Abhishek takes us through the career he has built thus far from choosing to start out as an entrepreneur in the advertisement space instead of choosing to do an MBA 🎓 and shares his technique of accelerated learning from his workplaces. Moving to Bangalore, Abhishek spent a year and a half at Dunzo where he applied his marketing skills to building Dunzo into the company it is today before starting GrowthX along with other ambitious growth experts from the city.
