Why Vidrow

We exist because founders deserve
better marketing in early stages

Most startups get handed a generic marketing playbook, hire a growth team, find production houses, start running Meta and Google ads and that's it. It looks like marketing. It rarely works like marketing.

We work with startups from Seed to Series C, the window where brand and growth decisions compound the most. The choices made in this phase don't just drive this quarter's pipeline. They shape how investors see you, how talent thinks about joining, and how customers decide whether to trust you with their money.

We come in as the marketing team most early-stage companies can't afford to hire full-time, one that thinks in systems, not campaigns. We help build the complete customer journey, the architecture of how a stranger becomes a lead, a lead becomes a customer, and a customer becomes someone who tells others. We stay close to revenue. We measure pipeline, conversion, CAC, and retention, and make sure you reach your next fundraise goal sooner.

Neither option was built for the way startups actually work, pivoting every three months, building and validating simultaneously, needing a partner who thinks like a founder, not like a contractor.

We built Vidrow because we had been founders ourselves and we knew that gap was real. And nobody was filling it right.

Success

90% of partnering Startups successfully raise their next round while working with us

9 out of 10 startups we work with raise their next round while they’re with us. That isn’t luck. It’s what happens when marketing is built around the metrics investors actually care about, and when the team running it wants your next round as badly as you do.

Recognition

Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia

Vidrow’s co-founder Aditya Raj Somani was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2025 list in the Social Media, Marketing & Advertising category.

First Startup

HPF Films → Acquired by ShareChat, 2020

Aditya and Anushank built and ran HPF Films to a million-dollar revenue mark before its acquisition by ShareChat in 2020.

Foundation

IIT Kanpur Engineering-First Team

Both founders and the core team come from IIT Kanpur. Ex-Drama and Films Club members of IIT Kanpur, they bring the best blend of creativity, analytics and strategy.

Not an agency, but a partner

We invest capital in
the startups we work with

Why are we investing?

We want our work to help you raise the next round faster and bigger.

Our investment ties our upside to your valuation, not our service invoice. We chase business targets rather than vanity metrics. This is our way of saying that we believe in the founder and we want to build alongside them. This is real skin in the game.

Who Are We Investing In?

We back startups from pre-seed to Series C, led by founders with aggressive ambitions. We look for products where marketing can make a real difference to growth: categories where sharper positioning, better creative and smarter performance marketing can change the trajectory of a company.

If marketing can be your unfair advantage, we’d like to talk.

What Does It Mean For Founders?

We build the traction founders take into investor meetings: user growth, lower CAC and the revenue that makes the next round happen. As investors, that next round matters just as much to us as it does to the founders.

With our investment, founders get more than capital. They get a marketing partner for the whole journey, through thick and thin. When they launch a new product, enter a new market, pivot completely or prepare for the next raise, they will always have an experienced marketing team in their corner.

How Vidrow Works

Your problems become our problems.
That’s the only kind of partnership we build.

Your out-of-house marketing team.

We act as your marketing function, not a supplier to it. When a problem appears (a new channel, a pivot, a fundraise deadline that changes everything), we engage like a team member, not a vendor waiting for a brief. The scope expands and contracts with where you are.

We say no to transactional work.

If you come to us with “20 videos, one week, here’s the money”, we’ll pass. Not because we can’t. Because that’s not how meaningful work happens. We want the problem first. Every engagement starts with a conversation about where you are and what you’re trying to unlock.

Engineering mindset, creative output.

The team thinks in numbers first. Creativity is built on top of that. Most of our team comes from engineering and analytical backgrounds, IIT and equivalent. What that means in practice: every creative decision is tied to an outcome it’s supposed to produce.

Deep over wide, always.

We’d rather work deeply with five clients than superficially with fifty. Our client base is intentionally small. When you work with us, you get senior attention, not a junior team handling your account while the principals are elsewhere.

The Founders

Built by founders who have
already done this once.

Aditya Raj Somani

Aditya Raj Somani

Co-Founder

Aditya has been in the content industry since his college days at IITK, i.e. 12 years. It's the same amount of time he has been part of the startup ecosystem in India. When everyone in the content industry was chasing YouTube and OTT, Aditya built, scaled and sold his first startup - HPF Films - a short-form content engine in the pre-TikTok, pre-Reels era.

That combination of being a content native and a founder is what eventually led to this agency. He's sat on both sides of the table long enough to know what early-stage companies actually need from their marketing, and what they almost always don't get.

Anushank Jain

Anushank Jain

Co-Founder

Anushank has been in content and marketing for the past 12 years and part of the Indian startup ecosystem for the past 9 years. A 3x founder of HPF Films, Doeasily and Vidrow, Anushank sold his first startup HPF Films to ShareChat and built the ads engine for 30Mn users, adding adtech depth to his content and marketing background.

Given his understanding of content, marketing and product, he's uniquely placed to understand what startups at different stages require for marketing and how to efficiently reach their next fundraising target.

The Whole Team

A hub of left-brain creatives.

Most creative teams will tell you they’re data-driven. Ours didn’t have to learn that; it’s just how they’re wired. The team is largely IIT Kanpur alumni, which means systems thinking, first-principles reasoning, and an almost inconvenient obsession with how things actually work aren’t values we had to instill. They came standard.

