let’s craft the next 5,000 stories
that make growthx, growthx.

It’s that time of the year again…

This is the GrowthX Offsite. Every year, 300 of our members from 15 Indian cities fly down to Goa to meet, talk, debate, and have fun with people they’ve only seen on Slack or Zoom. The GrowthX offsite is a legend inside the community, selling out not in days but in minutes. Last time, it was 12. Why? It’s not the events that help you reflect and connect with AI leaders, nor the five-star property where everyone gets their own villa. It’s that one time in the year where you can be fully yourself and be around people who help you change orbits for the year ahead.
