Between Rounds by Oops to Opportunity

Between Rounds by Oops to Opportunity is an evening of honest, story-led conversations about what it actually takes to build something of your own. Hosted by George Dilip Mohan, the session brings together entrepreneurs and aspiring founders to unpack the parts of the journey that rarely make it into polished success stories.

What it is

• A candid, conversation-first gathering rather than a lecture or pitch event.
• Speakers share the uncertain decisions, difficult pivots and messy growth periods behind their ventures.
• The format is deliberately informal, built around real lived experience instead of rehearsed narratives.

Who it's for

• Founders already building a business and navigating early-stage challenges.
• Aspiring entrepreneurs still shaping an idea or validating a concept.
• Anyone genuinely curious about whether entrepreneurship is the right path for them.
• Professionals considering a move from employment into building their own venture.

What to expect

• Story-led talks from practitioners who have been through the grind.
• Space to ask better, more specific questions than a typical panel allows.
• A room full of people at similar stages, making it easy to meet others finding their way.
• Practical perspective on pivots, uncertainty and the emotional weight of building.

Agenda highlights

• Opening conversations with featured speakers on the realities of early building.
• Discussion of difficult pivots and periods of slow or unclear growth.
• Open exchange with the audience, focused on lived experience over theory.
• Informal networking through the evening.

Details

• Date: 29 October 2026, 6:15 PM IST onwards.
• Venue: Sabha Blr, Bengaluru.
• Tickets: ₹999.

About the organiser George Dilip Mohan runs the Oops to Opportunity series, which focuses on the unglamorous side of entrepreneurship - the mistakes, detours and lessons that founders usually only share privately. The series is built on the premise that failure and missteps are useful material for others, not things to hide. Between Rounds extends that idea into an in-person evening format in Bengaluru, a city with one of India's densest concentrations of founders, early-stage teams and startup support networks. For anyone in that ecosystem, the event offers a low-pressure way to hear unfiltered accounts of building and to connect with peers working through the same questions.
