Funding Readiness Masterclass
Most founders start with the question “How do I raise money?” without first asking whether they should. This often leads to raising too early, losing time, giving away too much control, and building a business that is not yet ready for external capital.
This session turns “funding readiness” into four clear behavioural questions that show whether you’re ready to raise or still need stronger foundations. By the end, you’ll have a simple diagnostic score and clarity on whether your next step is to raise, prepare, or continue building first.

Dipak Sanghvi
Dipak Sanghavi started with a small family food business and a simple question: how do you turn something local into something that lasts?
The answer took 30 years to build. Nilon’s is now a ₹500 Cr FMCG company – the largest player in pickles and ginger garlic paste across Bharat, distributed across 6 lakh outlets through an 800-member sales force he built from scratch.
Beyond Nilon’s, he has built and scaled fitness ventures, FitTech platforms, and invested across emerging categories.
His mission now: share everything that took 30 years to learn, so the next generation does not have to spend 30 years learning it.
