Founder, GrowthX® | Growth Leader at CRED, Dunzo | Building growth leaders for India

I grew up in a remote town in Maharashtra, went to a Tier 2 college & took a lot of unconventional routes to land up a one-way flight to Bangalore— all of it for the right opportunity.

Opportunity to build something that I truly find joy in & want to spend a considerable portion of my life. Sure - like most of my inner circle of friends, I was ambitious, but none of it would have happened if Bengaluru had not given me the “Opportunity”.

I’m grateful to be able to live my dream, build products that impact so many lives over the last couple of years & be part of the India story. 

Currently, I am building GrowthX, a community that helps you be around people who are smarter than you, learn key skills & crack your next breakout role. Over 5,000 vetted professionals from companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Jio, HUL, ITC, Coca-Cola, and more trust GrowthX to grow their careers.

The product is simple — you spend face-time with vetted people online & through IRL events, learn key skills through weekly live learning expert-led sessions, & you get everything you need to crack your next job role.

If you read until this point, do check out www.growthx.club & tell me if we are/ aren’t doing a good job at communicating what we do :)

Founder

A large part of my work involves curating new members, defining the learning experience and getting founders and growth leaders to accelerate their companies & careers. 

GrowthX is a social learning community of founders, product & marketing leaders. Our members come from top internet companies such as Google, Stripe, Airbnb, Netflix, Razorpay, Freshworks, CRED, Flipkart, Canva, Meesho, OYO, Bloomberg, Zoho, Cisco, Unacademy, Khatabook, Smallcase, Udaan & 1800+ others. 

If the ability to solve any growth problem or exponential outcomes is what you chase, GrowthX might be the right tribe for you.

Building A Media House at GrowthX

I started working when I was 14.

When I was 17, I created content that produced massive ROI for my manager.
He ended up buying me a fully decked-up personal computer. But, I resigned.

Since then, I've worked as a Brand Manager, Content Strategist and Consultant in previous roles.
Some notable milestones would be:

1. Headed the Marketing and Content Team for a B2C company. Made YouTube a recurring source of revenue, doubled lead generation via Instagram, and took Pinterest's reach to 2M+ organically.
2. Developed and Created 10+ videos and reading materials for an online self-paced course for an ed-tech company within a month's timeline.
3. Rebranded a stock broking company with deliverables like Market Research, Ideal Customer Persona, Content Market, Launch Plan, Content Buckets and Social Media Calendar.
4. Implemented Notion and automation tools like Notion and Mailerlite in an organisation, therefore, increasing their productivity and optimizing workflows.
5. Worked with brands like Hard Rock Cafe, Bengal Rowing Club, and Rotaract Club among others to create video and graphic-based content.
6. Led teams of designers, writers and editors for college fests and national events like Kisme Kitna Hai Dum.

Why are there so many Lenskart stores everywhere suddenly?

It’s supremely important to be delusional. 
Let me tell you why.

See, when you work in a startup, the odds of success are stacked against you. In all shapes & form. Literally no one believes that you can succeed.

Even data says so. 99% of the startups fail. Even VCs believe it. Which is why they bet on 100 & expect 5-10 to give them outsized returns.

So all you have is belief. Gut wrenching, scary belief, almost that things will work out.

Also, you’re almost always swimming against the tide. You’re taking on a massive incumbent, or entering a crazy category, or worse creating a category.

In these moments, if you’re not delusional. You will not put through. Genuinely.

You have to have a blinding, almost crazy belief in the mission that you are going to make it.

Delusion with one ear to the ground of being practical. That’s the right balance.

If you can’t be delusional, I would highly recommend against joining a startup.

Belief matters. Delusion matters more.

How Nykaa won the crowded beauty market.

TLDR: Nykaa won because of Falguni Nayar & team's efforts to own the affluent user.

What being affluent in India really means 💰
