TESTIMONIALS

Voices from the ReTechCon Community.

Since the beginning, ReTechCon has contributed immensely to my personal growth as a Retail Technology professional and I always nurture the experience every year. ReTechCon was no different and I shall continue to be part of this in the years to come.

Ajay Aggarwal Retail Entrepreneur & Evangelist

ReTechCon was indeed a good experience. I look forward to events where I can add value.

Sebin Thomas Head Supply Chain Management, HyperCITY Retail (India) Ltd.

It was a pleasure to have attended the Retail Technology Conclave. As usual, it was extremely good exposure and the industry interactions very fruitful.

Abhilasha Joshi Business Head, Juice Salons

This Year’s RetechCon was different in that there were many participants the majority of whom I did not know. That is good. There were more individual entrepreneurs there who were hungry to know. Refreshing indeed.

K Radhakrishnan Retail Entrepreneur & Evangelist

I have been a member of RAI for three years now and have attended most of RAI events, which are always highly engaging, knowledge-enriching and extremely useful for my professional work. That I get to interact with top guys in retail as well as so many people in the ecosystem is a carrot for me to attend such events. I look forward to attending the next event eagerly.

S. Shriram MD, Smiling Baby

We are glad to have participated in the ReTech Startups and it’s been even more our honor to have been awarded. We are looking forward to continued association with RAI and participate in its future events.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is ReTechCon?

ReTechCon (Retail Technology Conclave) is India's only technology conclave with an exclusive focus on retail. Organised annually by the Retailers Association of India (RAI), it brings retail business leaders and technology providers onto the same platform — roughly half the delegates are retailers and half are technology providers.

Who organises ReTechCon?

ReTechCon is organised by the Retailers Association of India (RAI), the industry body representing retailers across India. It's RAI's dedicated technology platform, alongside other RAI events like the Retail Leadership Summit and Manning Modern Retail.

Who attends ReTechCon?

Retail CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, and digital transformation heads; technology providers across AI, RFID, POS, cybersecurity, and supply chain; D2C and emerging brand founders; and industry analysts and consulting partners. Recent editions have drawn roughly 1,000 attendees, 800+ brands, and 100+ speakers.

Where and when is ReTechCon held?

ReTechCon 2026 takes place on 23–24 September 2026 at the JW Marriott, Mumbai Sahar, starting at 9:00 AM each day.
