How To Stand Out at Conferences ft.

At a crowded conference, most people play it safe. Navy suits, black blazers, muted tones—they blend in because blending in feels comfortable. It’s predictable. But predictable doesn’t get remembered.

Then there’s
Umesh Uttamchandani Umesh Uttamchandani
, Founder of DevX, at the India Global Forum in Dubai. He walks in wearing a pink blazer. Not because he has to. Not because it’s expected. He does it because it’s a signal. It says, “I’m here. I’m confident. I’m worth noticing.” And people notice. They always do. Someone compliments the blazer. Someone else starts a conversation. The door opens, and suddenly, the pink blazer isn’t just fabric—it’s the beginning of something.

And then there’s
Koumal Kalantry Koumal Kalantry
, Founder of BigNano Ventures, at the eChai Startup Conference in Bangalore. She’s on stage, wearing a red blazer—bold, unmissable, deliberate. In a room where most people fade into the background, Koumal owns the spotlight. Her choice of red isn’t an accident. It’s strategy. Eyes turn. Attention follows. And before a single word is spoken, she’s already set the tone.

Here’s the thing: Umesh and Koumal didn’t just choose colors. They chose to stand out. They chose to be memorable. Because at a conference, being invisible is easy. It’s what most people do. But the ones who make an impact? They don’t wait to be noticed—they demand it.

Your wardrobe isn’t just clothing. It’s a story. A statement. A signal. When you dress with intention, you’re not just wearing a blazer. You’re giving people a reason to stop, look, and listen. And that’s how you turn a moment into a connection.
It’s fun to play and build eChai Startup Cricket & Pickleball Nights every week in Ahmedabad.
