Industry stalwarts launch a platform to enable companies achieve scale

The Growth Labs believes that any business can be grown multi-fold with the right strategy and execution. Brings the power of experience from industry leaders.

The platform launched by ex Group-COO of Network 18, Alok Agrawal and entrepreneurship maven and Applyifi founder, Prajakt Raut brings together a group of experienced and successful CXOs from different industries to provide advice and assistance to help emerging companies grow multi-fold.

According to Alok Agrawal, Founding Partner, The Growth Labs, “You cannot achieve exponential growth by doing more of the same thing. To grow multifold, companies need to explore new strategies, and, most importantly, achieve significant organizational maturity on processes, people and technology. They also need to get better-prepared for raising capital to support exponential growth.”

“A number of emerging companies, who have scaled up to a level quite rapidly, now need to put together plans, processes, systems, people, infrastructure, sales & distribution and revenue engines to scale to the next level. However, they struggle to cope with this rapid change and need expertise to manage this transformation. Often, they need capital infusion to support this growth. And to attract growth-capital, the business needs to get to a different level of maturity than it currently is.”, says Prajakt Raut, Founding Partner, The Growth Labs.
