Growth Marketing Manager | Open to Work | Retention, CRM & Lifecycle Marketing

About

Over the past six years, I have built growth, retention, and lifecycle systems that directly generated over $8M in revenue across the travel, SaaS, and co-living sectors. My focus is moving past channel metrics to true revenue ownership. My methodology relies on deep pattern recognition: identifying what moves the core business numbers, automating workflows, and leveraging AI to accelerate team velocity without losing analytical judgment. Areas of Focus - Retention & Lifecycle Marketing: Constructing multi-channel CRM loops to maximize customer lifetime value and reduce churn. - GTM & Acquisition: Engineering data-backed strategies to capture and scale new consumer segments. - Marketing Automation: Building the tracking and communication architecture needed for cross-functional efficiency. Sector Experience - Growth Marketing Manager | Thrillophilia.com - Retention & Lifecycle Growth | Zolo - B2B & Enterprise Scale | HackerEarth and Sify I am targeting growth or GTM roles defined by clear outcome ownership and room to build. My complete portfolio is available in the Featured section below.

Work experience

Associate Director - Growth Marketing at PrepLadder, Jul 2026 - Present · 3 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Growth Marketing Manager at Thrillophilia.com, Jul 2024 - Jul 2026 · 2 yrs 1 mo, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, At Thrillophilia, I basically spent most of my time building things that did not exist yet and fixing things that were breaking at scale. Built the Growth Marketing function from 0→1, launched 3 new revenue categories, and built the retention channel from scratch till it started contributing ~20% of total business revenue within 6 months. Launched “Thrill Fest”, a slightly crazy B1G1 campaign model that ended up driving 120% revenue growth and almost 2x conversion rates. Also funny seeing similar formats later show up across our competitors later. Apart from campaigns, I handled full-stack ownership of CleverTap, led an 11-member team, worked closely with the Founder’s Office, helped hire and build teams, and somehow survived managing 20+ cross-functional projects where priorities changed every few business days. Most of the role honestly sat at the intersection of growth, automation, execution, operations, and “someone needs to take ownership of this.”
