ABOUT ME

About Sunil Poddar

I'm Sunil Poddar, an entrepreneur and the founder of Maven Brand Ventures in Bengaluru. I work with owners of established ₹1 Cr+ businesses whose business stops when they stop: the 11 PM staff call, the holiday that never happens, every decision waiting on one person.

The idea behind Maven started in a hospital bed. I couldn't even sit up, and my phone kept ringing, because nothing in my business moved without me. Years of ads, agencies, discounts and cold calls had brought customers for a month at a time. None of it had built a business that could run without me.

That's the question every owner avoids: what happens to the business if I stop? Maven exists to answer it, with the Brand to Scale method: positioning, offers and pricing, lead generation, sales conversion, SOPs and a weekly KPI dashboard.

I started my career as an engineer at General Motors and studied at IIM Calcutta. I've trained 3,000+ entrepreneurs, I'm the marketing mentor to Redon, one of India's leading lithium-ion battery manufacturers, and I wrote the book You Are Unique.

Businesses that run without you. Brands that live beyond you.
