Companies We Worked For

Every Business Has a Phase. What’s Yours?

Ideation to Proof of Concept

Overview

Companies often waste critical time in building the wrong things. We work with founders from the pre-ideation or ideation stage to transform abstract ideas into validated, investor-ready Proof of Concepts (POC). Our process helps you refine the business model, validate the core product, and avoid burning money on unnecessary features. Through structured exploration and fast iteration, we ensure your first build is your best step forward. We don’t just advise — we navigate the chaos and build the roadmap that moves you from point A (idea) to point B (POC) with clarity and control.

What you get:

  • A crystal-clear roadmap from idea to POC

  • Expert help avoiding expensive early mistakes

  • Handpicked vendor & partner selection

We refine your offering, validate customer behavior, and guide your go-to-market (GTM) with precision. Product-Market Fit isn’t just about “fit”—it’s about customer pull, revenue clarity, and low churn. We focus on helping you build systems to respond fast, pivot if needed, and set the stage for growth.

Testimonials

Chetan Verma

Founder and CEO of Traumen Life Sciences

From the very first consultation, it was clear that we were in the hands of professionals who deeply understand the intricacies Aditi ji brought knowledge and also commitment to excellence that is unmatched.What sets ED apart is their dedication to client success. They took the time to truly understand our unique challenges and tailored their solutions accordingly. We highly recommend ED to any pharmaceutical company seeking a trusted partner for growth and transformation. They are more than consultants; they are invaluable collaborators.

Anahita Jawanpuria

Founder, The Spring Story

I highly recommend ED , led by Addishree, a truly inspirational leader. Her expertise in her field is commendable, and crossing paths with her and the ED team is a stroke of luck, ED possesses the skills, knowledge, and experience required to nurture and develop businesses.ED also helped in associating with a digital agency after which our online sales has grown 4X For all your business needs, I wholeheartedly endorse ED , with Addishree at the helm, as the ideal choice for guidance and support.

Akshay Modak

Founder, The Dumpling Project

My initial interactions with Aditi and her team started through a mastermind where she is one of the more frequent guest speakers. Initially, I thought she had a fantastic understanding of how to manage your mindset around money. But then I realised that her deep understanding of how businesses need to be setup, managed and grown was her core strength. That was also missing link for me. In a short span of 2 months, working with Aditi has helped me understand fundamentals of a business enterprise, how to map your business ideas into viability matrices and most importantly how to eliminate the clutter and reach that " ONE " business idea. I now look forward to working on the road map that Aditi and her team have now developed for me and my business and growing my business and myself in the process.

Bhagyashree Soni

Founder, Cambio

Entrepreneurship journey is not at all easy, so you need someone who can mentor you, escalate you, correct you and not everyone finds a perfect mentor. But I got to be lucky when I met Aditi Ma'am. She's a gem of a person. Talking to her boosts you, makes you think bigger and moreover drives you to push harder. With her expertise and experience, sky is the limit. It's been an amazing experience with her. And I hope to stay under her guidance throughout.
