What you likely need
You're at a rare inflection point — scaling Zepto toward a public listing while still in your early twenties, which means the highest-value Festival events for you sit at the intersection of IPO mechanics, institutional investor access, and late-stage operator wisdom. Dinners and roundtables with founders who have recently navigated the S-1 process, plus warm rooms with sovereign wealth and large mutual fund allocators, will compress years of relationship-building into months. Equally important are peer gatherings with other young founders running hypergrowth companies, where you can be candid about the personal weight of leading a $7B business before you're 25.
