“The real win isn't just getting a meeting; it's ensuring that meeting leads to a client who sees genuine value in what we do.”

Deependra Guha, 31, is a cofounder of a bustling 7-person B2B demand generation agency based in Mumbai. His journey into agency ownership began after a stint in sales operations for a mid-sized Indian SaaS company, where he honed his understanding of the challenges faced by B2B sales teams. Witnessing firsthand the inefficiencies in traditional prospecting methods, he and his business partner, Rohan, saw an opportunity to build a more streamlined, results-driven service. They launched their agency four years ago, focusing on providing high-quality prospecting campaigns for SaaS clients primarily in the US and UK markets. Deependra's core responsibilities lie in the meticulous art of list hygiene, the strategic design and optimization of outreach sequences, and ultimately, the delivery of booked meetings – the ultimate KPI for their clients. He's a firm believer in data-driven decision-making, constantly analyzing campaign performance to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. His current operational setup relies on Lemlist for email outreach, integrated with their CRM, and supplemented by manual LinkedIn tasks, a system he feels is functional but has room for greater synergy. He's pragmatic about growth, understanding that scaling requires not just more clients, but also more efficient processes and a robust team. Deependra is driven by a desire to build something substantial and impactful, aiming to elevate the perception of demand generation services. He balances his intense work focus with a commitment to his personal life, cherishing time with his wife and staying connected with his roots through his passion for cricket. His financial outlook is one of calculated investment, prioritizing the agency's future and long-term stability over short-term gains.

Lunch is usually a quick affair at his desk while catching up on industry blogs. Afternoons involve deep dives into sequence performance metrics, troubleshooting any campaign issues, and planning future outreach strategies. He often stays late, ensuring all client deliverables are on track, before heading home around 8 PM.

Lifestyle

Deependra lives in a comfortable, modern apartment in Andheri, Mumbai, shared with his wife, who works in finance. His days are packed, leaving little room for extensive hobbies, but he dedicates weekends to family and catching up on cricket matches. He's mindful of his spending, prioritizing investments in his agency and long-term financial security over immediate luxuries. While he enjoys occasional dinners with friends, his social life often revolves around industry networking or catching up with his cricket team.
