Gurani, along with his fellow co-founders, established Schbang in 2015 with the vision of redefining the marketing landscape and providing cutting-edge solutions to clients. With unwavering dedication and an unrelenting commitment to excellence, he helped in steering the company through numerous challenges, propelling it to become one of the most sought-after creative agencies globally. With a team of over 1,100 employees across Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, London & Amsterdam, they service over 200 brands across geographies.
Akshay Gurani stated that, “The last 10 years have been incredibly enriching, both in the relationships I’ve built with clients & team members and in the learning I’ve gathered along the way. I’m immensely proud of the body of work I’ve created and the scale the agency has reached today. However, it’s now time for me to take on a new challenge, one that allows me to focus on driving business effectiveness for brands and agencies on a hyper-growth trajectory in India & UAE”.
Akshay Gurani further said, “As business landscapes evolve and consumer behaviors shift, client needs are changing rapidly. My focus is on eliminating redundancies and prioritizing services that deliver business value. Digital transformation isn’t just about technology—it requires a deep understanding of a client’s business and a partnership-driven approach to drive meaningful change. Having spent countless hours understanding client businesses, I’ve identified key inflection points where inefficiencies arise. Client success for me would entail going beyond vanity metrics, diving deeper into their digital transformation journey to help them achieve sharper outcomes, powered by the right human resources, media and technology”.
With a strong background in digital marketing across creative, media, technology and AI, Akshay has played a key role in digitally establishing and transforming businesses for numerous Fortune 500 brands in India.
