Akshay Gurnani, Schbang’s Co-founder and CEO, moves on after 10 glorious years

When approached for a comment, Akshay stated that, “The last 10 years have been incredibly enriching, both in the relationships I’ve built with clients & team members and in the learning I’ve gathered along the way. I’m immensely proud of the body of work I’ve created and the scale the agency has reached today. However, it’s now time for me to take on a new challenge, one that allows me to focus on driving business effectiveness for brands and agencies on a hyper-growth trajectory in India & UAE”.

With a strong background in digital marketing across creative, media, technology and AI, Akshay has played a key role in digitally establishing and transforming businesses for numerous Fortune 500 brands in India.

As digital spending surpasses traditional media and brands increasingly prioritize bottom-funnel metrics, there is a growing demand for tailored go-to-market strategies that seamlessly integrate business objectives with creative & media solutions.

Akshay further stated, “As business landscapes evolve and consumer behaviors shift, client needs are changing rapidly. My focus is on eliminating redundancies and prioritizing services that deliver business value. Digital transformation isn’t just about technology—it requires a deep understanding of a client’s business and a partnership-driven approach to drive meaningful change. Having spent countless hours understanding client businesses, I’ve identified key inflection points where inefficiencies arise. Client success for me would entail going beyond vanity metrics, diving deeper into their digital transformation journey to help them achieve sharper outcomes, powered by the right human resources, media and technology”.
