Genuine learning is when you come across an insight or knowledge that just makes so much sense..that it sinks in. You don't need to make notes ..never need to recollect it . It stays with you forever.. Artha sessions had many many such nuggets.. Any why ? Because genuine people were speaking distilled information from their vast knowledge bank and truly trying to help... Heartful heartful thanks to Hari TN Debleena Majumdar Hars Saraf Vivekananda Hallekere and Nishchay Ag and all my fellow entepreneurs in the cohort. :) Looking forward to many more opportunities to spend time with the lovely bunch !!!

I learnt how culture building, uncluttered thinking , laser focus is important to an organisation and other nuances of building a company from Hari T.N , Suruchi Maitra. The best part is that his knowledge is not restricted to just big corporates. With this programme, anyone can learn about founding and running a great business.

A few days back I attended a Workshop on Startup Scaling by the Artha School of Entrepreneurship. It covered many aspects of Culture, Leadership, Hiring etc... Amazing sessions by Hari T.N and Suruchi Maitra. Most of the areas were covered by citing real-life examples which made it more interesting.

Thanks to Hari T.N and Suruchi Maitra for leading the workshop with your full heart. Let your journey of giving back help improve more and more entrepreneurs around the world. I thought there would be tips and tricks on how to grow a startup, but instead I heard some great, deep insights through real-life stories and self-assessments.

Some programs are more meaningful and give practical inputs. Had the opportunity to attend - ARTHA SCALEUP workshop conducted KSN Global. It was an awesome program, which gave real perspective on how small and scalable business can be shaped to achieve the objective. Hari is so clear about what he delivers and its bang on the target.
Sumesh Menon
#THub was glad to partner with Artha School of Entrepreneurship to co-organize a scale up program. We congratulate the founders on successfully completing "Artha Scale Program".

Artha Scale Program was hosted by KSN GLOBAL at Kochi on 19/20 Aug 2022. The 2-day program provided early-stage start-up founders the know-how & tools to deal with the most common challenges of scaling. Hari and Suruchi come with decades of experience having built & scaled many successful high growth start-ups. Workshop created a great bond among the founders and the positive vibes will stay for a long period.

I attended intense and invigorating weekend session at the Artha School of Entrepreneurshipand learnt something new that I wish I had known in such detail a few months ago! As an entrepreneur I have been immersed the various aspects of PMF (product market fit) - from having a deep understanding about the need for PMF to actually proving PMF and scaling after having achieved PMF. Fundraising can be an all-consuming part of a founder's life - immersive, exhausting and illuminating....I have never before had to think about "Capital - Business Fit" The two day session outlined not just the importance of finding the right investment partner but also helped us think through which aspects of our business make us a good fit for a certain type of investor. It's a lot more complex than we know - from ticket size to business stage - from industry to business models - there is capital to be had - assuming you knocking on the right doors. These are lessons early stage and first time entrepreneurs would do well with... Thank you Debleena Majumdar and Hars Saraf for your time. Debleena made me think long and hard about the story we are telling; there are lessons I have taken away for life (Purple Prose - IYKYK) and Hars, there was so much more we could have grilled you on! Reach out to Hari TN and Suruchi Maitra to join the Artha School of Entrepreneurship right away - you can thank me later!

A cluttered thought process could potentially spell disaster for your business. Unless you cut through the clutter in the way you plan your business activities, friction and a lack of effectiveness will be your constant companions says Hari T.N. This is going to be massive and will have a large impact on the indian startup ecosystem.

Truly one of the best acceleration programs every attended, which addressed the real pain of every first-time founder.From Founder readiness to building the right culture to attract & retain top talent (at low cost), Hari TN & Suruchi Maitra from Artha School of Entrepreneurship helped us navigate such challenges through uncluttered thinking.
Hemali Turakhia
I recently got an opportunity to participate in the scale up program conducted by Artha School of Entrepreneurship and Kerala Startup Mission.Topics like organizational culture, hiring, storytelling, funding, founder growth and strategy were discussed in detail. All the participants could deeply connect to the faculties Hari TN and Suruchi Maitra since they had immense experience in the start-up ecosystem.Would highly recommend the program for first generation founders like myself.
Vignesh KC
The best of my entrepreneurial journey has been unlocked in this session. Deeply thought through and well-structured program to learn the early nuances of the entrepreneurship which will be the strong base for an inspiring entrepreneur. Hari TN, Debleena Majumdar, Hars Saraf patiently answered all my questions and inspired me to the core to believe that they are the best and it is very much true. Vivekananda Hallekere and Nishchay Ag - wow, it is not their success story, but the growth journey is what we get a chance to hear and learn from. Very fascinating story and lot of insights to take away in a common man language. And the room filled with inspiring founders, which was energizing and motivating me in a way - "long way to go and it's time to bring the best out of you".

What a nostalgic experience being in a classroom session after 4 years, surrounded by brilliant and innovative entrepreneurs, and learning from the expertise of Hari TN & Suruchi Maitra from Artha School of Entrepreneurship!Every word from them resonated with us and helped us navigate our daily startup struggles.Three highlights from yesterday:1) An enthusiastic and vibrant group with brilliant zeal,2) Realizing that we're not alone in our start-up journey, as everyone is sailing in the same boat, and3) Gaining insights from Hari TN's real-life experiences across Big Basket, Daksh, Virtusa, and TaxiForSure.It was truly an inspiring learning session, and I truly appreciate Maharashtra State Innovation Society for making it happen. Excited for the next three days of learning! "Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger or more resilient!"Yesterday's session was all about founder evolution and growth, and it began with this power statement. I quickly returned to thinking about how much stronger I'd become in the last two years. The severity of problems has only increased, but my approach to dealing with them has evolved so much! Hari TN and Suruchi Maitra reminded us yesterday that there is still so much more evolution to come, so much more to deal with!Thank you so much for the most insightful, relevant, detailed & motivational session, Artha School of Entrepreneurship and Maharashtra State Innovation Society! Day 2 couldn't have gone any better 😊

