- Stanford Seed event at T-Hub Hyderabad to feature Vamsi Udayagiri
Hyderabad: Stanford Seed will host a leadership conversation titled “Beyond Founder-Driven Growth: Building a Company That Scales” on Thursday, 12 March. The event will take place from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM at T-Hub in Hyderabad. The in-person session will bring together growth-stage founders and CEOs to discuss how companies can move beyond founder-led execution and achieve institutional scale.
The Stanford Seed leadership conversation aims to create an open platform for entrepreneurs who want to expand their companies in a structured way. Organisers said the event will have limited seats and no registration fee. Therefore, it seeks to make world-class insights accessible to ambitious founders in the region.
The session will feature Vamsi Udayagiri, Founder and CEO of Hesa. He will share practical lessons from building and scaling his company. Meanwhile, he will also discuss the challenges founders face as their organisations grow beyond the early stages. The conversation will focus on leadership changes needed to create systems that support long-term growth.
“Scaling a company is not just about growing revenue; it’s about building systems, leaders, and a culture that can thrive without the founder at the center of every decision,” said Vamsi Udayagiri, Founder and CEO of Hesa. “I look forward to sharing practical lessons from our journey and engaging with fellow founders who are navigating similar transitions.”
The event will also feature insights from Jeffrey Prickett, Global Director of Stanford Seed. He will provide an overview of the Stanford Seed Transformation Program. This ten-month program supports founders and CEOs of growth-stage companies with annual revenues between $300,000 and $15 million.
Participants in the program receive leadership development support, strategic guidance, and access to a global network. The program focuses on helping companies scale effectively while maintaining responsible and sustainable growth.
“The Seed Transformation Program is designed for founders ready to scale with purpose and confidence,” said Harish Arnezath, Regional Director of Stanford Seed South Asia. “We equip business leaders to create ownership-driven cultures that sustain systemic growth, moving beyond founder-driven models to enterprises built for scale, anchored by a powerful peer tribe that accelerates the journey.”
Stanford Seed, part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, organised the Hyderabad session to strengthen entrepreneurship in emerging markets. The event will bring together experienced leaders and founders to share ideas and practical insights.
Organisers said the conversation will encourage dialogue among entrepreneurs who are working to build sustainable businesses. Through discussions and shared experiences, the session aims to help founders move beyond founder-driven growth and build organisations capable of long-term success.
