Professional Introduction
Ravi Mehra is an entrepreneur, growth marketer, and brand builder with over a decade of hands-on experience across ecommerce, digital marketing, performance advertising, and business strategy. He has built marketing functions from scratch, launched consumer brands across India and the US, and led growth initiatives spanning Meta Ads, Amazon marketing, content automation, and full-funnel digital strategy.
As the Growth Marketing Lead for Ayushakti USA, Ravi architected the brand's entire digital marketing ecosystem — from zero to a fully functioning engine of campaigns, automation, and audience engagement. Simultaneously, he founded and operates multiple ventures including JAANSHU, a women's accessories brand on Amazon India.
Ravi's strength lies at the intersection of creative strategy and analytical execution — the rare practitioner who understands both the art of brand storytelling and the science of conversion metrics. His work spans two continents, multiple industries, and the full spectrum of modern marketing tools, from AI-powered automation to grassroots community building.
He brings real-world frameworks, battle-tested insights, and a practitioner's urgency to every conversation — making him uniquely positioned to speak to students, entrepreneurs, and professionals alike.
