A lot of startups have non-MBA founders and probably first-generation entrepreneurs. Upekkha has been very helpful to understand how global companies should be thinking. We had been making decisions based on our experience, guts, and intuition. Upekkha frameworks helped us get clarity and showed us the light towards the direction of the company. Upekkha is not just a startup accelerator, they are a founders accelerator.
Upekkha has played an important role in the founder's mindset change. After joining Upekkha, many things have improved. The way we think, we work, we manage team, we set our goals & plans. It's not easy but still, everything seems realistic and doable now.
Zoconut

The Upekkha Tribe made up of other B2B SaaS Founders have all either gone through the same problems before, or are going through them. Discussing what worked for the others and what didn't, has been truly helpful to Zoconut's growth. The Tribe Founders also become like your friends, cheering for you and being there for you, just a phone call away
Sometimes you need an outside-in perspective to help you move towards your goal by quickly identifying your critical bottlenecks and biases. For us, Upekkha did exactly the same. We are learning from the best-in-class mentors and superb founders - the Upekkha Tribe. They take a personal interest in your growth and development which is quite rare to find. Their perspective and insights help you avoid making the same mistakes and grow rapidly. For iFlyChat, this has been a game-changer and put us on the path to hockey stick growth.
There is a proverb - "Clarity is power". Everything else falls into place with Upekkha. You get "clarity" in your strategy & "power" for its execution. Way to go Upekkha.

Upekkha has skin in the game. If your startup fails, they don’t get paid. If your startup doesn’t scale to revenue targets, they don’t get paid. This level of commitment not only needs a leap of faith but also clarity of thought.

Tars
Tars
Tars is a website and WhatsApp Chatbot implementation software to improve customer engagement and increase conversion.
If I had to sum up our last 18 months of Upekkha in one word, it would be CLARITY! Clarity in terms of segment, market, goals and bottleneck and eventually what we need to build.
I love the community aspect of it, and the feeling that We are not alone in this journey. There are others just like us, with very similar problems and struggle, who are willing to help us, or atleast listen out the problem. I think a community like this is only possible if you have a common vision and goal to work towards. But just an end vision of "Success" is like a black box, very hard to communicate about, so you need a common language which opens up that black box and understand it in all its complexity and simplicity.
Tagalys

Data-driven online merchandising for eCommerce product listing pages helping retailers.
Joining Upekkha is the best decision we ever took. We've grown 6X in under 18 months. Their thought process and method of operation are groundbreaking.
As a startup that has been to 3 "accelerators", I feel a stronger sense of camaraderie in this Upekkha cohort. We came in apprehensive, we leave confident.
SocialPilot
SocialPilot
SocialPilot is a social media scheduling and marketing tool.
Upekkha has been nothing short of enlightenment for both SocialPilot and me personally. I think we were doing too many things without a structure, but Upekkha has helped us sort out our priorities and cut down clutter to focus on things that will move the needle.
Upekkha cleared many biases we had and opened our minds to new ways of thinking about segments, product roadmap, traction and many more valuable nuances that drive SaaS businesses forward. We have all read a lot of theories from various blogs and articles, but listening to the ins and outs of what worked and what did not, from other founders who have already achieved success by implementing these Value SaaS frameworks in their business, gave us much-needed confidence and a lot more clarity.
SendX
SendX
SendX is a 360-degree email marketing automation platform for B2B companies and bloggers.
1.01^365 = 37.8; 0.99^365 = 0.03 Upekkha adds that extra 0.02 in terms of clarity. For us at SendX it has forced us to ask a lot of really hard questions everything from what problem we are solving, for whom are we solving, the value we are delivering and whether we are communicating to our end customers
Upekkha has been a major eye-opening experience in terms of understanding the fundamental directions we've missed or haven't understood well enough. Right from founder alignment and getting rid of our inherited biases, to thinking from the customer and data angles, we're aiming for significant mindset shifts both individually and as a company. The one-on-one sessions and exercises on creating the operation plan for the medium term compelled us to acknowledge our real bottlenecks.
RippleHire
RippleHire
A gamified employee referral product of recruiters, for recruiters to make recruiting effortless, human, and delightful.
Upekkha is helping me see and build the rocket for the Rocketship that RippleHire is. Building an authentic community that is driven by the same language, metrics, problems is hard. Kudos for bringing in good founders and helping us all as we traverse the path from good to great. Changing mindsets is very hard and yet I see that change in our team
While sessions with Upekkha team and other speakers have been great, we have learn a lot from the other startups in the cohort too. Having a focused group of b2b SAAS staartups at a similar point in their journey meant we had a lot of the same problems. We exchange ideas and learn first hand of the problems in various customer segments (smb vs enterprise, India vs US etc) and the approaches taken by others to solve them.

