I help AI app founders build repeatable distribution systems to reach their next 1M users without burning cash.
I'm Ar.Bhavesh, an AI app growth marketer. I scaled ZuAI from 10K to 2M users at $0.02 CAC using TikTok UGC, Reddit and paid acquisition. I'm not an agency. I'm one operator, hands-on inside your growth stack.

Read the case owned territoryhow to get users from subreddits without getting banned. built the expensive way, across 40+ banned accounts.
see the playbooks the enginea UGC system with a small bench of creators, raw phone-shot ads, and winners spun into variants overnight.
how it worksan architect's discipline applied to growth. every engagement runs the same four beats.
your funnel, your CAC, your creative history. no opinions before data.
first creative batch and channel tests live in days, not after a strategy phase.
winners get variants, losers get killed. pass or fail criteria written before spend.
what works becomes a system that keeps producing winners without you.
you leave with a plan, either way.
a call where i walk through your growth stack and tell you exactly what i'd fix first. no pitch deck, no agency handoff.
book the free callpass or fail, written before we spend.
a 10 day channel validation. raw UGC volume, real spend, and a verdict you can take to your investors.
how sprints workinside your accounts, not above them.
monthly, end to end. GTM, creative engine, Reddit, paid. no account managers between us.
what embedding meansfrom 96+ founder meetings and a top 1% badge on topmate. verbatim, nothing edited:
"Ar.Bhavesh helped us grow ZuAI from 10k to 1M+ users with just 2 cents CAC. He's not just a growth hacker, he builds repeatable systems."
"Working with Ar.Bhavesh felt like unlocking cheat codes for growth. In just weeks, we saw a spike in signups, retention, and word of mouth. He just gets how to scale the right way, fast."
"Ar.Bhavesh is a growth marketer who believes in giving immense amounts of value upfront and prioritizing long term relationships. He's super knowledgeable on performance marketing and showed me the inner workings of his $100k/month ad account which was super cool and insightful. He helped me save money on subscriptions by recommending a free anti detect browser and nice proxy provider, and helped me decide what ads to test first for my campaign. Highly recommend talking to him, he won't hard sell you on anything as this isnt some sneaky sales call so you can expect him to always lead with value."
"Generous, professional, very smart and sharp. I liked the most that you gave me homework and a clear direction. Thank you very very much!"
"I had a really good session with Ar.Bhavesh. He told me the exact things which will work according to my application and use cases. He even gave me practical advices which are relevant and I will be implementing them for my GTM strategies of Blipai.app. I would recommend him 200% for every GTM strategy consultation."
"I expected a typical marketing consultation, but this felt more like having a Head of Growth. Ar.Bhavesh quickly identified our acquisition issues, suggested experiments tailored to our app, and prioritized the highest-impact opportunities. Highly recommended."
"Really great and valuable feedbacks. Thanks for that!"
"He broke down our SAAS go to market plan like a real GTM strategist. His AI growth marketing framework showed us exactly what to double down on, and what to drop. Felt like a cheat code for SaaS founder like me."
i trained as an architect in new delhi. buildings taught me that a beautiful plan nobody executes is just expensive paper. that lesson carried through design work, then 6+ years of growth, GTM and n8n automations with AI startups across the US, europe and india.
the failures taught more than the wins. 40+ banned Reddit accounts. monaco and oslo tests that returned nothing. polished ads that lost to one shot on a phone.
Ar.Bhavesh Panse. architect by training, AI app growth marketer by trade. i scaled ZuAI from 10K to 2M users at $0.02 CAC in eleven months with TikTok UGC, Reddit and paid, and i now work with consumer AI founders from san jose, california.
i find the channel that works for your app and then run it. that means writing creative briefs, building and killing campaigns, posting in the subreddits where your users already are, and reading the numbers weekly. if the work ends in a document, that is a consultant. if it ends in campaigns that are live, that is an operator.
it was one channel run properly for eleven months, not a trick. high creative volume, 150+ a month, a rule that nothing counts unless the user came back, and reddit supplying both early users and the language that made the paid creative work. most of the work was repetitive. your number will depend on your category, country and price point, so treat mine as proof of method rather than a target.
if you have not measured retention, if your product is unfinished, or if your monthly acquisition budget is under about $5,000. in all three cases the money is better spent elsewhere and i will say so on the call. there is a free tool on this site built specifically to tell founders they are too early, including for me.
founders of consumer AI and consumer SaaS apps, post-seed to series A, in the US and europe. usually a team of 2 to 15 with no growth hire yet. i do not do white-label agency work, B2B enterprise sales cycles, or brand awareness projects with no performance accountability.
the breakdown call is free, no pitch deck, no agency handoff. sprints and monthly retainers are scoped on that call based on your stage and channels. you start small and there are no lock-in contracts.
an agency gives you a team and a process, and there is a point where that is exactly what you should buy. before that point you are mostly paying account managers to learn your product. i am one operator doing the execution myself, which means no handoffs and genuinely limited availability.
no. the system is GTM, a UGC creative engine testing 150+ ads a month, SAFE reddit seeding, n8n and claude automations, and paid scaling behind proven winners. channels earn budget by passing tests, not by being fashionable.
week one is reading what already exists: funnel, CAC, creative history, retention. week two the first tests go live. weeks three and four are iteration on whatever showed signal. you get a written update every week with the numbers, and a clear pass or fail at the end.

the breakdown call is free. i'll walk through what's happening in your growth stack and exactly what i'd do in your context. no pitch deck, no agency handoff.
