About

Hi there! I am Nikhil. I was the co-founder of Surge Lion Media and with 4+ years of experience building and scaling D2C and e-commerce brands across multiple categories including fashion, jewelery, cosmetics, FMCG, packaged foods, accessories, and lifestyle products, I think it is safe to say I have understood how effective marketing is done. I have led growth strategy, performance marketing overview, creative and content strategy, and execution for 50+ brands, managing cumulative ₹100 Cr in ad spend and influencing ₹300 Cr in revenue through the agency. I have experienced building and leading large, cross-functional teams (30+ full-time employees and 20+ vendors) while maintaining high-velocity execution, founder-level communication, and sustainable scaling systems. I am known for combining data, creative intuition, and operational discipline to drive predictable growth.

Syncupp was born out of a simple frustration.

We built Syncupp as a gamified team collaboration platform that is simple, fun, and effective.
What Syncupp offers-
1. Chats & Meetings for seamless communication
2. Task & Project Management with clarity
3. Time Tracking, Attendance & Leave Management made easy
4. Rewards & Leaderboards that gamify teamwork and boost performance
In less than a year, Syncupp has grown to thousands of active users, serving creative agencies, IT firms, interior design companies, manufacturing units, accounting firms, and brick-and-mortar businesses.
Our mission is clear: to bring clarity, collaboration, and culture back into teamwork, without the clutter of 10 different tools.

Jan 2024 – Apr 2025 · 1 yr 3 mos · New York, United States · Remote

At Ataniel, I had the privilege of working closely with 15+ founders across the globe, helping them scale their presence and businesses through LinkedIn.
From 1:1 consulting with 10+ founders on organic content growth to conducting masterclasses and podcasts on LinkedIn growth, my focus has always been on turning ideas into authority.
I spearheaded strategies for:
Content and storytelling that built trust and authority.
Community building that fostered engagement and long-term relationships.
Lead generation systems that created nearly $100k MRR in pipeline, all organically through LinkedIn.
My work has always been driven by one belief: LinkedIn isn’t just a platform, it’s the most powerful growth engine for founders today.
