ivi Masterclass: The Art of Negotiation | Delhi
As a founder, you negotiate every day.
With investors. With customers. With co-founders. With vendors. With partners. With people you can't afford to lose and deals you can't afford to get wrong.
Most founders go into these conversations on gut feel. No preparation. No structure. No real sense of what the other side is thinking. Sometimes it works. Often it doesn't. And even when it does, you're not sure why.
There is a science behind negotiation. And this masterclass teaches you exactly that.
What is this
A live in-person session on negotiation, led by Prof. Pooja Mishra, Assistant Professor, Organisational Behaviour at ISB. This is the same session ivi founders go through as part of ISB's six-month founder residency.
For one day, we're opening it to founders in Delhi.
You'll walk away with a clear framework for any negotiation — whether you're raising money, closing a deal, or hiring your first key person.
What you'll learn
Why most founders negotiate from a weak position without knowing it
How to prepare before you walk into any important conversation
How to understand what the other side actually wants
How to get a good deal, not just any deal
Who is this for
Founders who are actively building.
Whether you're validating your first product or scaling your venture, this session is for founders who regularly negotiate with investors, customers, partners, employees, or vendors—and want to do it better.
