The Bold Brand Builder

A result-oriented professional with five years of experience in building categories, brand building, growth marketing, and strategy building, Akshat Kumar believes that the BW Marketing 30under30 award is a validation of the hard work, dedication and passion that he has invested in his career as a marketer. "Being recognised among such a talented group of individuals is incredibly humbling, and it motivates me to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the marketing industry," he says.

This award means a lot to him, on both his personal and professional fronts. "Professionally, it reaffirms that the innovative strategies, creative campaigns, and result-driven approaches I've implemented have not gone unnoticed. It's a testament to the impact and effectiveness of the work I've been fortunate enough to be a part of. I also see it as a stepping stone for even greater achievements in the future, and I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead," he adds.

His one piece of advice to the upcoming generation is to embrace a mindset of continuous learning and adaptability. In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving world, being open to new ideas, technologies, and ways of thinking is essential, according to Kumar. 

"Seek out growth opportunities, both personally and professionally, and be willing to step outside your comfort zone. Embrace challenges as learning experiences, and don't be afraid to fail. Additionally, build a strong network of mentors, peers, and collaborators who can provide guidance and support along your journey," he mentions.
