Founder authority
Deepak Shukla — experience architect
Pearl Lemon Experiences is run by a founder who builds rooms for a living. Deepak is a Warwick English graduate, formerly at Deloitte and MEC, and has grown Pearl Lemon Group to 130+ people across 14 countries. He speaks on international stages and personally hosts dinners, retreats and meetups — the same discipline we apply to a 10-day retail activation or a 400-guest corporate event.

Events he hosts himself
Founder dinners in London
Curated private dinners for founders and operators — guest lists, venue, menu and run of show designed in-house.
House of Lords dinners with Lord Kulveer Ranger
Hosted gatherings inside a protocol-heavy venue, where guest management and timing leave no margin for error.
The 72 Hour Reset, Northern Italy
A multi-day founder retreat: travel, accommodation, programming and catering run as one production.
London entrepreneur meetups
Recurring community events, from small rooms to full venue takeovers.
Why the endurance record matters
Multi-day activations are logistics under fatigue. The same temperament that finishes a 203-mile race is what keeps a stand staffed, stocked and on-brand on day nine.
