I'm Ambarish. I've led teams managing ₹30Cr+ in ad spend, helped take GrowthSchool from a 3-person team to 200K+ learners, and grown brands like RCB, Tech Burner's Brightso and Tagda Raho. Today I help founders and institutions build growth, marketing and operations that run on AI.
Built with Vaibhav Sisinty, Raj Shamani, Tech Burner and more of India's biggest creators.

Most people pick one lane. I've run all three, often in the same week, and AI now sits inside every one of them.
Performance across Meta, Google and LinkedIn, a creative engine that ships at volume, and AI in the loop from research to reporting.
From GrowthSchool's catalogue and its Generative AI category to online degrees and certifications with India's top institutes: product, partnerships and the go-to-market behind them.
Sales teams, incentive design, CRM workflows and internal tools. When no SaaS fits, I build the tool with AI, without waiting on developers.
Also: founder-led content for LinkedIn and Instagram, and talks and hands-on AI workshops.
Player hype reels, UGC, creator-led explainers and launch films we ran for RCB, Tech Burner's Brightso, Tagda Raho, JAIN Online, Flash.co and GrowthSchool.
Goals, reporting and pricing all run on rupees, leads and enrolments. These are the ones I point to first.
