^Gogol Growth Consultancy

Helping Small Businesses Stop Profit Leaks and Start Keeping What They Earn
If you run a business under ₹500Cr turnover and feel like your profits should be better, you’re not imagining it.

Most businesses grow their revenue, but profits stay stuck.
Margins quietly shrink. Cashflow slows down.
And it’s tough to see exactly where things are leaking.

That’s where we step in.

At Gogol Growth Consultancy, we help growing businesses find and fix their profit leaks — improving margins, cleaning up cashflows, and strengthening financial health without chasing new customers or blindly raising prices.

The Profitability Plan We Offer:
✅ Profit Health Checks for founders to instantly spot critical issues
✅ Full Profitability Audits to map revenue spread, cost leaks, and cashflow blocks
✅ Monthly Profit Partner Retainerships for sustained, quarter-on-quarter margin improvement
✅ Vendor Negotiation Support & Cashflow Clean-ups to improve liquidity and working capital cycles

Who We Work With:
Our clients typically come from:
~> FMCG / D2C brands
~> Regional logistics & distribution companies
~> Local manufacturing units
~> Wellness & service businesses
~> HealthTech ventures
~> EduTech startups

Why It Matters:

If profit leaks continue unchecked, businesses risk growing broke.
Revenue grows on paper while cash reserves thin out, vendors stay unpaid longer, and stress builds on founders.

How We Help:

Our model is practical, no-jargon, and founder-first.
We focus on quick fixes, real numbers, and fast, actionable results.

If you run a business and feel your profits should be stronger, let’s talk.
Drop me a DM. 

Let’s fix it before it costs you more.

Prahars Digital

Lead partnerships and strategic alliances with clients. Build and empower a team of high impact deal makers who manage a portfolio of revenue partnerships. Develop BD into a strategic growth tool for Prahars Digitals in Eastern, North-Eastern and Northern India. Collaborate with Cross-functional leadership of the client's company to shape customised digital branding and enhance Target Audience engagement to offer the client the best ROI.

Consultant- Digital Vertical

I am a business development and growth consultant. 

I am helping the team to generate leads by email marketing, drip campaign, cold calling, LinkedIn Lead Generation, Content Marketing and also using different referrals in my network.

I go step-by-step.
My first goal is to develop trust and relationships with my client before I move forward to give them a sales pitch. I do not recommend talking about sales and convincing the clients at the first meeting, that will turn to failure most of the time; I can be sure of that based on my long experience of business development, sales and marketing for the last 15+ years. I believe we humans are more prone to soft selling strategies rather than pushing them or leaving them without a space to breathe.

I am the SPOC for all the clients in Prahars Digital and I am responsible to handle their crisis, queries, doubts and key account management.

With a background in recruitment and staffing as a digital business development professional where I helped my company to grow their client base digitally, I have tested and experimented with dozens of digital strategies that work and also some strategies which fell flat on the ground.

All this came after a lot of failures, testing these tactics and strategies again and again to get the right blend of success.

To me, deep diving in your job in hand is very important to lead from the front with an example.

Upwork

This was not long ago that I found this profile to be most relevant according to my people-oriented mindset. I do not have an HR degree but I am in HR now. This shift in career is not only giving fun at work but also an exposure which I was always looking for. Here I lead Business Development for two corporates Pan India, one based out of Chennai and the other based out of Noida. 
I am responsible for performing all aspects of Business Development including both New client Acquisition and Account Management PAN India in IT/Non-IT/NGO/NPO. While doing this I connect with SME and CMMI level 3,4 and 5 level companies to endorse with them and provide them with the best talent possible.
The key focus here is to target those talents who in spite of having good mettle are unemployed and have been dejected out of corporates or any means of employment for a long time. This sense of pride after performing this noble task gives me immense satisfaction. If I cannot place a candidate, I make sure I keep in touch with him/her and let him know immediately as soon as I get some opening.
I these years of my career I have mustered a good amount of contact with HR professionals in corporate and HR consultancy alike.

CSR-Project Resource Specialist(Eastern Zone)

Camycent

Sr. Manager Marketing and Sales

In this role, I was responsible for driving all aspects of sales and marketing for an HR consultancy start-up based in Kolkata. Starting from scratch, I built a team of 6 dynamic sales and marketing professionals, steering business growth and helping position the company as a known brand in the Eastern India recruitment market.

I introduced practical, scalable SOPs and internal policies to streamline operations and fuel sustainable growth. Beyond business development, I actively managed talent acquisition — hiring and training new team members, grooming them to achieve peak performance in a competitive HR services environment.

The initial six months were challenging, as is typical in any start-up, but with focused leadership and a performance-driven culture, we steadily gained traction. Rather than chasing unrealistic overnight success, I prioritised building a foundation of responsibility, consistency, and measurable results. This approach paid off; within two years, I was promoted to Head of Sales and Marketing, having significantly contributed to the company's growth, client acquisitions, and operational excellence.

Sales and Marketing Manager

Helping India’s Growing Businesses Turn Revenue into Real Profits.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most MSMEs experience the same frustrating pattern:
Revenue grows, but profits quietly shrink.

Margins erode, cash flow slows down, and no one knows exactly why.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

I’m Abhishek, a business growth strategist with 18+ years across Fortune 500s, fast-growth startups, and founder-led MSMEs.
And I’ve seen this problem everywhere.

Now, through Gogol Growth Consultancy & as a Principal Consultant@Brain Behind Brands, I help MSMEs spot hidden profit leaks, improve margins, and optimise cashflows, without chasing new customers or wasting marketing budgets.

Here’s the Profitability Plan I Offer:
---------------------------------------
✅ Profit-First Business Strategy
We dissect your financials, operations, and marketing spends to uncover exactly where profits are quietly bleeding.

✅ Founder-Friendly, No-Jargon Consulting
I work hands-on with founders and CEOs to simplify profitability challenges and implement fast, practical fixes.

✅ Cashflow Optimization & Vendor Cost Control
We renegotiate contracts, optimise credit/payment cycles, and improve your working capital health.

✅ Growth-Backed Profit Retainers
For brands under ₹1000Cr, I act as an outsourced Growth Partner, ensuring consistent, sustainable margin improvement every quarter.

What’s at Stake?
Without action, most growing businesses risk slipping into a cycle of rising revenues with stagnant profits.
Cashflow strains build up. Growth feels harder. Financial stability gets compromised.

But with the right plan and a profitability partner on your side, you can protect what you earn and grow it.

Beyond Profitability Consulting:
------------------------------------
I mentor aspiring business developers, decode startup growth stories, and speak about founder-first business strategy at B-schools and business events.

Because real business growth isn’t top-line vanity, it’s about keeping what you earn.

If your profits aren’t where they should be, let’s connect.
