Ranjan Das — CEO
For over three decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of brand, business, and market strategy, helping more than 100 brands and businesses—MNCs, national leaders, and startups—make clear, actionable decisions across India, APAC, EMEA, and North America. My experience includes launching and scaling 15+ global brands in India, supporting 20+ multinational corporations in Asian market expansion, and guiding 20+ startups through market entry and growth in India, the USA, Canada, and the Middle East. I specialise in market entry, FDI-led expansion, brand launches, business turnarounds, and growth strategies, with an approach rooted in local realities and focused on execution, not theory. I work closely with boards and leadership teams to clarify priorities and translate strategy into marketing and advertising systems that deliver results. I am an idea-to-implementation leader with an entrepreneurial mindset, and a strong interest in applying AI in practical, responsible ways to improve decision-making, speed, and effectiveness. An idea-to-implementation leader, I excel in building strong client and stakeholder relationships, delivering exceptional value, and crafting pathways for sustained business success. _____ Top Brands I headed my Agency for: Nike, Bacardi, Maxlife Insurance, Dabur, Audi, Lotto, Dalmia, Kajaria, Sanpdeal, Jindle Steel, Wipro, Airtel, Reebok, CII, Godfrey Phillips, Dunlop, Midea, Essel Group, Essar, World Gold Council, TGI Fridays, Tops, AU Bank, IMT Dubai, Henley & Partners, New Balance, Kerovit, GFB, Aviva, GEMs, Autodesk, Zee Mount Litera, Opel, etc. Key Strengths: FDI & Market Entry: India entry strategy, global expansion, new market development Business & Strategy: Business strategy, marketing strategy, consulting & advisory, strategy planning and implementation Brand Building: Brand development, brand management, brand revamp, global brand management Launch & Growth: Brand and product launches, product development, portfolio expansion Marketing & Communication: Marketing communication, integrated campaigns, ad films, digital engagement Digital & Platforms: E-commerce, SaaS, IoT, platform-led and digital-first businesses Retail & Physical Businesses: Brick-and-mortar and omnichannel brands Research & Insights: Research and analysis, consumer insights, market intelligence Execution & Delivery: Project management, idea-to-implementation leadership Leadership & Mentorship: Board advisory, mentoring, sweat angel investing
