Ankana Dhar — CEO
My journey as a business strategist has been fueled by a relentless passion for growth and a deep curiosity for how businesses thrive. It's a journey that has taken me across diverse industries—from the fast-paced world of edtech to the precision-driven automotive sector, from the intricacies of manufacturing to the dynamism of retail. Each step of the way, I've sought out opportunities to build, to optimize, and to lead. At Miles Education, I'm currently charting the course for our US B2B accounting business, steering it towards ambitious revenue targets. I've relished the challenge of building a high-performing sales engine from the ground up, harnessing the power of marketing automation and organic lead generation to fuel our growth. Prior to this, at BYJU'S, I spearheaded initiatives that drove substantial revenue growth across the globe. Launching a new revenue channel, optimizing lead generation strategies, and spearheading the global launch of K12 Coding Live classes were all part of my exhilarating journey there. I also had the opportunity to tap into my passion for innovation, leveraging emerging trends like AI to create new courses and revenue streams. Throughout my career, whether at Tata Motors, Aditya Birla Group, or Novelis, I've consistently sought out opportunities to streamline processes, drive efficiencies, and unlock new growth opportunities. I'm driven by a data-centric approach and a belief in the power of technology to transform businesses. My time at the Indian School of Business further honed my strategic thinking and equipped me with the tools to tackle complex business challenges. Today, I'm a seasoned business leader with a proven track record of delivering results. I'm passionate about working alongside CEOs and founders, helping them build sustainable business models and achieve their vision for scale.
