Co-Founder & CEO
GrowthX was a great experience for me. Being part of GrowthX gave invaluable knowledge and a great network of both industry experts and potential partners. The team has created a very well-rounded accelerator program that allows you to take what you need and expand your network with other dedicated entrepreneur. I especially thanks - Ajay, Shweta, Abhay and Kanish for always been helpful and for giving a lot of valuable advice!.
Founder & CEO
GrowthX is not just another accelerator program that promises facetime with advisors and industry experts. The intent with which the agenda of the program is crafted is clear - :We are here to help you in every aspect of your business". Each and every session with growthX has added value to my company, some of the ideas have been implemented by us immediately. Not only that, even the sequence of the sessions were designed with a lot of thought. Coming to the cohort, it uplifted and motivated me to be with such a group of dynamic entrepreneurs, each with a mission and clear vision of their startups. To summarize, I found a client, partner, legal advisor and designer in this 8 weeks program - this is rare to find in any accelerator program.
CEO & Co-Founder
This is one of the best programme that I have attended though virtually. The quality of the mentors and their experience was really good and we learnt a lot from their sessions and experiences. The team from GrowthX very diligently shared the schedule of the sessions each week before hand with us and they even went a mile ahead with reminders till the last minute of the session(s). I even would like to compliment that the all ladies cohort was really well chosen from diverse sectors and I have learnt from each of them. I wish GrowthX all the best for their future endeavours and I hope to stay in touch.

When I heard about GrowthX WE Sprint – I thought – Ohh yet another typical woman focused program where we will be taught about how to do balance our work and life.. have some unstructured sessions etc. But when I spoke to Ajay in person, I sensed that the team is actually have good plans to make a difference for the members coming on board. And I was not wrong!
The program is well planned. The sessions are from experts of various domain. The peer startups are diverse in the nature and Most importantly the team exactly knew what content to provide as an accelerator.
I highly recommend this program to my fellow woman entrepreneurs!

Being a part of the GrowthX WE Sprint Batch 01 was a delight. The program provided a comprehensive understanding of various perspectives in business that are critical for any early-stage start-up like LabelBlind®. The experts and professionals we interacted with during the program were hand-picked and added value to our thought process. All of this along with sharing space with a bunch of talented, outstanding founders was a great learning experience. I am thankful to Ajay, Shweta, Kanish, Abhay and the SR team for building this property. Best of Luck.
