Scaling Your Company

In the early stages, entrepreneurs establish the identity, launch the first set of products and services, create customers, build the team and get funding. Validity of the idea and viability of the business is proven during this stage. This is often the first orbit of growth of an enterprise. This masterclass is for companies trying to take off into the second growth orbit. The second orbit is often about sustained growth.

It has been observed that what got entrepreneurs through the first orbit is not likely to work for the second orbit. Dr. Anand Deshpande & Prof. Korwar will discuss the new mindset and approach needed to get to the second orbit. Concepts namely, power of visualization, identifying the constraint that holds entrepreneurs back, positioning, sales, and strategy will be discussed.

Dr. Anand Deshpande, Persistent Systems Founder & Chairperson, has been through these phases and will share what works and what does not work. Prof. Ashok Korwar has worked with multiple companies and will describe different types of constraints and the strategies to address these.

The masterclass is conducted in workshop mode and is meant for companies that have reached minimally Rs. 5 Crore annual revenue and are looking to grow significantly.

Design Thinking

The whole purpose of an enterprise is to create a business or can we say a customer?

It is customers who help us build a business. Therefore, how about putting the customer at the centre of an enterprise? It’s easier said than done. Often enough, entrepreneurs gravitate towards product feature set, marketing and other areas without taking a holistic view of the value proposition. It becomes more difficult for inventive, disruptive ideas when the product or service is well defined and there may not be a well defined usage profile.

This master class on Design Thinking will cover what is design thinking, why design thinking and the difference between design thinking and traditional process. There will be a real-life case study from a deep tech company. There will be opportunities for entrepreneurs and founding teams to work with experts to take a shot at their own company.

Digital Marketing & Branding

Entrepreneurs often face the tricky issue of creating customers at the early stages. If it’s a startup, founders are expected to do everything, define the market, create leads and guide these to closed businesses. Along the way, entrepreneurs are required to brand their company, their product and all of this with very limited resources in most cases. Even a smart entrepreneur may not understand the nuances of these, which are supposed to be the domain of marketing and branding experts.

Digital media has opened infinite opportunities for early-stage and small companies to reach globally. However, without proper strategy and understanding of how to go about it, one gets drowned in this vast ocean of digital media.

This masterclass will help you with digital marketing and branding techniques that can work as catalysts for the growth of business in the early stage. Conducting the class are Samir Palnitkar, a serial technology entrepreneur from the Silicon Valley, now based in Pune and Shantanu Deshpande, Founder & CEO of Bombay Shaving, one of India’s most successful digital brands.

Finance & Fund Raise

Finance and accounting is often not an area of expertise for entrepreneurs. However, they are expected to know right from simple revenue and expenses accounting to deeper nuances of a ‘term sheet’ (a document that contains the offer for investment by investors).

This class covers two broad areas:
1. Basics of finance and accounting – income, cash flow, balance sheet, and accounting principles that all founders need to understand
2. Fund Raise – external funding namely, debt and equity; angel to institutional rounds and internal funding that is building financial resources through selling products and services

The class will untangle all the terms used by investors and approaches by different types of investors such as angels, early-stage funds, and institutional investors. Participants will be divided into groups and their specific financing requirements will be taken up as case studies. Entrepreneurs will know if their company is investible and can determine the nature and amount of funding.

Organizing Sales to Grow

Simply put, 'Sales' is about converting a lead to business, meaning someone pays for your product or service. The entrepreneurial journey is unusual in the early stages. At times, early breakthroughs determine how a business develops. On the other hand, very early customers may not provide the direction that founders need to take to build a sustainable growth-centric sales strategy.

This class will lay the foundation of Sales, and how it manifests throughout the lifecycle of different types of enterprises namely, B2B (business to business), B2C (business to consumers), and B2B2C (business 2 business 2 consumers), B2B4C (business 2 business 4 consumers). The session will cover products, services, partner models, and the role of founders. Go-to-market strategy will be part of the masterclass.

Organization of the Master Class:

1. Session I (90min) will be in interactive teaching mode and a couple of simulated case studies

2. Session II will involve working on each participant’s case facilitated by the faculty, and experts who have built successful sales organizations. Participants will be divided into groups. While working on their own scaling strategy, they will have the opportunity to provide input to others in the group

Cyber Security, Risk & Compliance

Cyber security and user privacy are some of the prime requirements in any organization today. In addition, national and international compliances have become mandatory, even for small companies and startups.

During this masterclass, each participant will:

1. Get familiarized with the basics of cyber security, privacy, and statutory requirements

2. Establish the security posture of her or his organization and the roadmap

Security posture will depend on the kind of business, the level of security, privacy, and resources available. Participants will be able to put together the security roadmap for their individual companies.
