Groww x Basecamp: Building for the First 1,000 vs Building for a Crore

Join us for an insightful session exploring how product strategies evolve from serving the first 1,000 users to catering to a crore users! 🚀🌍

Groww, India's leading investment platform, is making waves with its innovative products like W, 915, MF Prime, and US Stocks. This event will dive deep into the significant shifts that occur at different scales and what you should avoid in the early stages.
