Over the 10 year journey building Flipkart, I saw first-hand the sheer complexity of scaling a startup. I personally never had the privilege of taking a company public as a founder, but as an active investor and advisor to many startups, I am so excited to see many founders preparing for an IPO. This is a fantastic opportunity for our ecosystem to build the next generation of technology-enabled, enduring businesses of the future. While I feel tremendously proud of this “coming-of-age” moment for the Indian startup ecosystem (we could see as many as 75 IPOs in the next 2-3 years!), it’s clear that many founders are still not fully prepared for the complexities in taking their companies public. In the spirit of playing a relevant role in supporting this journey for the Indian startup ecosystem, we are launching the xto10x IPO Academy — a sincere attempt to make the IPO journey a little easier. The program brings together the best faculty (post-IPO founders, industry stalwarts, prominent board members, public market investors, i-bankers and more), powerful playbooks, and a small, tight-knit group of founders to support a company’s journey to IPO and beyond. You can learn more about the academy here: https://lnkd.in/gMhP9eGu If you are a startup founder or CXO planning to IPO in the near future, please register for the curtain-raiser: “Setting Higher Standards to Build Enduring Public Companies,” by Mohandas Pai on 13th September. #ScaleUp #PrivateToPublic #xto10xIPOAcademy
