Event Overview
TiE Pune presents an interactive masterclass titled 'The Pricing Algorithm for AI SaaS', designed to help founders and entrepreneurs build a pricing system that aligns customer value with profitable growth.

Who Should Attend
This session is tailored for founders and entrepreneurs at the pre-revenue to approximately ₹1–10 crore ARR stage, particularly those building, launching, or scaling AI-enabled SaaS, technology, and B2B products. Whether you are still figuring out your first pricing model or already have customers and are looking to improve margins, this workshop will provide actionable insights.
What to Expect
The session is led by CA Shailendra Marathe, Founder Advisor with expertise in finance, pricing, and strategy. Participants will learn to connect customer value, cost-to-serve, pricing metrics, packaging, expansion, and profitability into a coherent pricing system. The agenda includes:
The session is not just theoretical; it incorporates real-world cases, practical frameworks, founder exercises, peer discussion, and live pricing diagnosis to help you think through your own pricing challenges.
