You want to build with voice AI, not just read about it.

You have a repetitive workflow you want to automate with voice.

You deal with something repetitive every week and want a voice agent for it.

No voice AI expertise needed. You just need your platform set up.

Ameya is a Community and Events Specialist at GrowthX.

He has organized and executed large-scale events for 3,000+ attendees, managed end-to-end logistics, and hosted 90+ interactive workshops across AI, marketing, product, and design.

His experience running hands-on technical workshops and managing on-ground operations is what keeps a 4-hour build session like this structured and moving.

Whether it's a briefing tool, a personal coach, or a repetitive task assistant, you'll ship a working product. No prior expertise in voice AI needed—engineers, PMs, founders, and no-code builders are all welcome.

We'll get started on Sunday, 27 Sep 2026 · 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Tickets: ₹386.

Your traffic mix changed this quarter and your funnel didn't.

Agents are a user base with no incumbents yet. You want to build for them early.

You've shipped something with AI before. Claude Code and Codex do the typing.

Founder of VibeHub, where he's building a context layer for AI coding agents.

Former Principal AI Scientist and Product Manager at 5C Network, where he shipped LLM-powered tools across 10,000+ daily radiology reports and led deep learning model development across X-ray, CT and MRI.

VibeHub is literally a context layer for AI agents, which maps directly to the Context and Discovery tracks in this buildathon.

A working build you can point an agent at on Monday

One sentence with a number: "failed 8 of 10 tasks, now it does 9"

A live demo where the agent completes a task it couldn't before

Set up Claude, ChatGPT or Codex accounts before you arrive. No build time lost on setup.

Bring a laptop, charged

GrowthX does not profit from this session. The fee is for food and drinks only.

Fee covers snacks and caffeine

Come with a team or form one in the first 30 minutes. Solo works too.

Solo, duo or team

Come with a team or form one. Pick one of the five tracks.

Teams form, tracks picked

Pick a real task an agent can't complete today. Start building the fix.

Build starts

Refuel, swap notes with other teams mid-build.

Snacks and caffeine break

Run the agent live in front of the room. Fail, then succeed.

Live demos begin

Walk out with a working build and a sentence with a number in it.

Wrap

No. You need to be comfortable building with AI tools. If you've shipped anything with AI before, you'll be fine.

Do I need to be a developer?

One small piece of software that an AI agent uses. Usually an MCP server (a plug-in that gives agents a new ability), an API endpoint, a middleware that sits in front of a website, or a dashboard.

What exactly am I building?

Either. Come with your team or form one in the first 30 minutes. Solo is fine too.

Can I come with a team, or will I be matched?

A laptop, a charger, and accounts on whichever agents you'll test with (Claude, ChatGPT or Codex). Set your tools up before you arrive so you don't lose build time.

What do I need to bring?

No. It's in-person only. Live demos are the whole format.

Will this be recorded or run online?

Build For Agents

You build or serve AI systems and want to pressure-test a paper's ideas with peers.

You read papers regularly but rarely get 10 people at a table to debate them.

You work on model serving, distributed training or inference and want applied angles.

Manthan is an AI Research Engineer at Zyphra, focused on inference engineering, GPU kernels and distributed training.

He previously contributed to an open-source agent orchestration project with ~20k stars at Agno and built data infrastructure at Merkle Science handling 50 million daily requests.

His day-to-day work on GPU kernels, model serving and AI systems is exactly the territory these research papers cover.

Udayan is Co-founder and CEO of GrowthX, the community behind this event series.

He was the first growth hire and later Product Lead at Razorpay, building the central growth team across payments, capital and banking.

He designs the small-table, debate-driven formats that GrowthX events run on, including the reviewed-seat and drinks-included structure of Research on Tap.

First, solutions & approaches described in a research paper can often be applied to general ai & engineering problems.

Second, the format is designed to put you with 10 smart peers who are debating and challenging you.

Third, you will do moonshot experiments. Members often tell us that ideas shared here inspired experiments in their companies that they would never have thought of.

The final paper is shared once the session is confirmed. Come with a point of view.

