About me
The long version.
I’m Ashu Gandhi, a content creator and freelancer who’s been on a wild ride. I have done my MBA from Paris and have been in marketing for 15+ years. Along the way I picked up graphic design, SEO, website optimization, and affiliate marketing. Today I am a social media strategist.

Story
From blogs to a company
2022 — now
Influence and brand collaborations
Managing a 100 million-plus audience and collaborations with brands that people already know. Three influencer programs are part of that stretch, mixing personal and professional resilience in a media landscape that does not sit still.
2020 — 2022
Paris, and a strategic pivot
Higher studies in Paris turned a mentee into a mentor. Digital marketing knowledge was shared with more than 500 students, and international clients came with it. SparkUpReach started here, first around TikTok growth. When TikTok was banned in India, the work moved to Instagram and helped influencers and brands keep growing.
2018 — 2020
Personal branding, the hard way
The first Instagram ID, theashugandhi, was not a smooth launch. The pivot was ask.theashugandhi, built by learning from the misses. That community is now around 150K on Instagram.
2015 — 2018
Affiliate marketing and the online hustle
CJ, ShareASale, and MaxBounty became the playground. Selling through Google Ads, and promoting digital marketing tools, taught the real mechanics of the online marketplace. Earlier communities did a lot of the heavy lifting.
2012 — 2015
Blogging, SEO, and the first clients
Blogging turned out to be more than words on a screen. It was SEO and website design too. Clients for website design showed up in the same years, and that was the start of the business.
