A gathering of people building on Shopify in Mumbai: the founders running their brands on it, the agencies that build and grow those stores, and the developers shipping apps into the ecosystem. Everyone building on Shopify is solving the same problems from a different seat. Founders are trying to work out which apps are worth paying for and which agency will actually move the numbers. Agencies are looking for brands ready to grow. App developers want to hear, straight from merchants, what is still hard. Put them at one table and the conversation writes itself. The conversation covers what is working on the platform right now: store setups that convert, the apps and integrations doing real work, checkout and payments in India, moving to Shopify from another stack, and what agencies and app builders have learnt from the brands they serve. If you run a store on Shopify, build for the merchants who do, or are deciding whether to move there, come and compare notes.
