About

Hey — I’m Akash 😎 I help people create, sell, and celebrate. Create — by turning messy ideas into clear products, systems, and workflows that actually work in the real world. Sell — by building repeatable go-to-market motion, partnerships, and pipelines that lead to real conversations and conversions. Celebrate — by turning outcomes into stories, data, and narratives that make people care, trust, and act. For the last 3+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of product, operations, fundraising, and storytelling, scaling education and social-impact programs across multiple cities. I’ve built SOPs and CRMs from scratch, raised ₹10L+ through crowdfunding, managed high-touch donor and partner relationships, and introduced tech and AI workflows that cut friction and saved teams time. My work lives between structure and story. I enjoy designing calm, repeatable systems just as much as I enjoy crafting the message that helps them land. Whether it’s a GTM playbook, a sales funnel, a donor report, or a founder narrative — my focus is always the same: clarity over chaos, outcomes over activity. How I show up: • Product-minded operations and workflow design • Sales & partnerships with a consultative, human lens • CRM, GTM and AI-enabled systems that scale • Storytelling through data, decks, reports, and content • Building momentum without burning people out Outside work, theatre has shaped how I think — as an actor and director, I’ve learned how presence, timing, and emotion change outcomes. I also mentor early founders, write regularly, and train as a runner, swimmer, and weight-lifter with a long-term dream of attempting a triathlon. I’ve recently moved to Salmiya, Kuwait, and I’m exploring Product and Sales roles where I can build go-to-market motion, shape product strategy, and help teams grow — while keeping people, impact, and well-being at the center. If you’re building something that deserves attention, hiring for product or sales, or simply want to swap ideas — I’d love to connect.
