About the Event

Most businesses don’t lose money in big, obvious ways. They lose it in small, invisible leaks — duplicate subscriptions, untracked reimbursements, vendor overpayments, missed GST credits, petty cash that never reconciles. Individually they look like rounding errors. Added up over a year, they’re lakhs walking out the door.

This session is about finding that money before it disappears.

Speaker

S
Siva Rama Krishna
Corporate Payment Consultant
CUPI

Siva works with growth-stage businesses to diagnose and close expense leakages — helping finance teams move from manual reconciliation to real-time spend visibility using UPI-native infrastructure.

What You’ll Learn

  • The most common places expense leakage hides in a growing business — and why finance teams routinely miss them
  • How to read your own spend data to catch leaks early, before they compound
  • A simple framework to put spend controls in place without slowing your team down
  • The true cost of manual reimbursements and reconciliation, measured in both rupees and hours
  • How modern UPI-based corporate payments close these gaps in real time
  • Live Q&A with Siva to pressure-test your own numbers

Who Should Attend

Founders & Co-founders Who approve spends but don’t have full visibility into where the money actually goes.
CFOs & Finance Heads Trying to tighten unit economics and extend runway.
Finance & Accounts Managers Handling reimbursements, vendor payments, and reconciliation day-to-day.
COOs & Operations Leaders Who own budgets across teams and need spend accountability.
Scaling Leaders Any leader whose company is growing faster than the systems tracking its expenses.

About CUPI

CUPI 🦁 ISO 27001 Certified

CUPI is a corporate expense-management platform built on UPI. Each employee gets a UPI-enabled app linked to the company’s current account, so they pay business expenses directly from a shared corporate wallet — no cards, no cash advances, no reimbursement cycles.

Admins set per-user spend limits, track every transaction live, upload receipts on the spot, and get audit-ready, GAAP-aligned reports from a single dashboard.

#HIRING : Global Sales Lead

📍 Koramangala, Bangalore (Work from Office) 

🧳 2–4 Years Experience

About the Role

We’re looking for a sharp, energetic B2B Sales Lead who can represent our brand on the global stage. This is a field-heavy, relationship-first role. If you love meeting people, attending events, sniffing out opportunities, and closing deals — this one’s for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Actively travel to and represent the company at industry events, conferences, and networking meetups.
  • Research and build a robust prospect pipeline — identify potential clients in enterprise and mid-market segments

  • Pitch brand solutions to Business Leads, CMOs, founders and decision-makers at enterprise clients
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with agencies, media buyers, and brand teams
  • Create tailored proposals and presentations
  • Track pipeline progress, update CRM, and report on key metrics to the founder

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–4 years of B2B sales experience with exposure to US and/or European markets
  • Experience in brand solutions, media sales, or agency environments strongly preferred
  • Proven track record in outbound sales — cold outreach, prospecting, and pipeline building
  • Enterprise selling experience — ability to navigate long sales cycles and multiple stakeholders
  • A genuine love for networking — you’re the person who leaves every event with 10 new contacts
  • Comfortable with frequent travel and representing the company at external events
  • Pre-sales or sales development backgrounds considered if complemented with strong communication and closing aptitude

Nice to Have

  • Agency background (media, creative, or marketing agency experience)
  • Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
  • Understanding of the brand marketing ecosystem — how brands buy media, sponsorships, or solutions

Why Join Us

  • Direct access to the founder — high-ownership, low-bureaucracy environment
  • Global exposure from Day 1 — US and Europe markets
  • Travel budget and support for attending industry events
  • Strong base + performance incentives

A New Road Ahead.

by with No Comment Announcements

5 years ago, I started The Builders Club with a simple belief –
builders need builders.

Not cold intros.
Real conversations.
Real context. Real trust.

Over time, something became very clear to me.

While D2C founders have plenty of networks, playbooks, and distribution paths, B2B companies selling to mid-market and enterprise struggle quietly.

Great products.
Strong teams.
But no real access to decision-makers.

Enterprise GTM is not a lead problem.
It’s a connection problem.

That insight is shaping the next chapter of The Builders Club.

