Blacklisted at TiECON Chandigarh 2026

This year’s edition promises bigger conversations, stronger collaborations, and a sharper focus on how Indian innovation can influence global markets. 

The 11th edition of TiECON Chandigarh carries the theme “Indigenous Innovation, Global Impact”. It is a powerful idea that perfectly reflects what is happening in India today.

Now, startups are no longer just trying to enter the market. They are building products and successfully launching brands that are designed for the world. 

TiECON Chandigarh 2026 will bring together:

• Entrepreneurs who are building new-age companies. 
• Investors who are searching for promising ideas to invest in. 
• Policymakers seeking to shape the innovation ecosystem. 
• Industry experts who are guiding the next generation of founders. 

The conference is set to be built around five core pillars that have defined TiE for decades: 

1. Mentoring: provides experienced entrepreneurs who help new founders to solve actual business problems.  
2. Education: provides programmes that assist young innovators and startups to develop their businesses through its educational discussions.
3. Networking: provides a space where people can exchange ideas, which will lead to new partnerships. 
4. Incubation: provides companies at their initial stage with resources which enable them to transform their ideas into operational enterprises. 
5. Investing: provides startup companies with direct contact to angel investors and funding networks, which will help them grow their businesses. 

Together, these pillars create an ecosystem where innovation scales higher. 

As a branding agency, our fundamental purpose revolves around helping businesses communicate their goals and vision clearly to the world. We believe that great brands deserve great storytelling, and great storytelling needs the right strategy. That is what we dedicate ourselves to aiming for. 

TiECON is one of the best places where visionary founders get to openly discuss their ideas, challenges, and ambitions with like-minded individuals. For us, it is the perfect environment to brush up on our understanding of how brands evolve at different stages of growth. 

Our participation is not just about showing that we are out there. It is mainly about making connections and sharing conversations. We have gained many valuable partnerships via these conversations, which continue to this day. 

Blacklisted has been part of the TiECON ecosystem for several years now. Each edition keeps on adding something new and valuable to our story:

TiECON Chandigarh 2024-Early 2026

Blacklisted became part of the TiECON Chandigarh 2024 and got to experience the entrepreneurial ocean at such a grand platform. 

The next year was a truly landmark year for us, where we participated as an official Bronze Sponsor at TiECON Chandigarh 2025, held at Hyatt Regency. The event allowed us to showcase our work as well as engage with several inspiring entrepreneurs and leaders. 

One of the highlights of the conference was the Brand Warfare masterclass led by our Founder and CEO, Mohit Sharma. 

The session focused on how modern brands can navigate digital disruption. It explored topics like brand storytelling, viral marketing, and building strong identities in competitive markets. We received a tremendous response from attendees, many of whom claimed to have been following Blacklisted for a long time. 

Catch up on the highlights of our experience here.

During the next TiE event in January 2026, we also got to interact with renowned regional dignitaries, including the Chief Minister of Haryana, where we became part of the discussions about the growing startup ecosystem in North India. 

Let’s talk about our booth! We set up distinctive Blacklisted-themed exhibition booths, where visitors could interact with our teammates and explore our creative portfolio. We gave attendees a digitally enabled look at the kind of work we build for our clients. 

The TiE Chandigarh leadership team also recognised our contribution to the regional innovation ecosystem during the event. That recognition meant a lot to our team. 

TiE Activities and Community Engagement

In 2024, Blacklisted supported the TiE Chandigarh Cricket League (TCCL) as a co-sponsor. The tournament brought together entrepreneurs and professionals from across the region. The event showed that community building can occur outside of conference halls. 

Last year, we made a wave at TieCON Chandigarh; this year, we plan to create a tsunami with a bigger presence! Stay tuned for the latest updates about the event. 

However, this year we will be attending TiECON Chandigarh with a simple goal. We want to have meaningful conversations with businesses that are ready to turn into powerful brands. 

As a widely known creative agency in Mohali, our work often sits at the intersection of strategy, design, and digital growth. We believe that not every brand challenge has a one-size-fits-all solution. And the best ideas often emerge from open discussions. This year at TiECON Chandigarh, expect honest conversations from us and nothing less.

The upcoming edition of TiECON Chandigarh is all set to welcome us all. With the theme “Indigenous Innovation, Global Impact”, the focus is clear that India’s ideas are ready for the world. 

Blacklisted is looking forward to being a part of this highly anticipated gathering. We have been part of the TiECON community for years, and every edition introduces us to new perspectives and partnership opportunities. 

If you are attending TiECON this year, there is a good chance we will cross paths. And when we do, we would love to hear your story. 

Because behind every great startup is a brand waiting to be built. See you in Chandigarh!
