Hi, I'm Ashish Batra

Independent AI researcher. Indie builder. I simplify growth with data, creativity, and GenAI — helping startups and creators build smarter, grow faster, and tell better stories.

A bit about me

I'm a digital strategist, marketer, and builder with 12+ years of experience at the intersection of growth, analytics, and storytelling. I've led digital marketing teams, built analytics stacks from scratch, and helped products scale using thoughtful measurement and automation.

I also experiment with AI for storytelling, video creation, and education — crafting tools that turn ideas into images, comics, or even full short films.

Beyond work, I enjoy telling imaginative bedtime stories to my sons, Ronak and Keshav — often featuring dancing peacocks, magical juttis, or science museum escapades.
