What founders say
From founders who've been in a ScaleME room.
Attendees on the last ScaleME SummitMurali Bukkapatnam, former TiE Global Chair and adviser to ScaleME
By Day 2 we had built an actual workflow for our procurement team. This isn't a seminar. I left with something running.
DA
Deepti AgarwalFounder, Samatvam Living
I needed my team to actually use AI, not just talk about it. ScaleME gave us a repeatable framework we implemented the following week.
GS
Gaurav SharmaFounder, Proficon Labs
Practical, grounded, and immediately applicable. Any manager can run with this, not just IT.
That's the stage the content and the attending funds are built for. Slightly under? Register with your real number; we review each one.
No. Meetings are optional and only set up if you ask for them on the form. Plenty of founders come for the playbook and AI tracks alone.
Yes. Add seats in the pricing card; one registration covers all of them. We'll collect attendee names after payment.
Pay after we confirm you. ₹3,999 + GST per seat till 15 Nov, ₹6,999 + GST after. Full refund till 30 Nov; seat transfers within your company up to 48 hours before.
Yes. Two of the three engines, the growth playbook and AI, are about running a better company whether or not you ever raise.
