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.

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.
