Currently a tech lead (2yr Experience) at an Early Stage Startup. How can I grow my skills to become the CTO? What are the direct and indirect role, responsibility and skillset of a CTO?
I can understand why people with 2-3 years can become tech leads at early stage startups. You may have sufficient context as well as highly tuned skills to the tech stack of the product you built. Be warned though - your skills probably won't scale to the required tech lead skills at other places where you haven't built the product and team from day 0.
A CTO is an executive position and a managerial position. Being promoted to CTO as a technical lead is going to be very challenging as you'll likely be missing the required managerial and executive skills.
The best way to become a CTO quickly is to found your own startup and take up the role. Hopefully, your managerial skills would scale as your startup team scales and you'll become the perfect CTO. Be warned though - most early career cofounder CTOs are usually replaced by the board when the startup reaches series B or so. You might have to later settle for a director or senior EM role.
You need to join tution classes on - how to become a CTO.

Byju's is good choice. Questions like these cannot be answered in forums. A full time course is required. I hope they also come up with courses like - How to become Prime Minister of India or How to build a company like SpaceX
