I wish people got the point. Think Ivy or even ISB merch store not souled store. People buying it for the memory not usage.

ISB gives degrees. Something to flaunt and get accepted pan India.  
  
 GrowthX is cohort. You can’t flaunt anywhere except Bangalore Hsr, Indiranagar, Kormangala startup circuit.

They're a profitable company apparently. It's their money to burn- looks like they don't like profits.

Fair point. Agreed they are profitable - I think

Just burning investors money in the name of community building?

Why does GrowthX need a store in upscale Indiranagar. This is like an April Fool’s day prank that took shape. Who is buying this stuff and what is their longterm plan

Who is buying GrowthX merch and what is the hype all about?

GrowthX

Business Operations

Been hearing a lot of chatter about how GrowthX isn’t as great as its advertised. Any truth to that? Is it really worth to pay that kind of money for a 8 week course and just for community?

Is GrowthX a fad?

Growth Manager

Whenever I read a growthX article it's always hype n hype. I logged into their website and it seems like a complicated process just to buy upskilling membership or course to become a top 1% leader.

Has anyone gone through with it. Is it worth it?

Thoughts on GrowthX

Have received a quote that they charge close to 80K bucks. Do companies even recognise such programs during recruitment? Would love to hear your experience on the same. 

Founders, Marketing Directors, Hiring Managers - What are your thoughts?

Is GrowthX Overrated?

I can't believe the hype - the LinkedIn masturbation pre presentation was annoying. The teams were n00bs and presented like 7th grade kids in elocution (I'm looking at you Sama Patkar). The ideas were juvenile, classic Excel sheet circus, and none of the judges grilled them. I mean really guys if you think this is growth - it's 2000. My CMO and plenty of untalented marketing folks i know would've ripped this shit apart. I kept waiting for something to learn. But what a waste of 3 hours.

Did anyone watch GrowthXs Open day?

Any experience with GrowthX?

Recently did capstone with GrowthX. While I appreciate the program design, structure etc.

Few things which are really broken and need immediate fix if they want to have the capstone product going.

1. Quality of people is nothing close to top 1%

2. AP and UD does not invest enough time with teams on soundboarding before the final assessment call. The mentors and OIRs are people who are good but not as much depth

3. The resources could be made better for sure. Most people don't know basics of stuff like growth modelling and having resources around that will help save time

Maybe it could be just me who got unlucky with the team I got but even across the cohort I could see the quality not being anywhere close to top 1%.

I think it's another community led startup which is in cross hair between 'monetising more' and 'keeping the quality of people intact'.

GrowthX is no more a 1% club

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Lately, I have been thinking very deeply about my college days when the Flipkart story had inspired the entire lot of my batch at IIT-D. We were starry eyed college kids who wanted to do something innovative in India and break away from the "three" most popular moves after IIT:

1. UPSC
2. MBA
3. MS/PhD abroad

I proceeded to then work in various Indian startups and noticed an alarming thing. I began to realise a pattern across all my stints:

The initial founding team does exceptional work innovating, they excel at what Thiel calls "Zero to One", the act of creation. I will concede that although most founders fail to innovate by often copying what worked in the west but the initial founding team usually excels in execution. It allows for initial traction as it breathes a fresh breath in the\ space that they are operating in.

Almost always, when Product Market Fit is "achieved"(whatever that means), the founders begin to deploy insane amounts of funds into growth. 

By definition, Growth is not a bad thing. But, I have been noticing that across all startups I have worked at( all raised funds from the largest global funds) that it comes at the expense of product building. And during this era of hypergrowth, the product starts to stagnate while focus becomes marketing and sales. 

I often felt that this was temporary. That once we reach enough scale, we would start to innovate again. 
But time and time again, the ability to innovate atrophies over time.
Rather than building something that has enduring value by executing faster than anyone, the focus becomes achieving growth at all costs. 

This ultimately leads to two outcomes:
1. The startup cannot sustain this growth and retention begins to look dire. The churn becomes unbearable and the startup goes out of business.

2. The startup gets acquired by someone bigger, allowing founders and investors to believe that they created value where none existed in the first place.

I am completely dejected at this.