Nipun Angrish

Nipun Angrish

Director - Brand & Content

Nipun graduated from Whistling Woods and has been working for eight years in entertainment and media, which is a long time to learn that the best story wins. He has worked with Zee Studios and Kiran Rao, and came out convinced of one thing: a sharp story wrapped in a pop-culture hook will outperform a fat budget any day.

Yash Choudhary

Yash Choudhary

Director - Performance & Ad Ops

An IIT and IIM grad, he sees performance marketing as a strategy game. Like Dota 2, it’s about reading the lane early and knowing when to farm and when to push. Like Hades, every run is a loop of small upgrades, and like Civilization, it’s a long game of compounding.

Aaryan Mehar

Aaryan Mehar

Creative Manager - Performance

Aaryan spent his undergrad years at IIT Kanpur in the rooms of literary societies, where he learned to wordsmith. Then came IPAC, where he built a deep, ground-level understanding of audiences. Today he combines both to build the most efficient, scalable performance marketing engine.

Narottam Kumar Pankaj

Narottam Kumar Pankaj

Creative Manager - Performance

If Narottam learned one thing in the corridors of IIT Kanpur’s Drama Society, it’s that a simple line can be made punchy. He wrote so many street plays on so many boring topics that he can now make the most boring product look thrilling. He’s convinced a good creative engine can change a company’s growth trajectory.

Shruthy Suvarna

Shruthy Suvarna

Creative Manager - Socials

Shruthy has spent 8 years making brands impossible to ignore, leading social and performance work for Publicis, GroupM, and Dentsu. Her own Instagram grew from 500 to 122K+ followers, with viral videos hitting 58M+ views. Turns out she knows how to stop a thumb mid-scroll and keep it there.

Prathamesh Wankar

Prathamesh Wankar

Creative Manager - Performance

Prathamesh started in the drama club at IIT Kanpur, writing skits for live audiences. Now he writes ads, which turns out to be the same craft with a shorter attention span to win over. He still believes every line has to earn its laugh, or its click.

Hashvith Naik

Hashvith Naik

Creative Associate - Performance

Hashvith runs on Rick Sanchez energy: question the process, find the shortcut, never spend an hour on a ten-minute task. An IIT Kanpur electrical engineer turned Creative Associate, he works where creative strategy meets analytical thinking.

Shivani Agrawal

Shivani Agrawal

Content Ops - Performance

Shivani keeps Content Ops and Performance work running smoothly. She turns scattered briefs and deadlines into work that ships and performs. She makes people’s dreams and Google Sheets come true, and she does it with a straight face.

Radhika Dhoot

Radhika Dhoot

Founders’ Office

Radhika is a little bit of everything, every day, and most days she is still working out what the everything is. Founders’ Office keeps her in the middle of it all, so she has seen every corner of Vidrow. Chaos is just her Tuesday.

Bably Dutta

Bably Dutta

Post Production Manager - Performance

Bably was once a girl with dreams. Now she’s a girl with an edit tracker, and somehow the dreams survived the transition. She keeps Post Production Performance on schedule, one cut at a time, and treats every timeline like it owes her an apology.

Ayush Harsh

Ayush Harsh

Post Production Manager - Performance

Others work to feed their families. Ayush works to keep his bike running, and the bike is the harder client. As Post Production Manager on Performance, he meets every deadline with the calm of someone who has survived worse.

Kiran Goud

Kiran Goud

Content Ops - Performance

Kiran walks into every shoot saying “Easy.” He walks out asking what they just shot. Then he edits it into something so good that he claims he knew it all along. Content Ops and Performance is his favourite genre: chaos to confidence.

Ekansh Johar

Ekansh Johar

Associate - Brand & Content

Ekansh works in brand marketing and has every celebrity’s contact saved in his phone. The celebrities, sadly, don’t have his number. He negotiates like an aunty and still walks away with freebies like an uncle.

Anil Siyak

Anil Siyak

Content Ops - Performance

Give Anil a messy task and a deadline, and he’ll take three breaks and solve it on the fourth. In Content Ops, he treats chaos as a warm-up round. Deadlines don’t stress him. They just set the pace.

Anil Kushwah

Anil Kushwah

Creative Associate - Performance

Anil believes careers aren’t built overnight. They grow when you choose to get a little better every day, and he takes that seriously. As a Creative Associate in Performance marketing, he is quietly stacking small wins, one day at a time.

Sneha Das

Sneha Das

Creative Writer - Performance

Sneha is a copywriter with a background in advertising and PR, now writing performance scripts and copy. She hunts for the right hook, turns simple briefs into things people want to watch or read, and is still finding her voice. Her secret ingredient? A little PJ in every script.

Utkarsh Kumar

Utkarsh Kumar

Post Production Associate - Performance

Utkarsh is a writer, director, actor, and unofficial snack manager on the Post Production team. He has led teams, made independent projects, and delivered fast, mostly on chai, deadlines, and pure jugaad. His stories stick with people long after the pack-up.

Sandeep S

Sandeep S

Post Production Associate - Brand

Sandeep runs Post Production like a machine, turning raw footage into finished work at a pace that makes deadlines look relaxed. Give him a timeline and he’ll hand back something polished before anyone else has finished their coffee.

Anshika Bhatnagar

Anshika Bhatnagar

Creative Associate - Social

Anshika works in social media, which means she gets paid to scroll. The catch is she has to decide what’s worth stopping for, and she’s very good at it. As a Creative Associate on Social, she turns an endless feed into ideas people actually stop for.
