  • Scaling Up Startups: TiE Pune to Hold Interactive Peer Learning Event

    TiE Pune

    Pune: TiE Pune is set to host an interactive breakfast session on Wednesday, April 30, focused on addressing the real-world challenges faced by founders as they scale their startups. The session will take place from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM at Shekhar Natu Hall, MCCIA – 5th Floor, ICC Trade Tower, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune-16.

    Titled “Scaling Up: Challenges and Learnings from Peers Within Pune,” the session aims to provide early- and growth-stage founders with an opportunity to reflect on their scaling journeys through proven frameworks, peer insights, and interactive discussions.

    Why Founder-Led Sales Is Your Best GTM Strategy in the Early Stage

    The event will bring together local entrepreneurs in a candid and collaborative setting to identify bottlenecks in business growth, categorize them into core pillars, and explore solutions that have worked for others in similar stages. The session emphasizes learning from real experiences — not theory — and offers a platform for mutual support and knowledge sharing among Pune’s startup community.

    Participants can expect to:

    Identify and categorize their scaling challenges using structured frameworks

    Gain actionable insights through peer stories and open dialogue

    Receive feedback from both expert faculty and fellow entrepreneurs

    Sanjeev Sanyal Advocates Risk-Taking and Creative Destruction

    Every founder’s growth journey is unique — but the roadblocks often aren’t. This session is built around the idea that solutions are often found within the community. When founders share what’s working and what isn’t, everyone grows.

    Free for TiE Pune Members

    The event is free for TiE members and offers limited seats. Interested participants can register at: TiE Pune Breakfast Session – April 30
