Abhishek Patil

GrowthX · Bengaluru

Co-founder of GrowthX, the India community where growth and GTM people go to level up their craft and careers

Why they're worth your time

Useful mostly if you are early in a GTM career in India and want the ladder made explicit: what a growth or marketing role actually contains at an Indian startup, what the next rung looks like, and how people who got there did it. GrowthX's own growth is also a clean, watchable case of content led community building.

Background

Abhishek Patil co-founded GrowthX with Udayan Walvekar after both led growth teams at Indian technology companies including CRED and Razorpay. GrowthX is a private India based community of several thousand vetted product, marketing and growth people, running peer groups and structured learning across the country. The company itself was built the way it teaches: writing on LinkedIn and publishing YouTube content to pull in the exact audience it wanted, then converting that into membership.

April Dunford Toronto
The person most B2B teams learn positioning from, and the author of Obviously Awesome and Sales Pitch She turns positioning from a vague branding exercise into a repeatable exercise: list your true competitive alternatives, isolate the features only you have, work out the value those unlock, and name the market segment that cares most. Her Sales Pitch work is the rare material that connects that positioning to the actual words a rep says on a call. PositioningICPSales processCategory design
Pete Kazanjy Atrium · San Francisco
Author of Founding Sales, the handbook that popularised founder led sales Founding Sales is the most concrete text available on the exact stretch most founders get wrong: your first 10 customers, your first rep, and the handoff between the two. He is unusually specific about call structure, discovery questions, and what a founder should measure before hiring anyone into sales. Sales processOutboundGTM hiringEnterprise sales
Jason Lemkin SaaStr · San Francisco
Founder of SaaStr, the largest body of public writing on scaling B2B SaaS revenue He answers the operational questions almost nobody publishes numbers for: when to hire your first VP of Sales, what a rep should actually close, how long ramp really takes, and why most VP hires fail in the first 90 days. Read him for benchmarks and hiring sequencing rather than for strategy. GTM hiringEnterprise salesSales processPricing
Kyle Poyar Growth Unhinged · Boston
Writes Growth Unhinged, the working reference on product led growth, pricing and packaging He publishes the actual benchmarks and teardowns behind PLG rather than the theory: free to paid conversion rates by category, what usage based pricing does to net revenue retention, and how specific companies structured their packaging. His pricing work is the strongest public material on changing a price without breaking your funnel. PLGPricingInbound & contentRetention & expansion
