About Pranav Kulkarni

I build and scale digital systems that turn attention into revenue.(Digital Performance. AI. Funnels. Social Commerce.)With around 10 years of experience, I have managed multi-crore budgets and transformed underperforming pipelines into predictable revenue engines. Having operated at scale across both agencies and brands, I maintain direct strategic partnerships with Google and Meta. This ensures my strategies aren\'t just reacting to the market, they are ahead of it, backed by the latest platform insights and enterprise-level support.Currently, I drive digital growth for the MIT India (including MITSDE, ApexMind, MIT University, MIT VGS, MIT ACSC, MIT AOE, and Avantika University). My focus is on full-funnel performance: using AI-led optimization to align human behaviour with business goals. I don’t just buy ads, I build strategic ecosystems that simplify the \"messy\" consumer journey to make growth both scalable and structured.Alongside this, I curate @sillipoynt, where I break down the intersection of marketing, AI, culture, and the internet. It keeps my perspective grounded in human reality, not just digital dashboards.If your growth has plateaued or your digital systems need clarity, I am usually around.
