How to Build a Unicorn - IIT Delhi Edition
With 300+ investments across the US, India, and global markets, Expert Dojo works closely with founders from the earliest stages — helping them navigate growth, mistakes, and scale across markets.
This session is hosted in collaboration with SwiftSeed, bringing together investors, operators, and founders for an honest, high-signal conversation on building companies that last.
As part of the Expert Dojo India Tour, our General Partners Ashutosh Kumar Jha and Brian Mac Mahon will be joining us in person at IIT Delhi to share what they’ve seen actually work while building companies that last.
This session is designed for founders, operators, and builders who want an honest look at what it takes to build large, meaningful companies — beyond pitch decks and surface-level advice.
What we’ll cover
How founders should think from day one
Common mistakes that slow growth (and how to avoid them)
What truly separates enduring companies from the rest — markets, timing, execution, and founder mindset
Lessons from scaling companies across geographies and cycles
