Anshul Bangadkar

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

“When we launched LegalWiz.in back in 2016, concept of procuring legal and compliance services through a digital commerce platform wasn't as prominent in India. eChai played a significant role in providing the early adopters, and building significant positioning in the startup fraternity. Overtime, eChai grew to be a massive network of like-minded entrepreneurs and extended that benefit to all the members in a true "co-rise" spirit. I personally love to attend eChai events, learn from subject matter experts who share relatable and actionable insights and experiences. For startup journeys, it is so important to be surrounded by people who can add relevance, perspective, and push you to do better. Most importantly a group of people where you aren't being judged about things going right or wrong, but be a motivational force that keeps you going, yet keeping you in check. eChai is that place for me!”

"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."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
