About this event
If you're building a product and want growth to come from the product itself, this workshop is built for you. [Pune] PLG Workshop: Building and Scaling Your Product-Led Growth Strategy is a focused in-person session for people who want to move beyond vague growth talk and get clearer on how product-led growth actually works in practice. Whether you're early in your PLG journey or trying to sharpen what already exists, this meetup brings together people in Pune who care about product, adoption, retention, and scalable growth. Expect practical discussion, useful frameworks, and the kind of peer conversation that helps you think more clearly about what to try next. About the Event This is an in-person workshop and community meetup centered on product-led growth (PLG): the discipline of using your product experience to drive acquisition, activation, expansion, and retention. Instead of treating growth as something owned only by marketing or sales, PLG asks a deeper question: how can the product itself create momentum? The format is designed to be interactive and grounded. Rather than a passive lecture, this session is best thought of as a working room for founders, product leaders, operators, and growth-minded professionals who want to unpack what PLG means for real products and real teams. You can expect a mix of structured learning and community exchange. That means you'll have space to explore core PLG ideas, hear how others are thinking about similar challenges, and leave with sharper questions and practical next steps. Because this is happening in person in Pune, the event also creates room for stronger local connections. If you've been looking to meet others working on growth, product strategy, and user experience in the city, this is a strong place to start. What to Expect The workshop will focus on how to build and scale a product-led growth strategy in a way that fits your stage, product, and users. Expect discussion around the building blocks that often shape PLG efforts, such as user onboarding, activation moments, self-serve journeys, retention loops, and how teams prioritize growth opportunities. Rather than staying theoretical, the session is likely to center on practical thinking: what makes a product experience easier to adopt, where users tend to drop off, how product decisions connect to business outcomes, and what it takes to create repeatable growth instead of isolated wins. You can expect a format along these lines: A workshop-style exploration of PLG fundamentals and how they apply across different product contexts Discussion of growth strategy design, from early assumptions to more mature scaling questions Peer learning and conversation with other attendees facing similar product and growth challenges Networking time to continue conversations, exchange perspectives, and build local connections Because this is tagged as a community, networking, meetup, and social event, the value is not limited to the workshop content alone. Some of the most useful insights often come from hearing how other teams are approaching onboarding, pricing, user education, experimentation, and growth ownership. Come ready to think critically about your own product. The more specific your questions are, the more useful the session is likely to be. Why Attend Product-led growth is easy to talk about in broad terms and much harder to apply well. This event is valuable because it creates a space to break the topic down into decisions, systems, and tradeoffs that matter when you're actually building and scaling a product. If you're trying to improve how users discover value, convert from curiosity to meaningful usage, or stick around long enough to become advocates, PLG thinking can help connect product experience to sustainable growth. This workshop gives you a chance to examine that connection more closely. By attending, you can expect to leave with: A clearer understanding of PLG principles and how they relate to your product Better language for diagnosing growth challenges, especially around activation and retention Fresh perspective from peers working across product, growth, and startup environments More confidence in what to test next, whether that's onboarding improvements, self-serve flows, or adoption-focused product changes New local connections in Pune with people who care about building strong products and stronger growth engines This is especially useful if you've felt that your growth efforts are fragmented across teams or driven by tactics without a clear product strategy behind them. A strong PLG approach can help align product decisions with user value in a way that compounds over time. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Pune, India, making it a good fit for attendees who want face-to-face conversation rather than another virtual session. The local format matters: workshops and meetups like this tend to work best when people can compare notes directly, ask follow-up questions naturally, and continue conversations after the structured portion ends. The event takes place on Saturday, November 30 at 3:30 PM GMT+5:30. A weekend afternoon slot makes this accessible for working professionals, founders, operators, and students who want to spend dedicated time learning and meeting others in the ecosystem. A few useful things to keep in mind before you attend: Plan to arrive on time so you can settle in before the workshop begins Bring your current product or growth questions so the session feels directly relevant to your work Be ready to network with people across product, startup, and growth roles Expect an interactive environment, not just a sit-back-and-listen format If you're based in Pune and want a sharper understanding of how product-led growth actually gets built, tested, and scaled, this workshop is a strong use of your Saturday afternoon.
