Bangalore, India - 24 February 2025
GrowthX, a community of 3,700+ product, marketing & business leaders is partnering up with Zero1, the media network by Zerodha. The core shared mission is to help more people learn how to build and scale businesses in India.
Where it all started
In 2021, Abhishek Patil and Udayan Walvekar, the founders of GrowthX, were leading large parts of growth at CRED and Razorpay. While India’s startup ecosystem was booming, they noticed a big problem. A lot of professionals & founders in the space lacked structure & actionable frameworks to scale their businesses, the way it was happening in the US.
“India had plenty of case studies and breakdowns. But, people kept us asking us for real, actionable insights they could take and use in their work. So, we got to it & started making more videos.” said Abhishek Patil, the co-founder of GrowthX.
In the early days, GrowthX started out as a small but engaged community which was driven by real feedback from people applying our insights to their work. This sparked the journey of GrowthX Media, a content and education platform dedicated to breaking down the complexities of building and scaling businesses in India.
The journey so far
As GrowthX reached a broader audience of young, curious folks who were hungry to learn, we doubled down by creating GrowthX Media. Over time, we evolved. From shooting videos in Third Wave Coffees and Razorpay’s office to running a dedicated creative studio. From just a few thousand views to a family of millions of engaged viewers. But through all of this, one thing remained the same: our mission - to help more people understand how careers & businesses are built, scaled, and sustained in India.
Today, we reach an audience of:
- 120M+ total channel views
- 10M+ views per month
- 100K+ views/episode
- 500K+ subscribers
"GrowthX has been producing high quality educational content on YouTube for a long time now - Wireframe remains one of my favourite video IPs on YouTube. As a GX member, I am delighted that GrowthX's YouTube channel is a part of the Zero1 Media Network - this ensures that team GX has even more resources to provide high quality educational content on Indian startups, technology & strategy to a wider audience.” Rahul Mathur | Associate Vice President | DeVCGrowthX member since 2024
Partnering with Zerodha: A new chapter
Today, GrowthX is taking the next step by joining forces with the Zerodha Media Network. In our journey to help folks learn how to grow their businesses & careers in India, we’ve found just the right people.
"We are fundamentally bullish on India’s business ecosystem and more importantly the builders behind it. We do not take shots at companies when they’re down. It’s not a zero sum game. We’ve made conscious calls to never take shots at any company or punch them when they’re down” said Abhishek Patil, co-founder of GrowthX.
What's next: Building for India's $10T future
India's GDP stands at ~$3 trillion today. To reach $10 trillion by 2030, more businesses need to be built and more people must learn how to scale them. In the coming months, GrowthX Media will continue to share the stories of great Indian businesses and break down the insights behind their success and also simplify government policies and macroeconomic shifts, to make sure more people understand the broader picture behind business growth.
This partnership with Zerodha will help us in building an ecosystem where more people (founders, leaders, and operators) can get access to insights, play books and the right tools they need to create, build, and grow.
“I enjoyed my chat on GrowthX Inner Circle. It’s clear they’ve built a well-oiled engine for conversations around India’s startup ecosystem. We are at an inflection point, and access to actionable insights is critical for founders and operators. GrowthX has built a strong community around this mission. Glad to see their new partnership, which is a natural next step in driving meaningful conversations around business growth, policy shifts, and macro trends. Excited to see how this powers more builders to scale in India’s $10T journey.” Aviral Bhatnagar | Founder and Managing Partner | AJVC