Read the paper before arriving

Skip this event if you don’t drink either of a Beer, Hard Seltzer, Cold Brew coffee or an Energy Drink. Having a drink during the discussion is why it’s called "on tap".

Drinks are part of the format

The event price covers one drink of choice. GrowthX does not make any money out of this.

What the price covers

Every request is reviewed because the table is small. Refunded in full if not approved.

10 seats, requests are reviewed

Everyone at the table, drinks in hand, paper read.

Arrive and settle in

Start with the problem the paper addresses and the choices shaping its solution.

Problem and design choices

Work through the method and question the assumptions.

Method and assumptions

Examine what the results actually establish. Open challenge from the table.

GrowthX

Building the best membership club for professionals. GrowthX exists to give people who take their craft seriously the ecosystem they deserve.

But GrowthX isn’t for everyone. It’s not a course. Not a Slack group. And definitely not another “networking” platform. It’s a private club of 5,500+ operators who lead product, marketing, and growth at companies like Razorpay, Jio, Swiggy, Zerodha, and Freshworks. Founders, VPs, ICs—all united by one obsession: compounding their career and company’s growth.

What they get is an unfair edge. Live learning programs taught by people who’ve actually scaled. Access to a private community that doesn’t tolerate fluff—just sharp questions and sharper answers. Tools to grow into leadership roles, break into new ones, or scale from $0 to $10M if you’re a founder. And yes, they meet offline too. Every month. Roundtables, mixers, deep-dive sessions—held across 7 major Indian cities.

But GrowthX isn’t for everyone. It’s not a course. Not a Slack group. And definitely not another “networking” platform. It’s a private club of 4,000+ operators who lead product, marketing, and growth at companies like Razorpay, Jio, Swiggy, Zerodha, and Freshworks.

Razorpay

Central growth team working across all business lines of Razorpay. (Payments, Capital & Banking)

I transitioned to the Product function to setup the first product growth team at Razorpay. The team built product capabilities that drove growth. from segmentation services, campaign api, to product led sales.

We started GrowthX community as a side hustle to solve our own paint point.

More contexy 👇

All communities that existed were primarily made for folks to help them crack their first job. However, being in mid-senior roles, Udayan at Razorpay and Abhishek at CRED, they wanted a close nit community of operators & founders who they can learn from. They wanted to soundboard, brainstorm & ideate on growth problems. 

We realised that as we grew in our careers, the journey became more and more lonely. To solve this, we started our own community called GrowthX. But we didn’t like the way current communities were setup. We felt they were too superficial. We did not want to connect with 100s of folks and talk about random things.

So we created a different kind of a community– a learning community. The insight was that we truly bond with people who we problem solve with. So, every week we selected 6-8 people, these folks would look at their own company's problem statement and solve it using a Harvard case study format.

Over the 2 years, we built a super strong community of 300 folks. We never wanted to become a large community just for the sake of a vanity number. Our community is characterized by people who keep in touch, who solve problems together, and who form lasting connections.

Over those 2 years, our community asked for longer, more structured version of our meetups- so we launched a 5 week program that teaches folks everything from acquisition, onboarding, engagement, retention & monetization.

We got sold out in 23 hours. And the rest is history.

Your bottleneck is getting users, not building the product.

You want repeatable systems, not one-off campaigns.

You're looking to automate parts of your GTM.

You have a product but no distribution engine yet.

Hitesh is a Core Volunteer at TG10X, Telangana's startup ecosystem initiative, where he curates and leads events for founders and early-stage startups.

He spent 14+ years building B2B SaaS products, including a run at Gainsight from employee 26 to Engineering Manager leading 18 engineers, then founded Motor360 and used AI-assisted workflows to ship with a lean team.

He has built GTM systems under real resource constraints as a founder and consultant, which is exactly what this buildathon asks every attendee to do in 6 hours.

Naganjan is building ReferMyJob and works as a Project Management Coordinator at Verizon.

His background spans operations at CoinDCX, SEO, and human resources, with hands-on experience in onboarding workflows and process coordination.

His operations and process-building experience helps him support a structured, time-boxed buildathon where every attendee ships a working system by end of day.
