Build3

Growth & Brand Lead

Feb 2022 – Nov 2024 · 2 yrs 9 mos · Goa, India · On-site

Joined a venture capital firm with a difference called build3 after graduating from Ashoka University. My time at build3 revolved around developing business verticals from the ground, boosting brand awareness through content, and helping grow a community of impact founders; in other words, I understand what it takes to grow a business and am capable of building an airplane when thrown off a cliff!
Some of the things that I am proud of
Developed and grew build3's cohub business vertical; a co-living initiative designed for founders in Goa. Grew the business from 0 to Rs 6 lakhs/month. Managed a motley crew of interns, associates and on-ground staff, and achieved an NPS of 84.
In charge of growing a program titled "Seaside Startup Retreat"; an 8 day retreat designed to help people learn the ropes of building a startup. Earned Rs 5 lakhs in revenues over 3 editions of the retreat (20 people at Rs 25k each)
Initiated a podcast series and email newsletter titled build3's 'stories of change' that highlights how business can be a force for good. In charge of finding guests, ideating and scripting episodes, interviewing founders, writing and growing the newsletter, and editing the podcast. The newsletter has over 1700 subscribers with an average open rate of 40%.
Helped grow build3's Instagram follower count from 600 to over 6000 people and build3's LinkedIn follower count from 500 to over 3000 people within 1.5 years. Wrote a monthly newsletter for build3
on LinkedIn and grew our subscriber base organically from 100 subscribers to 1485 subscribers within 1.5 years.
