The story behind
Our Existence

Abhishek & Udayan (Co-founders of GrowthX) led growth teams at technology companies CRED & Razorpay. There was no playbook on how to solve growth. Every time they were stuck at a growth problem - it was frustrating to find vetted knowledge and people who are in similar journeys.

The idea was simple, write content on LinkedIn & product YouTube videos to attract the right kind of growth leaders to these smaller settings & discuss → help each other solve their growth problems at work - simple!

50+ editions & 300+ members later we got two insights - First, most lacked structure to solve growth & second, everyone loves solving problems together.

We launched a day long masterclass on “Growing your mobile app” & things just blew up. In under 24 hours we had over 126 people paying upfront and joining us in Bangalore. We still remember we had to put up extra seating.

And then the
pandemic hit.

Everything went south on in-person experiences. That’s when we launched our online community & our first learning program that covered all aspects of growth right from acquisition, onboarding, retention & monetisation. The initial community jumped onto this new offering & we quickly grew to first 1,000 members. This learning program is now what has evolved into Advanced Growth Strategy Program that is part of the membership.

In July 2021, Abhishek and Udayan went full time with GrowthX. The community poured love. Our first $1.5 million funding round had participation from Better Capital, Harshil Mathur (Razorpay), Varun Alagh (mamaearth), Kirti Varun (Meesho), Amanpreet (Airbnb). And more importantly, over 212 GrowthX members who became angel investors.

Honestly, we had a ton of help along the way over the past few years from GrowthX members, investors and the larger tech ecosystem. They have mentored people, helped us to get deeper user insights, showed us the mirror when needed, and have truly pushed the positive flywheel in the community.
