Vivek Kumar, Founder, Alive, said, “Our mission at Alive is to massively upgrade quality of life in Indian cities. We are doing it through thousands of new and unique experiences produced with our tech-first, highly scalable approach. With Alive, we’re creating the lifestyle layer India never had and one that makes discovery, joy, and connection part of everyday life. India’s experience economy is where e-commerce was a decade ago, with full of untapped potential. We’re not just creating experiences, we’re shaping a cultural shift in how people live, celebrate and connect.”

As disposable incomes rise and consumers seek meaning over materialism, Alive is perfectly positioned to lead India’s next multibillion-dollar movement, which is the experience economy.”
