Deepak Lamba — Co-Founder

As the CEO of ImagiNxt and CEO of the Fashion Entrepreneur Fund (FEF), I am dedicated to building ventures that drive the future of technology, human experience, and innovation. ImagiNxt creates high-impact ecosystems by blending transformative events, digital content, and community-driven experiences to drive innovation and sustainable growth. Through experiential IPs in the B2B and B2C arenas, we connect visionaries, decision-makers, and disruptors, shaping the future of business and technology. Our thought leadership platforms deliver insightful content through podcasts, reports, and digital channels, offering deep industry perspectives that inform and inspire. By fostering active community engagement, we cultivate a dynamic space where ideas evolve, collaborations thrive, and innovation accelerates. As CEO at FEF, I lead a venture studio investing in disruptive, high-growth fashion startups. FEF is backed by an influential investor board, including industry stalwarts such as Mr Vagish Pathak, Mr Gaurav Dalmia, Mr Ravi Jaipuria, Mr Vinod Dugar, Mr Jitendra Lalwani, Mr Naveen Jindal, Mr Sandeep Jain; Bollywood icon Mr Akshay Kumar; and renowned filmmaker Mr Karan Johar. Through a groundbreaking collaboration, with Dharmatic Entertainment, FEF is pioneering using mass media, to drive fashion investing—leveraging storytelling, content, and entertainment to accelerate brand-building and market impact. My career has spanned media, technology, and business leadership, including roles as Founder & CEO of multiple organisations within The Times of India Group. During my tenure, I successfully: • Led The Times of India Group’s foray into the education sector via the Times Centre for Learning, which today is a major revenue driver for the Times of India Group. • Built ET Edge, arguably India’s leading conference company, bringing together global leaders, including PM Modi, at industry-defining events. • Led the pivot from a traditional B2B business of brands like Filmfare, Femina, Grazia, Good Homes, etc to a multi-million dollar experiential and lifestyle media company for Worldwide Media. Before joining The Times of India Group, I held leadership positions at Bloomberg UTV and Viacom Brand Solutions, spearheading high-impact strategies that drive business growth and audience engagement. My journey began with an unconventional choice—joining a startup, Hungama, instead of a corporate role at Mercedes-Benz and I have always been driven by the excitement of building startups from the ground up.
