What would you feel if you came across an Indian consumer brand that had already moved beyond the pitch deck, and was now building real distribution, brand presence and global ambition?

Would you see an investment opportunity?

Or would you want to understand what it takes to build that kind of momentum from the ground up?

On 4th September, Bestvantage Investments is bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, founders and business leaders at DIFC, Dubai for a conversation with Devesh Bochre, Founder of VOLD Energy Drink.

This is an invitation to go beyond the usual startup conversation.

From a bold idea to a growing consumer brand

Founded in Pune, VOLD Energy has built itself around a simple proposition: “No Rules, Just VOLD.”

The brand operates across energy drinks and premium mixers, with products available across can, PET and glass formats. Its energy drinks feature 75 mg of caffeine per 250 ml can, alongside taurine and B vitamins. But what makes VOLD particularly interesting from a business perspective is the journey behind the brand.

Today, VOLD says it has 750+ distribution partners across 10 regions, giving it a growing footprint across markets including Maharashtra, Goa, North Karnataka, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, UP East and the North East.

The brand also took its story to Shark Tank India Season 3, putting its founder and business in front of a national audience. And the journey has already crossed borders. In 2024, VOLD closed a seed round led by a strategic US investor, with Bestvantage Investments advising the company, creating a foundation for further growth and international market expansion.

Now, the conversation moves to Dubai.

What happens when an Indian consumer brand starts thinking beyond India?

How do you build a consumer brand from scratch?

What actually attracts strategic investors?

How do you scale distribution without losing control of the brand?

And what changes when the ambition moves from national growth to global expansion?

These are the questions we want to explore with Devesh Bochre.
