Agenda

An evening with Harsha Vardhan Addanki on changing direction, and on building across more than one sector.

Founder journeys get retold as straight lines. The real ones rarely are.

Harsha has built across clinical research and IT, then hospitality and family stays, and now medical tourism. The interesting part is the turns between them: how you read the moment to hold a direction versus change it, and what actually carries over when you walk into a sector that plays by different rules.

Come with the call you are sitting on, the second market you keep eyeing, or the pivot you cannot stop circling. You will leave with sharper questions and a few founders who have been through some version of it.

Agenda:

Building a food brand that scales is hard. The early traction is one thing. Turning that into a brand that holds up as it grows, across teams, locations, and demand, is a different challenge altogether. It takes the right growth choices, operations that do not break under scale, and a clear sense of the economics that keep it all healthy.

We will hear from food founders who have built and scaled their brands. They will talk about when and how to grow, how to keep quality consistent as the brand expands, what to standardize and what to leave flexible, and how to think about partners and franchising as part of the journey.

We will get into the unit economics too. What a healthy model looks like, how the numbers shift as you scale, what support a growing brand actually needs, and the mistakes that cost the most in the early push to expand.

If you are building a food brand and thinking about how to scale it, come join the conversation.

Address: DevX Hitec City, 4th Floor, Purva Summit, Kondapur, Whitefields, HITEC City, Hyderabad, Telangana 500081.

Date & Time: June 13th, Saturday. 6 pm to 8 pm.

This meetup is free and open for all.
