Saurav Dasgupta is a business leader and strategic media professional, currently serving as the CEO and Co-Founder of Nexbrands Inc, a pan-India strategic marketing and communications group focused on building influential platforms, intellectual properties, and high-impact brand ecosystems.
With over a decade of experience across strategic marketing, media, and large-scale experiential platforms, Saurav has worked with leading MNCs, institutions, and emerging enterprises across sectors. As CEO, he leads business strategy, execution, growth, and scale, ensuring that creative vision is translated into structured, measurable, and sustainable outcomes.
Saurav is the Co-Founder of the India 2030 Leadership Conclave, one of the country’s prominent forums for leadership dialogue, innovation, and collaboration. The platform represents the evolution of Nexbrands’ flagship properties and reflects a future-focused narrative aligned with India’s growth story.
Under his leadership, Nexbrands Inc has consistently created and scaled content-driven platforms and intellectual properties that operate across national and regional markets, enabling brands to engage meaningfully with diverse audiences at scale.
A key example of this platform-building capability is Live Your Best Life, Unscripted, a branded podcast created for Herbalife India. The wellness-led storytelling platform features influential personalities from sports, entertainment, and health, and has collectively garnered over 100 million views across digital platforms, demonstrating Nexbrands’ ability to create content that resonates at scale and sustains audience engagement.
Building on this momentum, Saurav is leading the launch of People Who Matter, where he will serve as CEO. Envisioned as a next-generation digital media ecosystem, the platform aims to redefine how impactful stories, leaders, and ideas are discovered, curated, and amplified in India.
Focused on credibility, influence, and meaningful storytelling, People Who Matter is positioned to move beyond noise-driven content and spotlight individuals and narratives that are shaping the nation’s future.
Saurav believes that strong ideas achieve relevance only when backed by disciplined execution, scalable systems, and long-term vision. His leadership approach centres on building institutions rather than one-off campaigns, ensuring platforms and brands grow with consistency, credibility, and impact.
