Accel Connect in India 2025
550+ founders, investors, and ecosystem partners marked a milestone year shaped by two IPOs, a new fund, and candid lessons on pressure.
Overview
Accel's portfolio founders, co-investors, and ecosystem partners came together in a year that saw the Swiggy and BlackBuck IPOs and the launch of Fund VIII. Founder-led sessions made room for peer conversations across AI, B2B, and B2C, but the most human exchange came from Jasprit Bumrah and Paddy Upton on performance pressure, mindset, and what sustained excellence demanded.
