It’s the first book of its kind on Growth Hacking by 35 National and International entrepreneurs, growth marketers, influencers, thought leaders and successful companies. The ground-breaking insights shared by the contributors of the book are revealing the secrets that fuel the growth of Silicon Valley start-ups.
Talking about the book, Authors, Parul Agarwal & Rohan Chaubey, “the Indian start-up ecosystem has till date taken a traditional approach towards funding, growth and marketing. We have observed that 90 percent of Indian start-ups fail within the first five years (IBM Institute for Business Value and Oxford Economics). Our growth framework and tactics are guaranteed to make start-ups have a longer run than what the report suggests. This is fail-proof as it is tried and tested in Silicon Valley; now we are bringing it to India.”
The book advises the start-ups to have a growth team irrespective of their team and revenue size. Growth Hacking is conducting marketing experiments to uncover creative strategies to acquire and retain customers/users using data. A growth hacker is someone that operates at the intersection of product, marketing, and technology to methodically acquire, activate and retain users/followers/clients.
Growth hacking is about optimization as well as lead generation. Imagine your business is a bucket and your leads are water. You do not want to pour water into a leaky bucket; it is a waste of money. That is why a true growth hacker would care about customer retention.
If you are into any business today then you are using techniques on ‘growth hacking’ directly or indirectly to grow your business.
