Harshh & Co. · The Operator’s School
The Principle Driven Founders Community · On Skool

A free network for the operators doing the work.

Not a Discord. Not a Telegram group. Not a Facebook community. A structured Skool community where the conversations are restricted to founders who have already passed the discipline filter. Free to join. Always will be.

The Thesis

Most communities are noise. This one is signal.

A community is only useful when the conversations inside it are sharper than what you would get on Twitter, LinkedIn, or any free Discord. Most communities fail this test inside ninety days because anyone can join.

The Principle Driven Founders Community runs on Skool with one soft filter: a 30-second written intro about your business, your stage, and your bottleneck. A human reads every intro. Pure spectators are politely declined. Operators are let in fast.

Free to join. Built to stay free. The point is not to monetise the room. The point is to host the conversation.

Inside the Skool

Twelve discussion threads. No fluff.

#wins
Wins, with numbers

Where members post wins, but only with the actual numbers. Revenue jumped from X to Y. Close rate went from 8% to 22%. No vague gratitude posts.

~24 posts per week
#bottlenecks
Bottleneck of the week

Members post the one thing blocking them. The room diagnoses, prescribes, and follows up the next week. The most active channel.

~40 posts per week
#pricing
Pricing teardowns

Members share their actual pricing models. Other members tear them apart. The most uncomfortable, most useful channel in the room.

~15 posts per week
#hires
Hires and fires

JD reviews, interview frameworks, fire stories, salary calibration. The channel where founders learn that hiring is a system, not a vibe.

~18 posts per week
#authority
Authority artefacts

Members publishing books, essays, podcasts, keynotes. The channel that holds you accountable to the operator-author thesis.

~10 posts per week
#sales-calls
Sales call rebuilds

Members upload anonymised recordings of their last sales call. The room reviews, scores, and rebuilds. Compounding sales improvement.

~8 posts per week
#books-club
The Operator's Book Club

One book a month. Discussion thread runs the week before the live call. Most members read 12 books a year just to keep up with the room.

~30 posts per month
#cities
City sub-channels

Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Goa. Where local meetups, dinners, and informal hangouts get planned. Most lifelong friendships are made here.

~60 posts per week
#harshh
Direct from the founder

A read-only channel where I post threads, drafts, and decisions in real time. Members can react, but the channel is mine to broadcast.

~3 threads per week
The Weekly Rituals

Four rituals that keep the room alive.

Every Monday

The commitment thread

Every member posts the one thing they are shipping this week. The thread is public. Misses are read out the following Monday. Public commitment makes the work real.

Every Wednesday

The live call

90 minutes. One operator goes deep on a current bottleneck. Room asks questions, prescribes, and books a 90-day review. Recordings live in the library forever.

Every Friday

The numbers drop

Every member posts their week's three numbers. Revenue, leads, pipeline. Anonymised aggregate goes out to the room as a benchmark. You know where you stand against your peers, weekly.

Every Sunday

The essay

A long-form essay from Harshh, posted Sunday morning. Members read, react, debate in a thread the same evening. The essay shapes the week.

The Code of Conduct

Two lists. Both short.

What gets you celebrated in the room

  • Posting your real numbers, not adjectives
  • Pushing back on a peer respectfully and specifically
  • Writing a long-form post about a hard lesson
  • Asking a precise question, not a vague one
  • Following up 30 days later on advice you took
  • Sharing the case study even when it failed

What gets you removed from the room

  • Pitching your services to other members in DMs
  • Asking for free 1:1 calls without reciprocity
  • Posting content with no thinking attached to it
  • Vague "let me know if anyone needs help with X" posts
  • Anything that resembles a multi-level marketing tone
  • Treating the room as a status purchase
From Members

What the room sounds like.

"The Wednesday call is the only meeting in my week I refuse to move. The diagnosis I got on call eight saved me a Rs 6L hiring mistake."

"My Monday commitment thread has caught me twice when I was about to skip a deadline. The public stake matters more than I expected."

"#pricing is uncomfortable in the best way. I posted my model, six members tore it apart, my floor went up 35%. Worth the membership for that channel alone."

"I have been in seven communities. Most are dead. This one is alive because Harshh is in it daily and the filter is real."

"The book club has me reading more in 2026 than I read in the previous five years combined. The peer pressure is unreasonable."

"The numbers drop is a weekly mirror. There is no hiding from your real performance when the room is doing the same exercise."
