400 partners, 1 stage, and countless opportunities for growth and synergy!

On October 16, 2023, we hosted our annual flagship event, 'Partners' Conclave,' which brought together an impressive assembly of over 400 partners. The event represented an opportunity to transcend boundaries and foster a sense of unity and purpose.

These retailers and distributors form the bedrock of our supply chain, and it goes without saying that they are central to propelling our success in the Indian market. The conclave was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of the symbiotic relationship between vivo and its partners.

Akhil, our partner from Hyderabad, spoke with gratitude, “vivo has been more than just a brand for us. They’ve been our partners in growth. I’ve been associated with vivo for a decade now, and they have stood by us, provided us with the tools and strategies not only to survive but also to thrive in this competitive landscape. What stands out for me is how, as a brand, vivo focuses on innovation and technology that resonates with customers, and they’re always very focused on meeting consumer needs.”
