In the world of digital influence, there exists a hidden digital marketing guru who’s been quietly reshaping the landscape. You won’t find him in glitzy influencer events or on trending hashtag challenges. He’s not the one boasting millions of followers or flaunting an extravagant lifestyle. Meet Ashu Gandhi, a force quietly revolutionizing influencer marketing.
While the top influencers are busy showcasing their highlight reels, Ashu Gandhi is the unsung hero behind it, changing the game behind the scenes. He’s redefining how brands connect with their audience. Our reporter got to know about him from an influencer who gained 2 million followers in just 6 months.
Ashu Gandhi’s journey began as a content creator and a freelancer, where along with content creation, he expertised 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.
For him, 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 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 brother on it and executed it to perfection- making Sparkupreach one of the very first Influencer Marketing companies in India.
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 a Master’s degree in International Business.
The path toward success was now ahead.
Today, SparkUpReach manages over 500 influencers catering to over one billion audiences across platforms and serving more than 100 brands worldwide.
