        abstract = {— The learning culture in start-ups is considered to be trivial for their sustainability. With the fast-paced technology start-ups rising in India, there is a real need to understand the impact of organisational learning on human capital. Promotion of effective learning focuses from strategy to execution. The factors that impact the human capital are identified as motivation, job satisfaction, loyalty, brand value, and knowledge management. The research presented the distinct connection between intrinsic and extrinsic human capital factors being studied. Literature and research confirm the impact on individual learning models, thereby justifying the relation organisational learning and motivation, job satisfaction, and loyalty. The modern workplace culture requires constant upskilling to stay focused with the market expansion. Organisational learning is no longer an individual learning experience. It is about what the organisation offers to its employees, and builds the connection between both entities. 
In a volatile environment like technology start-ups, why organisational learning is important? Can employee performance be tracked without organisational learning? Would technology start-ups in India grow in revenue and by workforce without offering a learning environment? This study looked at literature to share thoughts and inputs of other scholars. In addition, focus group discussions were conducted to obtain critical and direct information from technology start-up workforce from India. The study observed there is disconnect to prove the impact of brand value and knowledge management on organisational learning. Hence, further research is recommended. This disconnect might be because these factors have an influence on the external factors of organisational set up. In technology start-ups, it is critical to stay focused on the vision. These would help on innovation, produce quality service and products, and fast forward expansion plans. Investigation is required to expand knowledge from individual to shared approach through effective knowledge management repositories},
