What Worked
SEBI, RBI, and POSH compliance training is mandatory — HR managers had no choice but to buy. Built pre-built compliance course library. First 50 clients came from compliance mandates, not discretionary learning budgets.
Biggest Mistake
Sold to L&D teams who had no budget. CHRO and legal teams have compliance budgets that can't be cut. Repositioned as compliance tool — deal cycles halved.
