About Me
Paaras Panndya: Fractional CMO for Founder-Led Businesses
I am Paaras Panndya — a Fractional CMO, marketing consultant and marketing educator based in Ahmedabad. I build predictable revenue systems for founder-led businesses, B2B SaaS companies and SMEs across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Mumbai, and I teach the same thinking to marketers and founders through three cohort programmes.
My Background
Building Marketing Engines for Growth.
I have spent 17+ years in marketing leadership — across India and the wider APAC region, including a stint running marketing out of Seoul, South Korea. In that time I kept meeting the same problem: companies with genuinely good products, and no structured leadership to scale them. Marketing was being bought as a set of tactics, not built as a system. That is why I work as a Fractional CMO. I embed with the team, align marketing with the business model, and build the infrastructure that makes growth repeatable — rather than handing over a deck and leaving. Alongside the consulting practice I am the founder of Neoma Media, an AI-driven marketing and branding agency, and of Cuneiform Consulting, an AI-first digital consulting company. I also serve as guest faculty at GLS University and Rashtriya Raksha University, teaching marketing strategy to the next set of practitioners. The teaching is not a side project. Through The Marketing Foundation, The Marketing Residency and The Founder’s Boardroom, I train marketers to think like business leaders and founders to command their marketing like a CMO. The consulting keeps the teaching honest; the teaching keeps the consulting sharp.
