Product Growth Playbook: Insights from Top Product Leaders and Founders - Bengaluru Edition
What does real product growth look like when you're building from the ground up?
Join us for an engaging eChai conversation with experienced founders and product leaders as they share honest stories and practical insights from scaling their products, across early bets, pivots, challenges, and growth breakthroughs.
This session goes beyond frameworks and dives into what actually works when you're short on time, resources, and clarity. You’ll hear how different teams approached product-market fit, prioritized features, learned from what didn’t work, and aligned their teams around real outcomes.
Whether you're a founder, product manager, or builder at heart, this meetup is a space to learn, connect, and leave with ideas you can apply right away. As always, come for the insights, stay for the conversations.
