xto10x Technologies

xto10x Technologies helps startups and growing companies manage the problems that come with scaling. Its approach is built around what it calls ten core scaling pillars, covering growth, organisation design, planning and people.

The firm was co-founded by Binny Bansal, who co-founded Flipkart, with Saikiran Krishnamurthy as co-founder and chief executive. Krishnamurthy previously spent 15 years at McKinsey & Company before senior roles at Flipkart's Ekart and at Ola. The company says it has worked with more than 450 companies, and that over 70,000 employees across 200-plus organisations have used its work.

Its offer is split between consulting services and cohort-based learning. The newest programme, the IPO Academy, takes a group of eight companies through preparation for a public listing over two to three years, including an investor dry run with institutional investors.