After providing certified courses to more than 2000 design professionals through Delopus, I got the opportunity to be a part of a wonderful course myself with the Artha School of Entrepreneurship. Here are my key takeaways from the program:1. Access to Experienced Startup Mentors: The program had experienced startup mentors, such as Hari TN, Suruchi Maitra & Gargi Raychakraborty, who mentored us about scaling up and provided detailed feedback on our ideas, future plans, and various other aspects of our startups. It was an amazing experience to learn from their insights and experiences.2. Refining Our Pitch: The program helped us to refine our pitch. On the third day, we presented the latest version of our pitch after incorporating the feedback and corrections we received from the program. This was a game-changer for me, thanks to the changes we made, the pitch received great reviews, which was very encouraging.3. Opportunity to Connect with Other Founders: The program provided a great opportunity to meet other founders. It was interesting to see that most of the founders with early revenue or early steady revenue stage faced similar challenges in scaling up. The program's content addressed these challenges and provided us with valuable insights and practical strategies.Overall, I highly recommend the Artha School of Entrepreneurship program to any founder who wants to grow and scale their business. Thank you to the Artha team for a wonderful experience!

I recently did the Scale Program with Artha, an online course with weekly online sessions. I must say there was something very valuable to learn in each session. The entire team at Artha, bring their best with industry examples they helped me out personally as well. Suruchi, Hari, Debleena & Yanesie make a great team and they make sure that individual attention is given to all participants. The course material or Artha Library is an ocean with all important things and each module is made with a lot of research and it shows. The experience is a must for all founders whether early stage or in expansion phase there is something for all.

Fox 🦊 or Hedgehog 🦔How apt is the Product Market Fit if the journey is not profitable for the Business? Should discounts and Sales become a pattern where revenue comes in, but profits could come later? How long?Many Qs and threads of discussions by Hari TN and Suruchi Maitra formed the weekend mentoring session by Artha School of Entrepreneurship as part of Maharashtra State Innovation Society acceleration program 2023. THANK YOU, ‘MARCH’ MUCH: The financially heavy month of March 2023 has been refreshing and insightful - simply because some visionaries led the way with their honest guidance. Artha School of Entrepreneurship acceleration series with Maharashtra State Innovation Society : We had the leading IAS Heads including Manisha Verma Ma’am sitting amidst us and giving her focussed analogies at times too. She is a star! Hari TN and Suruchi Maitra brought along a wave of trust.

In pursuit of learning to become a great leader, I have recently completed the Artha Scale Program by Artha School of Entrepreneurship. It was an eye-opener, running a startup is not just survival and numbers, but building a strong culture, core values and a great team goes a long way and balanced growth. There are many frameworks and self-assessment tools which I am going to run among my teams at Greenworms. I got an opportunity to meet Hari Tn, Suruchi Maitra and Debleena Majumdar from Artha. Must recommend my fellow founders to enrol for this program.

'Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher' What an amazing session with Hari TN Debleena Majumdar Prateek Jain regarding story telling, goal settings and culture.

Last week I had a chance to do some deep reflection on my journey as an Entrepreneur and how we have developed Bharatiya Digital Party (BhaDiPa) and Gulbadan Talkies over the years. Thanks to instruction by Hari TN and the faculty at Artha School of Entrepreneurship I not only learned new tools to prepare us to scale, but I also interacted with a fabulous group of young Marathi entrepreneurs because this was part of the Maharashtra State Innovation Society Startup Accelerator Program.I will take these lessons with me for the rest of my life!

Exciting News! Just wrapped up an incredible cohort experience with 18 other startup founders organized by Kerala Startup Mission and Artha School of Entrepreneurship under the guidance of Hari TN sir and Suruchi Maitra ma'am. As a first-time startup founder, this cohort has been an eye-opener for me in more ways than one. Not only did it provide valuable insights into various frameworks that can help build a scalable business, but it also created a platform for us to connect with fellow startup founders and the esteemed startup specialists, Hari Sir and Suruchi Ma'am. During our meetings, I had the opportunity to present my company NearHat and receive invaluable feedback from both our peers and the experts. It was a remarkable journey that enabled us to identify both our strengths and areas for improvement. The energy, dedication, and passion behind each idea were truly inspiring and moved me in profound ways. It reinforced the notion that startups exist not just for financial gain but for something greater. Moreover, what I found truly amazing about this cohort was the opportunity to forge new connections and find like-minded individuals who share similar interests and ambitions. It's incredible how these cohorts not only foster professional networking but also provide a platform to make lifelong friends. I am immensely grateful to Artha School of Entrepreneurship, Hari Sir, Suruchi Ma'am, KSUM, and my fellow cohort members for this enriching experience. I cannot wait to embark on future opportunities like this, where we can continue to learn, grow, and support each other on our entrepreneurial journeys. If you're a startup founder or aspiring entrepreneur, I highly recommend exploring similar programs. It's an experience that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact and open doors to a vibrant community of like-minded individuals. Here's to the power of cohorts and the endless possibilities they bring!

Entrepreneurship poses many challenges. One of them being losing focus of what you are doing. This last week had been quite enlightening where we went back to classroom to refresh many of the basic things of entrepreneurship. This was enabled by Maharashtra State Innovation Society and Artha School of Entrepreneurship through the 2nd edition of Maharashtra Startup Acceleration Program. Proud moment for THE FILLING STATION, INDIA to be one of the Startups selected for this program.
