Org Design for Scaleups.
Diagnose. Design. Architect. Execute. Evolve.

The most comprehensive Indian org design programme. Growth bands, Star Model + 7S diagnostics, spans and layers math, decision rights design, operating model selection, job architecture, comp linking, org charts, reorg execution, continuous evolution.

Next cohorts: June–August 2026. Open registration. Founding pricing.

01 / Why this programme

Most scaleup reorgs are gut-feel.

"Add a layer here. Move that team there. Hope it works." That is the actual reorg methodology at most Indian scaleups.

CHROs and COOs face structural decisions monthly. New funding round → reorg. M&A → reorg. Leadership change → reorg. Each handled with a whiteboard session, a few peer-company calls, and gut judgment. Six months later, the next reorg.

This programme is the alternative. Diagnostic frameworks, spans and layers calculations, decision rights design, operating model selection, job architecture down to job codes, linked compensation framework, org chart construction, reorg execution, and quarterly evolution cadence.

09 / Common questions

Frequently asked.

How is this different from MBA org design modules?
MBA modules teach Galbraith Star and McKinsey 7S at framework level. They don't teach the calculations (span of control, layer reduction value-at-stake), the architecture (job families, codes, positions), or the comp linking that turn frameworks into defensible reorg plans. We teach all of it.
Do you really cover job architecture and comp linking?
Yes. Module 7 walks through 4-level architecture (Function → Family → Role → Job Code/Position) with a full worked example for a 350-person scaleup. Module 8 covers the 5-layer comp stack including Bangalore-anchored bands with geographic differentials and IC vs Manager parity.
How technical is the spans and layers module?
Calculator and spreadsheet workflow. High-school math ceiling. The methodology is designed for senior HR and founder-type participants, not analysts.
My company is small (50–100 people). Is this for me?
Yes — this is the most critical inflection. Most structural problems at 200–500 employee stage trace back to org design decisions made at 50–150. Best time to invest in design rigour is before the chaos.
Can my capstone be presented to my actual Board?
That's the design intent. Many participants present their capstone — reorg plan, decision rights charter, spans/layers restructure, job architecture & comp alignment — to their actual CEO or Board within 30–60 days.
How is this different from a consulting engagement?
Consulting firms charge ₹50–80 lakhs for an org redesign over 4–6 months and produce slides. This programme builds your team's capability in 4 weeks for ₹19,999.
