Selling Room™ – India’s Mega Stock Liquidation & Discount Expo for D2C Brands

Selling Room™ is India’s first organised offline stock liquidation ecosystem designed to help D2C brands unlock cash flow from excess, slow-moving, seasonal, and unsold inventory.

Founded by Santhi Kathiravan, an IIM Bengaluru alumnus with over 15+ years of experience and 650+ large-scale exhibitions executed across South India, Selling Room™ was born from a critical industry insight:

brands fail not due to poor products, but due to blocked capital and unsold stock.

Selling Room™ bridges this gap by creating a curated, high-footfall, discount-led retail environment that enables fast liquidation while protecting brand value.

The story How Selling Room was Born

After 15 years of exhibitions and 650+ events, Santhi noticed one recurring issue: unsold inventory destroying brand survival.

Despite strong products and good sales, most exhibitors struggled with:

  • Slow-moving stock that kept travelling from one event to another
  • Outdated designs stuck in warehouses
  • Blocked capital with no cash flow
  • Inability to buy fresh stock
  • Rising warehouse and logistics costs
  • No reliable platform to clear old inventory
  • No credit support post-COVID
  • Increasing debt and eventual attrition from the market

Santhi realised that brands were not failing because of poor products — they were failing due to the lack of a reliable liquidation ecosystem.
This insight became the foundation for Selling Room — a curated, high-footfall offline event exclusively designed to help D2C brands.

Indians donʼt buy cheap — Indians buy smart

None of these platforms actually help sellers improve their cash flow from stuck inventory.
