A table designed for conversations
that leave a mark.
After8 brings together people who think boldly, build intentionally, and talk like something might actually come of it. It isn’t a platform. It’s a setting. And the people who find themselves here aren’t here by accident.
- Conversations that lead somewhere real.
- People who know what they bring to the table.
- Networks that go beyond introductions.
the Vision — THE FOUNDERS
“As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned that the right idea isn’t always what changes things — the right people do. But finding those people outside of boardrooms, without the awkward networking hustle, is rare. Most ‘networking spaces’ feel forced… or worse, forgettable. I wanted to create something that didn’t just introduce people, but gave ambition the right table to sit at.”
Why After8?For Laksh, After8 is a solution to something he’s lived — the gap between ambitious people and meaningful access. A space where conversations aren’t forced, but engineered for connection.
“I spent years in New York, surrounded by people chasing big dreams, but craving connection that went beyond ‘what do you do’. When I moved back to India, I realised how few spaces existed for people like me — driven, curious, but tired of surface-level talk. I didn’t want another networking app. I wanted a room where conversation had depth and people felt real. So we built it.”
Why After8?For Sonam, After8 was never about collecting business cards. It was about designing spaces where drive meets ease, where smart conversations don’t feel forced.
