A true thought leader, philanthropist, and successful entrepreneur, Mr. Ankit Aditya Pradhan serves as a source of inspiration for many young people who aspire to make it big in their life. He passionately believes that “nothing valuable comes easily but if you are good enough to work on your vision, there is no stopping”. At a very young age, he had a vision to do something groundbreaking and hence dived into the sea of doing business on his own with no one to look up for advice at home. The walk of a first-generation entrepreneur was far more challenging for him as he had his own set of challenges and did not know what to expect. He worked doubly hard to overcome all the hurdles that were thrown on his way. Knowing the breadth and depth of risks involved, he continued to invest in newer opportunities and pitching new ideas rather than copying some other workable product. After several failed attempts into diversified business, he decided to follow his love and passion for Real Estate. He invested an ample amount of time and aligned himself with experienced industry stalwarts and within a short span of time, he was able to create a niche for himself in the Real Estate industry. This was achievable since he had an in-depth understanding of what it takes to succeed in a sales environment with a heart of a powerful leader. Along the way, his organization expanded exponentially and acquired a number of other companies under the umbrella company, Viraaj Ventures. Now, he is the sole owner of Realty Assistant, Triumph EduDevelopers, Keasis and Pararthya. Under his guidance, his team designed a framework for developing trustworthy and reliable business, where everybody in the company focuses not only on sales but to create a brand value in the market. Pushing his boundaries not as a businessman but as a leader, Mr. Ankit Aditya Pradhan has been able to spread an inspiring message and voice and got his way of helping others succeed, unlike most of the other experts in the Real Estate business.

Leveraging tech for better💪

10 years of digital marketing experience of growing businesses and building teams across corporates, performance agencies & startups, managing global and local businesses in travel, retail, and e-commerce industry. Currently heading the digital and eCommerce at 6thStreet.com. Responsible for performance marketing, SEO, revenue growth, new customer acquisition, brand awareness, customer retention. I started my first website in my first year of engineering and drove over 200K monthly organic users and 100K email downloads in the first year. My SEO learning started with this back in 2010 and since then its been an amazing journey of working with corporates, performance agencies, startups across travel, retail & e-commerce for global as well as local clients. The hunger to learn and the type of experiences I was fortunate to have has given me immense confidence in growing businesses online. I strongly believe the growth of a business lies purely in their approach to the customer experience they are willing to provide through various touchpoints (content, creatives, site search, site speed, UX, time spent on a page, clean URL structure, creatives, post-purchase experience etc). Most businesses won't make money on first customer purchase, but on their returning purchase and that's where overall customer experience plays a huge part.
