cultural relevance.

From Harshita Gupta transforming traditional Chikankari into a Gen Z-forward brand, to Pulkit Baldev digitising India’s metal industry, Ankit Sinha scaling immersive digital experiences toward IPO, Pulkit Ahuja building deep-tech ecosystems for blue-collar workers, and Abhinav Sherwal democratising startup debt through fintech innovation, the panel reflected the diversity and ambition of India’s under-35 founders.

The discussion was raw and real: first customers, moments of doubt, broken tech stacks, team exits, mental health pressures, and the sacrifice behind growth. What stood out was a shift in mindset, from chasing hype to building with patience, perseverance, governance, and purpose.
This isn’t just a list. It’s a movement. And if this panel is any indication, the future of Indian entrepreneurship is culture-led, tech-enabled, and unapologetically ambitious.
