Speedrun Fireside

Performance Marketing with Saajan Jain, GrowthPep

Jan 16, 2026

2 Hours

Virtual Event | Google Meet

An open, candid conversation with

Saajan Jain - Founder at GrowthPep


Why we’re excited:

Saajan Jain has built GrowthPep quietly and deliberately — without chasing hype or shortcuts.

Over the last few years, he’s worked closely with 50+ D2C brands, managing multi-crore ad spends while staying deeply involved in how brands think about positioning, funnels, and customer behavior — not just performance metrics.

What makes this conversation valuable isn’t just what worked, but what didn’t. The trade-offs, the mistakes, and the decisions that only become obvious once you’re in the arena.

If you’re building in D2C or eCommerce and want a grounded view on growth, brand, and execution — this will be a practical, no-nonsense conversation.

Speedrun Fireside is a monthly fireside chat + live AMA with builders, operators, and creators. We keep it honest, practical, and founder-first — the goal is to leave you with sharper mental models and clearer next steps.

This isn’t a keynote. It’s a real conversation about the messy parts: trade-offs, mistakes, pivots, and what they’d do differently if they started today.

Meet your host:

Pranav Kay is the founder of Startup Speedrun, where founders come to think clearly, build faster, and avoid obvious mistakes.
He’s a product designer turned startup operator who spends most of his time helping early-stage founders move from ideas to things that actually work.
Before all this, he was in a band and once ran a music festival
