Off The Grid 2026: Where Culture Becomes Retail

/

Mumbai, India: Off The Grid 2026 returns as a progressive fashion and pop culture playground curated by All You Can (AYC) in collaboration with Jio World Plaza. Positioned at the intersection of fashion, music, art, and youth expression, Off The Grid transforms retail into an immersive cultural landscape — one where brands are not displayed, but experienced.

More than an event, Off The Grid is an ecosystem. It is built on the belief that today’s audiences seek participation over passive consumption. The platform embeds brands directly into culture through tactile, emotional, and community-led touchpoints, creating a space where commerce and creativity co-exist fluidly.

The 2026 edition brings together a new wave of emerging fashion and lifestyle labels including Erode, Baroodi, Duja, Vezzo, A29, Volfsbane, Anemoia, The Madnose, 333 Jewels, Uncool, and Thaely — each aligned with the event’s ethos of individuality, experimentation, and cultural relevance. These brands represent progressive fashion, accessories, fragrance, and lifestyle categories that speak to a generation seeking identity, craft, and meaning.

Hospitality plays a central role in the Off The Grid experience. Curated food partners including Ammakai, EL&N London, and La Taqueria enhance the event's sensory landscape. Designed to encourage dwell time and dialogue, the culinary programming blends seamlessly with fashion, music, and art — reinforcing the event’s immersive intent.

Experience-led programming remains the heart of Off The Grid 2026. Visitors are invited to engage in hands-on workshops that transform spectators into participants:

  • A rug tufting workshop with Clumsy, where attendees design and create custom rugs.

  • Live tarot reading sessions with Riya Rokade, offering intuitive consultations within the event space.

  • A “Make Your Own Lip Gloss” workshop with Tint Cosmetics.

  • A personalized perfume-making experience with The Madnose.

  • A curated tiramisu-making session with Mr. Misu.

Each activation is designed not as an add-on, but as an integral part of the cultural narrative — encouraging expression, experimentation, and shared discovery.

Building on AYC’s ecosystem-driven approach to culture-led retail, Off The Grid 2026 reimagines what a luxury retail environment can feel like. Set within the high-footfall space of Jio World Plaza, the event creates a dialogue between emerging subcultures and contemporary luxury.

I would love to explore a possibility for you to include this experience in your upcoming Mumbai event listicles and city guides — it’s a strong cultural moment for the city.
