Build Financially Strong Startups: Scaling Revenue Before Fundraise
Hosted in collaboration with IDFC First Bank.
Raising capital often dominates the startup conversation. But the strongest companies are built by founders who first learn how to build real revenue, strong fundamentals, and financial discipline.
Join us for an evening designed specifically for early-stage founders building in Mumbai, where we’ll hear candid insights from founders who have navigated the journey of growing revenue and building financially resilient companies.
We’re excited to host:
• Rajdip Gupta — Founder of Route Mobile
• Amit Rathi — Founder of QiCap.ai
This will be an honest and practical conversation on what it really takes to build a financially strong startup — beyond the headlines. Founders will share lessons from their own journeys on navigating early growth, strengthening revenue, and preparing their companies for long-term scale.
In this session, we’ll explore:
• Building financial discipline and runway management in the early years
• The balance between growth, profitability, and fundraising
• How stronger revenue can change investor conversations and fundraising outcomes
• Lessons founders wish they knew before raising their next round
Expect practical insights, real founder stories, and a room full of people actively building companies in Mumbai.
After the conversation, stay back for networking with fellow founders, operators, and ecosystem leaders!
⚠️ Please note: If you register, we request that you make every effort to attend — spots are limited and reserved for founders in the ecosystem.
