Sixteen years in growth marketing. Now teaching AI agents to do the boring parts.
How I got here

crossed out 10→100soon?Head of Paid Search for a house of brands. Building AI agents on the side. Ask me in a year.

2017 – 2021 · Accenture
$10Ma month
Media spend across Fortune 50 brands. The real work was underneath: building the processes and the client relationships that let a big team deliver without me in every room.

2013 · Mumbai
Ten months.
Straight out of college I took on a stockbroking franchise. Ten months in I could see Zerodha coming for the whole market, so I shut it down. It did. Cheapest lesson I ever paid for.

2010 – 2016 · Vizoomer
2%→15%of revenue from email
My own small online businesses, plus client work. Took a client's 100,000-person email list from 2% of their revenue to 15%, and launched a retail brand into Europe from a desk in India. Too ambitious on paper. Enough of it worked.
None of it was solo. Every chapter had a team that deserves the credit as much as I do.
What I'm tinkering with
- GruntStack↗
Marketing workflows for AI that do the same thing every time. Less hallucination, more execution.
- Zero Filter Growth↗
Growth work for SaaS teams who want it said plainly.
Off the clock
Home is Bengaluru, with my family. They're the reason the work has to be worth it, and the reason I log off.
