KAM & Growth Lead, Black Cherie.

Hi, I’m Anshul Bangadkar. I’m from Pune, India, and I've completed my Bachelor’s in Business Administration (BBA) with a major in Marketing and a minor in Operations and Supply Chain Management. I’ve always been a pretty decent student. More than just grades, I think college gave me the platform to step out of being “just a decent kid” and really grow into someone who enjoys taking responsibility, leading initiatives, and learning from experiences outside the classroom.

I currently work full-time at Black Cherie, a creative agency/product launch studio that builds award-winning brands, digital products, and campaigns. My role is Founder’s Office Lead, which basically means I work directly with the Founder & CEO across strategic planning, business operations, growth initiatives, client management, and team development.

I enjoy solving problems by designing processes & systems that are both scalable and practical, and I love the mix of creativity and structure this role gives me.

Before this, I did internships in sales and marketing, which helped me understand the basics of consumer behavior, market positioning, and how real businesses run day-to-day. I’ve also been very active in co-curriculars and leadership roles, which taught me how to manage people, communicate clearly, and keep things moving under pressure.

Outside of work and academics, I’m passionate about fitness and personal growth. For me, fitness is not just about the physique but about discipline and keeping my energy sharp for everything else I do.

In the long run, I see myself moving to high-impact roles in global companies while also building ventures of my own. What excites me most is the idea of creating things that last ; businesses, systems, or even personal influence that people remember. I value mastery, social influence, and legacy, and I try to make sure whatever I’m doing is a step toward that bigger picture.

At the end of the day, I like to believe I work harder and smarter than most people around me. I enjoy creating opportunities instead of waiting for them, and I don’t shy away from putting in the extra hours if that’s what it takes. Whether it’s growing my personal brand on LinkedIn, pushing myself in the gym, or building processes at work, I’m on a journey of constant improvement and I’m enjoying every bit of it.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."
