01THE PLAYBOOK

How founders break through the ₹50 Cr and ₹100 Cr walls.

Most SMEs stall at the same two points. Operators who got past them are on stage with the decisions that worked, and the ones that cost them years.

  • Distribution, pricing and margin: what actually moved the number
  • Building the first real leadership layer under the founder
  • Founder roundtables by sector and revenue band
  • A 12-month growth plan you fill in during the day

02THE FUEL

Capital that fits your plan. Not the other way round.

25+ fund houses are in the room. You decide if, when and how: equity, debt, or the NSE listing route. Meetings are optional and matched to what you told us.

  • Capital Clinic: what funds look for at ₹25 to 250 Cr, in plain language
  • Optional curated meetings with PE, VC, family offices and SME AIFs
  • NSE EMERGE explained by the people who run it
  • Walk out knowing which route fits, even if the answer is "not yet"

03AI

AI: grow to ₹250 Cr without growing headcount 10x.

  • Live demos: AI agents running real SME workflows
  • Where AI pays back first: sales, marketing, finance, ops, service, hiring
  • Your 90-day AI roadmap, built in the session
  • Examples from Indian SMEs that have already made the shift
