About Ankur B.

You\'ve built a real business. Real revenue, real team, real customers. But somehow, competitors with weaker products are getting the press, the partnerships, the inbound deals. You\'ve probably tried PR agencies or marketing firms and walked away frustrated. Vanity metrics, no real outcomes. I get it. Because I\'ve been on the operator side of this equation for over a decade. I work at the intersection of brand strategy, demand generation, and revenue systems. Not as a vendor. As someone who builds the engine.\': Scaled e-commerce revenue 15x within a single year. Moved repeat purchase rates from 32% to 78%+. Built and led demand, marketing, and customer success teams across high growth companies. Designed GTM strategies and growth systems for businesses across D2C, SaaS, luxury, real estate, and EdTech: Brand positioning and founder narrative design. Demand generation and pipeline systems (inbound + outbound). Performance marketing, lifecycle marketing, and retention. E-commerce strategy and conversion optimization. AI-led growth workflows and marketing automation. Go-to-market architecture for multi-stage businesses. Today, as Entrepreneur in Residence at Influence, I work with founders scaling between 10 Cr and 300 Cr ARR who have already proven product-market fit but remain invisible in their category. The kind of founders who are sharp, execution-focused, and tired of spending money on agencies that deliver decks instead of outcomes. What we do is simple. We clarify your positioning, build your narrative, turn your visibility into a compounding growth advantage, and make sure the right people (investors, partners, customers, media) come to you instead of you chasing them. I don\'t believe in branding, performance, and operations working in silos. Growth is a systems problem. When brand, marketing, and revenue talk to each other, everything compounds. If growth feels inconsistent despite doing everything right, let\'s talk.
