Arun Gellela — Founder

The Kid Who Asks "What If?" I've always been drawn more by what could be than by what is. Show me a blank canvas, and I see a masterpiece. Show me a problem, and I see ten different ways to solve it. That's just how my brain works. In 2023, I dove headfirst into building a recruitment agency. We scaled to $100k in revenue within twelve months, and it was exhilarating. I touched every corner of that business: hired our internal team, crafted outbound sales strategies, built a finance manager dashboard, and helped top startups across India and the US find incredible tech talent. Then we couldn't sustain it. We made a million mistakes. But here's what I learned: every failure is just expensive education. And I got one hell of an MBA. Armed with all those lessons, I started Growth Formula - a performance marketing agency working exclusively with organic and sustainable brands that are actually trying to make the world better. Because if I'm going to pour my energy into something, it better matter. I'm a digital marketer and a generalist. I love the chaos of building businesses from scratch, the thrill of seeing an idea become real, the satisfaction of watching numbers climb because of a strategy that worked. People know me for bringing high energy to everything I do. If something breaks at 1 am on a Sunday and it's my responsibility, it's getting fixed. That's just who I am. I get things done, sometimes to the dismay of my sleep schedule and definitely to the dismay of my bank account when I find myself in airports more often than my credit card statements would recommend. But that's what credit cards are for, right? (My accountant is screaming somewhere.) My curiosity got me my first job, and it's been my superpower ever since. I'm constantly learning, from colleagues past and present, from strangers on the internet, from YouTubers who probably don't know I exist. I run and cycle occasionally to clear my head, and I'm a massive fan of Suits because, let's be honest, who doesn't want to be Harvey Specter? I love connecting with people. Building real relationships. Having conversations that matter. So if you've read this far and you're thinking "this person seems interesting" or "this person seems weird," you're probably right on both counts. Let's chat sometime. --- P.S. I'm too self-conscious, and I use humor a lot because we're all gonna die one day, why not die having fun?
