About

Hi, I am Suryansh and here is a quick snap about me - Work: First employee at Praan Health. Joined in as Chief of Staff and built the team from ground up. Along with focusing on scaling revenue and operations. Building the future of chronic care & pain management at Praan. Focusing on all things RevOps, biz, growth, and systems & processes. Previously at Fynd, worked in Founder’s Office role, and took ownership for Product & Revenue Growth of an AI Agent builder scaling it to $30k ARR. Fynd exposed me to the world of SaaS and now I use 100s of tools on a monthly basis. Have a repo at suryanshtomar.com - check it out. Before that, at Stoa, I owned the acquisition funnel for Stoa’s flagship program through performance marketing, brand campaigns, and event marketing. Also, dabbled with some tools like HubSpot, Make, MailModo, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Ads Manager, Google Ads, WebEngage, etc etc Interests: Brands excite me. The likes of Nike and Apple have shaped my understanding of a brand's influence on society. Therefore, marketing and branding are two functions I read a lot about. I also like to learn about the psychology behind purchases and user journeys. Learning: Professionally, I am learning a lot about AI. Due to my work, I get to dive deeper into new tools on the block. Quite exciting. Personally, I like understanding the content creators and their journeys. Creator-led brands, distribution, and decoding businesses is an interest area. Apart from that, I enjoy reading fiction, history, and anthropology and listening to good podcasts - shoutout to WTF by Nikhil K. Side Projects: Since 2021, I have taught here and there. So far, I have taught kids at NGOs, students at my alma mater, working professionals through workshops, and some sessions for early career professionals at a few startups. Before 2021, I went deep into following a few interests, deeper. I started my first YouTube channel with a friend in college, which halted because of the pandemic. Started running an e-commerce store which turned out unsuccessful after a month. Started self-improvement blog and ran for 5 months. Lost interest and switched to the next project. Started 'Fishing Internet', a WhatsApp resource center with 250+ members. It was my way of curating the best content from marketing, startups, writing, and personal development. Personal: Part-time fan cleaner of the house. Big time hydrohomie.