Today, we’re evolving our identity – new logo, clearer focus – and launching TBC GTM Services.

Before
After

TBC B2B GTM Services

This is our consulting and execution arm for B2B companies selling to mid-market and enterprise clients.

What we help with:

  • Designing and executing enterprise-ready GTM strategies
  • Getting you connected to the right buyers in US, Dubai, Singapore, and India
  • Community-driven GTM through:
    • Content-led authority building
    • Account-Based Marketing
    • Curated event and roundtable activations

No spray-and-pray.
Only relevance, relationships, and repeatability.

You can explore this here:
https://thebuildersclub.me/services/

TBC Councils

Alongside this, we’re also launching two focused leadership communities:

TBC CTO Council
For enterprise CTOs to exchange real-world insights, not theory.

TBC GTM Council
For CMOs and business heads navigating complex enterprise sales cycles.

These councils are intentionally small and high-trust, with access to:

  • Peer networking
  • Speaker opportunities
  • Industry report features and quotes
  • Personal branding workshops for leaders who want visibility without noise

And to be clear – we haven’t forgotten startups.

The Startups Club remains open to the global community.
We’ll continue running sessions, connections, and programs to support founders early in their journey.

https://thebuildersclub.me/membership

The Builders Club has always been about one thing:
Helping serious builders move forward – faster, together.

This is just the next, more focused version of that mission.

Onward.

Mohit Sureka: Building Games That Scale, Engage & Win

Mohit Sureka: Building Games That Scale, Engage & Win

, , ,

From turning ideas into high-retention games to scaling mobile titles for a global audience, Mohit Sureka, Founder and CEO of Spiel Studios, brings over a decade of product-first leadership in the gaming industry. With a deep understanding of user behavior and a sharp focus on quality, Mohit has built a portfolio of games that don’t just go viral — they stick, engage, and convert.

Leading with Gameplay: The Spiel Studios Story

Founded by Mohit, Spiel Studios has quietly become one of India’s standout mobile gaming studios — with millions of downloads across platforms, strong monetization performance, and a sharp design philosophy centered around player delight.

Mohit’s approach is simple, but not easy:

  • Build games that feel good
  • Understand the nuance of retention and progression loops
  • Nail product-market fit before going global

Over the years, he has led cross-functional teams through every stage of the lifecycle — from early gameplay prototypes and level design to publishing, analytics, and long-term LTV optimization.

At the heart of Spiel’s success is Mohit’s deep belief in player-first product thinking — a mindset that puts user joy, usability, and stickiness above vanity metrics.

Product Thinking for Founders: Beyond Gaming

While Mohit’s roots are in gaming, his playbook is relevant across industries. He brings clarity and precision to questions that every early-stage founder grapples with:

  • What makes a product worth coming back to?
  • How do you build features users actually care about?
  • What’s the fastest way to validate if your product works?
  • When do you scale — and when do you stop building?

As someone who has been through cycles of hits, flops, pivots, and wins — Mohit offers honest, first-hand advice rooted in years of real product execution.

A Strategic Advisor at The Builders Club

As a newly joined Advisor to The Builders Club, Mohit now supports a growing network of early-stage builders across India — especially those building in product-heavy or user-intensive categories.

He helps founders:
🎮 Improve user retention & product flow
🎯 Think clearly about monetization models
📲 Navigate app store dynamics & global rollout strategies
📈 Build high-performance teams focused on impact, not fluff

Mohit’s mentorship is grounded in the idea that good products are built, not hyped. He’s known for cutting through noise and getting to the core of what matters — whether you’re shipping your first MVP or iterating for scale.

Why The Builders Club?

The Builders Club is India’s most hands-on network for early-stage founders and operators — and advisors like Mohit Sureka make that possible.

As a member, you’ll gain access to:
✅ Deep product mentorship from real builders
✅ Honest feedback on your roadmap, GTM, and traction loops
✅ A trusted community of doers who share your pace

If you’re building a product that users will love — and want guidance that comes from doing, not just talking — Mohit’s got your back.

Join The Builders Club. Build like it matters.
