​☕ Coffee, Startups & Standups

​A curated evening for founders, operators, investors, and startup enthusiasts who are building serious things—but don't take themselves too seriously.

​"A few months ago in Toronto, I stepped onto a comedy stage and performed stand-up sets inspired by startup life. Somewhere between fundraising stories, founder anxiety, pitch decks, and product pivots, I realized something: the startup world desperately needs more laughter.

​That experience led me to discover Chasing Comedy—a Toronto based startup on a mission to make comedy more accessible—and inspired the idea of bringing this format to India.

​So while I'm in Gurgaon, I wanted to gather some of the most interesting people I know across the startup ecosystem, along with a few new faces worth meeting."

No panels. No pitches. No fundraising announcements. No LinkedIn-style networking.

​Just great coffee, honest conversations, and a comedy set that lovingly roasts the beautiful chaos of startup life.

​Expect jokes about:

• ​Fundraising rounds that feel longer than relationships

• ​"Quick calls" that become life stories

• ​VCs who say "interesting" and disappear

• ​Founders who are somehow simultaneously overconfident and sleep-deprived

• ​Growth hacks, AI decks, networking events, and everything in between

​The goal isn't to make fun of the ecosystem—it's to laugh with it.

​We're keeping this intentionally intimate with 50 carefully curated founders, investors, operators, and builders from the Gurgaon startup community.

​If you've ever raised capital, built a company, shipped a product, survived a pivot, or sat through a painful pitch deck, you'll probably find yourself in the jokes.

​Come for the coffee.
Stay for the conversations.
Leave with a few new connections and hopefully a few fewer existential startup worries.