Upekkha is not just about the frameworks and the tactics. We are very energized after every Upekkha and weekly business reviews. I can't imagine how we will be able to pull through without Upekkha. What is mind-blowing is that graduating member's first cohort have all become angels of Upekkha. The UpekkhaTribe is very strong with everyone invested in other's success too

Upekkha is a tribe of high-quality mentors & high-caliber founders who work together to make sure each one us builds a world-class business and empowers everyone we associate with. One of the best decisions I have made, my only regret is I should have enrolled earlier.

I recommend Upekkha to any SaaS founder who is looking for a global footprint. We had somehow believed that we have product-market fit and wanted to raise money to burn for sales and marketing. Upekkha's first sprint introduced several tools that will help us to focus on 'the main offering' that can achieve your goal of a million. It is a tribe of Saas founders helping each other to grow and achieve the goal of $1M sales.

Upekkha is an exceptional program for Indian SaaS companies & founders. As a first-time founder for me, the first sprint was a great learning curve and a chance to enter a community of smart companies that have been there and done it before. It has provided me frameworks and a network that I can go-to to propel my company in the right direction.
Support & the clarity Upekkha provides in strategy planning & decision-making has been a great experience for GimBooks. Amazing insights on things that we were ignoring due to lack of clarity on the right approach.

Upekkha helped us pause, observe and reflect on what needs to be done next. This is an amazing experience as the traditional sense of a startup is to accelerate, keep moving and break things.
Upekkha helps SaaS companies find the product-market fit and also helps you to identify the possible mistakes which you would have occurred and wasted a good amount of time.
Upekkha helped us see our business as a long-term SaaS flywheel rather than one enterprise customer project after other. We learnt a lot during the sprints. Now it’s time for the application. Upekkha folks are genuine, they want to help SaaS companies to succeed. They helped us figure out a framework approach to the whole SaaS business building mystery.

I take care of the business side overlooking sales, marketing, operations and finance.
Upekkha definitely makes a lot of sense for the Indian SaaS entrepreneurs who dream to make it big. Going through the Techstars program as well I can clearly see how the Upekkha program makes more sense.
Upekkha is unlike any other accelerator, In Upekkha you not only learn the right way to execute, but they are also with you in the execution journey till you get it right. This hand-holding along with the tribe is important along the journey.
One must face the hard reality when running a business. Upekkha does that for us. it keeps us on our toes and constantly moves us out of our comfort zone. The only program where you will learn and grow - both business-wise and personal.
Upekkha has helped us solve many of our startup problems and take Classpro to the next level. Their Value SaaS growth frameworks and the community of founders are the best part of it all. Their actionable advice and support have helped us know where we go wrong, what we need to do, how to think through founder biases, and how to stay focused on our goals.
Being a part of the Upekkha community has helped us drive iMocha in the right direction. Right from setting up our targeting definitions, finalizing our messaging and deciding on funding, the guidance has helped us scale our journey as a startup and avoid the pitfalls other startups usually succumb to in the race to becoming a unicorn.
Interview Mocha was able to reach $1m in ARR and create a path for $5 million with help of the Upekkha team (Prasanna, Rajan, Shekhar). Upekkha team is a 24 hours bouncing bag to get your strategies validated. They are always there for you.

Upekkha has been that avenue for me to take a step back and think about what we're really trying to do with Almabase. They have been a great at asking the right questions to help us find our own answers. I strongly feel it's making me a better entrepreneur!"

I lead marketing at iZooto. Ensuring that we are generating enough leads to keep our sales team busy.
Upekkha - the mentors and the tribe have been, are, and will be our go-to place to learn and share everything that there is about building a b2b saas business. Upekkha's contribution goes beyond helping us scale iZooto or helping us grow as founders and can't be explained in words.
We are excited to be a part of Upekkha's first batch. The journey for a bootstrapped saas business needs to be laser-focused and centered around value creation. This is precisely what Prasanna and Shekhar bring to the table. The engagement process and frameworks that were outlined in the last 5 days, help us prepare for both known unknowns and unknown unknowns. As a founder, I am going back to my team with a crystal clear view of what needs to be achieved in the next 4 months.
If you are a SaaS business operating out of India and haven't spoken to the monks at Upekkha, you're missing out on something big.
