Why RISE//DEL is a Must-Attend for Musicians & Industry Professionals?
For musicians and professionals in the music industry, RISE//DEL offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with some of India’s most influential artists and entrepreneurs.

More Than Just a Conference: A Platform for Creative Growth
RISE//DEL was founded by Aayush Bansal as a response to the lack of a cohesive space where India’s creative and entrepreneurial communities could connect, collaborate, and grow together.
“After over a decade in India’s live industry, I realized the absence of a platform that encourages cross-pollination among creative and entrepreneurial sectors,” Bansal said.
His partner and co-founder, Utkarsh Bansal, echoed this sentiment, stating, “RISE is about creating an environment where business professionals, cultural figures, and creative minds can come together to share knowledge, spark conversations, and drive innovation. We aim to foster a space where the next generation of voices can gain insights, build networks, and manifest their creative calling.”
In a world where social media and digital platforms have reshaped the way artists engage with their audience, RISE//DEL aims to cut through the noise by creating an authentic space for real conversations, networking, and skill-building. Whether it’s through workshops, interactive panel discussions, or live showcases, the conference is designed to inspire, educate, and elevate everyone involved.
