Ashu Gandhi is a renowned entrepreneur, influencer and a social media expert who has revolutionised the field of Social Media and Influencer marketing. His story is one of perseverance, dedication, and a keen eye for the emerging trends in digital marketing. 

Ashu's journey began as a content creator and a freelancer, where along with content creation, he gained expertise in learning graphic design, search engine optimization, website optimization, and affiliate marketing. Within two years, he had amassed over 100,000 followers on his Instagram account and started earning a handsome amount. 

He was always an entrepreneur by heart and often quoted  “I am the one who will be creating the jobs, rather than doing one.” And that’s the time where he revived his brother Vasu Gandhi’s old startup and turned it into a full fledged Marketing Agency.

Like all other reputed companies, the initial journey was challenging and hard. A freelancer trying to pave a path for himself is not easily acceptable. He had his share of obstacles, rejections and dismissals. There were cold shoulders and icy stares. But he was on the lookout for opportunities and ready to grab even the smallest ones. He started managing the accounts of small influencers on instagram and youtube. This was the time when Influencer Marketing was hardly a Buzz-word. He spotted the right opportunity at the right time, worked with his small team and started heading forward. 

Meanwhile, he went to Paris to do his MBA. But the motive behind going overseas was to onboard International influencers and thus expand his company. This became a turning point for the company since he onboarded 10 influencers from USA, UK and France along with getting Master’s degree in International Business.
