Ankit Chawla — Head of Growth
📈 I don't run campaigns. I build growth engines. Over the last 6 years, I've scaled user acquisition, engagement, and retention across some of India's most competitive digital categories — fintech, OTT, and consumer internet. At Paytm, I own P&L for DTH, Subscriptions— designing lifecycle journeys, reactivation campaigns, and experimentation frameworks that have scaled offer adoption, recovered dormant users, and grown category revenue. Before Paytm, I built retention and engagement systems at OTTPlay across 38+ OTT platforms, led lifecycle marketing for Lionsgate Play across Southeast Asia, drove cohort-based engagement at ZEE5 that lifted CTR by 40% and watch time by 30%, and contributed to campaigns at Meta that helped raise $120M on Giving Tuesday. What connects all of it — data, lifecycle strategy, and an obsession with making growth stick beyond the first transaction. 🧩 Where I operate: Lifecycle & Retention — intelligent user journeys from activation to long-term loyalty Growth Experimentation — A/B frameworks, cohort models, funnel interventions Campaign Management — push, email, SMS, WhatsApp, in-app — orchestrated not blasted Cross-functional Execution — product, analytics, engineering, creative — aligned around one metric If you're building something in retention, lifecycle marketing, or product-led growth — or just want to swap ideas on what's working — I'm always up for that conversation. 📬 chawla.ankit1994@gmail.com
