The CCi Sprint
For corporate innovation teams and MSMEs entering a new market.
MSME cohort pricing is materially lower and published on the CCi Live page. Bands as at 26 August 2026.
For a team with a market to enter and a deadline, who would rather start from what already worked.
This is not for teams whose mandate is original research. CCi is an entry method, not an invention method.
Almost nobody who succeeded started from a blank page.
Most entry failures are sequence failures. Teams innovate first — on a foundation nobody has proven, in a market they have not localised for — and then spend the runway discovering things a tear-down would have told them in week one. Starting from a proven model is not a lack of ambition. It is what lets the ambition survive to the part where originality actually pays.
Phase by phase.
Published in full, because a curriculum that cannot be published is not a curriculum. The order matters more than any individual phase.
Identify models worth copying
Proven in another market, another segment, or another decade. Selection criteria, not admiration.
Product tear-down and feature map
What the model actually does, separated from what its marketing says it does. The gap between those two is usually the opportunity.
Localisation across five axes
Culture, economics, regulation, logistics, language. Each one has killed an entry that got the other four right.
Go-to-market blueprint
Channel, price, first hundred customers, and the sequence.
The innovate layer
What you add on top, now that the base is de-risked and you can afford to be wrong about it.
CCi metrics
How you will know the entry is working before the revenue tells you.
Named artefacts, not a feeling.
Each of these is a physical output with an owner and an as-at date on it. If the programme ends and you do not hold all of them, it did not finish.
No published case yet. Said plainly.
This practice was founded in 2026. Where a client has consented, the case is named and published. Where consent does not exist, nothing anonymous is offered in its place — an unnamed case study is not evidence, it is decoration.
What is checkable today is the operating record on The Portfolio: the frameworks run on live organisations I founded, and you can look at those organisations.
Founded 2026. Here is everything, including what I got wrong.
Start with what you already hold.
There is no application fee and no discovery call script. Four questions, honestly answered, tell me whether this is the right altitude — and I will say so if it is not.
Questions about The CCi Sprint
Answered plainly, with the real figures. If something here is wrong, tell us and it goes in the log.
₹2L to ₹15L, published as at 26 August 2026. MSME cohort pricing is materially lower and is published on the CCi Live page. The sprint runs six weeks with weekly working sessions, open to corporate teams and MSME cohorts, and it is available in Tamil and English.
Certified CCi practitioners deliver it under licence, with Elango reviewing every entry plan. That is what makes it the volume offer in the stack rather than the flagship: it carries the base, it feeds the funnel, and it is Tamil-language-first. The free CCi Readiness Assessment sits in front of it.
Three moves in order. Copy a model already proven in another market, another segment or another decade, and study it through a tear-down and feature map rather than a screenshot. Customize it across five axes — culture, economics, regulation, logistics, language. Innovate on top, where innovation is finally cheap because the base is de-risked.
No. It is an entry method, not an invention method, and it is not for teams whose mandate is original research. Most entry failures are sequence failures: teams innovate first, on a foundation nobody has proven, in a market they have not localised for. Starting from a proven model is what lets the ambition survive to the part where originality pays.
A validated entry plan with a customisation map; a tear-down and feature map of the reference model; a go-to-market sequence with the first hundred customers named; and entry metrics that lead revenue rather than lag it, so you know the entry is working before the revenue tells you.
