Gaurav Verma — CEO
I love figuring out what makes consumers tick. I've spent 19 awesome years working with some amazing companies around the globe, all in marketing and understanding customers. My journey has taken me through diverse industries - from packaged food to food tech to health tech. It's fascinating to see the difference between what people say they want and what they actually do, in both their shopping baskets and office life. Follow me for cool campaign stories, my thoughts on marketing, and the experiments that really made a difference. When I'm not working, you'll find me playing poker, squash, or getting lost in RPG and city-building games. And I'm always up for book recommendations, especially fantasy! Here's what I've learned: - Putting customers first always pays off. - Mixing data with a bit of creativity can create magic. - Learning can come from anywhere - even from a game or a chat with your kids. - Always dig deeper - the first answer you get is just the beginning. - Forget office politics; honesty is the way to go. - Being understanding and working as a team is key to getting great results. I love meeting new people and swapping ideas about consumer trends, advertising, or even a good game of poker or squash. If you want to chat about any of these, just reach out!
