Last week our Co-founder and Managing Partner, Rajiv Vaishnav joined a dynamic panel moderated by Nirav Shah of PwC, alongside Aniketh Jain of Fyno and Tanmay Saksena of Tata 1mg, at #TiEcon Vadodara 2024, to discuss various approaches to scaling startups sustainably. They focused on the importance of prioritisation during scaling, with a focus on resilience, agility, and strategic resource management, especially in uncertain markets. The panel emphasised that as startups grow they must keep a keen eye on the evolution of their product-market fit by staying closely attuned to customer needs. Sustainability practices, introduced early, were highlighted as a competitive differentiator, and essential for long-term success. The discussion also reiterated the need to balance rapid growth with inculcating a strong company culture to keep teams motivated and aligned. They also flagged off critical factors such as operational challenges, including inefficient processes, talent management, and scaling infrastructure, which could make or break a startup’s scaling journey. The evening indeed offered valuable insights for founders striving to achieve sustainable growth during the scale-up phase. #tieconvadodara #paneldiscussion #scalingstartups #sustainablepractices #talentmanagement #companyculture #tata1mg #pwc #fyno #cornerstoneventures Maulik Bhansali Bharat Bafna Ujwal Makhija
