Nishant Pandey — CEO
I came up through hotel management. No MBA, no IIT, no startup pedigree. Just an early obsession with why people buy — and years spent reverse-engineering it. I build growth systems. Not campaigns — systems. The kind that compound: funnel diagnostics that tell you exactly where revenue is leaking, CRO processes that run as a continuous discipline (not a quarterly audit), and AI-native tooling that gives small growth teams the leverage of a 20-person operation. At Growisto, I lead growth and CRO strategy across 100+ D2C and e-commerce brands on Shopify and Adobe Commerce. I co-moderate monthly CRO roundtables in Mumbai and Bengaluru where senior leaders from brands like ITC, TTK Prestige, Wildcraft, and Landmark Group work through what's actually moving the conversion needle. Three things I've built my thinking around: → 0→1 before 1→10. The biggest growth mistakes I see are brands trying to scale systems that were never properly built. I diagnose first, then build, then scale. → Profitable CVR, not gross CVR. Conversion rate tracked net of returns and fulfilment cost. Everything else is a leading indicator — don't optimise what you can't monetise. → AI as infrastructure, not experiment. I've built agentic systems using LLMs that automate competitor audits, monitor keyword volatility by pin code and time of day, and surface growth signals in real time — the kind of intelligence that used to require dedicated teams. If you're thinking about growth systems, D2C CRO, or how AI is changing how e-commerce brands operate — I'd enjoy the conversation.
