Marico Chairman Harsh Mariwala, who is one of India's most admired business leaders, has thrown open the doors to what it actually takes to grow a startup from ₹100 crore to ₹1,000 crore and more. His fundamental takeaway: "What worked at ₹100 crore did not work at ₹1,000 crore"-underlining that every stage of growth requires a new approach.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Reinvent or Stagnate: Mariwala emphasizes that entrepreneurs need to reinvent their systems, processes, and even leadership style continuously. What drives growth in one phase can turn into a bottleneck in the next. Holding on to past ways can lead to stagnation.
  • Leadership Evolution: Scaling up is as much a matter of personal evolution as it is about business expansion. Leaders need to be open to unlearning, learning, and empowering new talent so that they do not become the bottleneck in their company's growth.
  • Culture of Experimentation: Mariwala advocates for a culture of "intelligent failures"-calculated risk-taking and learning from failure. Such an attitude, he believes, is critical for innovation and sustainable success.
  • Consumer Centricity and Flexibility: He credits Marico's consistent growth to its continuous consumer centricity, flexibility in adapting to changing markets, and readiness to shift into new categories and geographies.
  • Mentorship and Great Teams: Through the Marico Innovation Foundation, Mariwala believes in mentorship and creating teams smarter than the founder, cultivating an empowerment culture and learning ethos.
His counsel to business leaders is straightforward yet deep: "Growth demands self-renewal-both for businesses and their leaders."
