Rethinking venture-building through systems, scale, and structure If you had to summarise this philosophy in one line, what would it be? Dr. Mamata Dhiraj Jain:

Itʼs not about building one successful company, itʼs about building a scalable system that can continuously create many successful ventures, empower innovators, inspire future entrepreneurs, generate sustainable opportunities, and contribute towards long-term economic growth, innovation, and meaningful societal transformation across generations.

In a world where entrepreneurship is often seen as a one-founder, one-company journey, a new approach is emerging one that focuses not on building individual businesses, but on building the systems that create them. In this edition of Spice Route, we speak with Dr. Dhiraj Jain, Founder & Chairman of 1XL Holdings, and Dr. Mamata Dhiraj Jain, Founder & Managing Director of 1XL Holdings, about what it really takes to build a platform capable of supporting 100+ ventures.

The idea of building 100+ ventures challenges traditional view of entrepreneurship. What prompted this shift in thinking? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

Because the traditional model, while powerful, is not easily scalable. If every business depends entirely on individual effort, then multiple becomes difficult. The shift was to move from thinking about individual businesses to thinking about repeatable systems.

So real focus not companies themselves, but the system behind them? Dr. Mamata Dhiraj Jain:

Exactly. When you build a strong system, it can support multiple ventures. The idea is not to start from scratch every time, but to create a structure that can be applied across different opportunities.

When you say “systems-driven,ˮ what does that actually mean in simple terms? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

It means bringing structure into areas that are usually left to chance. Instead of relying purely on instinct, we define clear frameworks that can guide how businesses are built and supported.

Traditionally, entrepreneurship has been very personal unstructured.

Does a systems approach change that dynamic? Dr. Mamata Dhiraj Jain:

It doesnʼt remove the personal element, but it supports it. Founders still bring vision leadership, but they operate within a structured environment that reduces uncertainty improves consistency.

Does this approach also reduce risk? Dr.

Mamata Dhiraj Jain:

Yes, each new venture learns from past mistakes, helping the system grow, improve efficiency, reduce risks, strengthen decisions, and deliver better long-¬term results over time.

Why choose a platform-based business? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

Speed, scale, and repeatability matter most.

Strong systems eliminate reinvention, accelerate growth, improve efficiency, and repeat processes.

Many would assume that building multiple ventures could dilute How do you avoid that? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

Focus comes from structure. When venture fits into defined framework, it becomes easier to manage multiple businesses without losing clarity.

this model impact role of founders? Dr. Mamata Dhiraj Jain:

It actually strengthens their Founders can more on strategic direction while the system supports broader framework around them.

UAE is mentioned as an ideal environment for this kind of model. Why is that? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

UAE provides a combination of infrastructure, access to global markets, and a supportive business environment. It creates the right conditions not just for startups, but for scalable platforms.

Is this approach limited to specific industries, or can it work across sectors? Dr.

sector-¬specific.

strength systems-driven approach that be adapted across industries, as long as the underlying structure remains strong.

What mindset shift required for entrepreneurs to embrace this model? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

The shift is from thinking of a business as a standalone effort to seeing it as part larger framework.

Once that perspective changes, scaling becomes more achievable.

From an investorʼs perspective, what makes this approach compelling? Dr. Mamata Dhiraj Jain:

It introduces structure into Instead relying isolated success stories, investors are looking at a platform designed create multiple opportunities.

ahead, you see venture-¬building evolving globally? Dr. Dhiraj Jain:

The future will move towards platforms, not just individual companies. The real advantage will lie in the ability to build systems that can consistently create and scale businesses.
