The minds behind the machine.
Two Founders. One Obsession. Your Growth.
AKN was not built in a boardroom. It was built by two founders who saw exactly what growing businesses were missing, and built the agency to fix it.
Our origin.
Two founders, one city, no investors.
Two founders, no agency background between us, working out of Warangal.
The gap we set out to work in is a narrow one. A restaurant, a clinic or a boutique here can pay a few thousand rupees for a template nobody maintains, or five figures to a city studio that has never been to the street the shop is on. There is not much in between, and the businesses in between are the ones we build for.
We are early enough that we are still proving that. The pricing, the founding partner rate and the fact that this page does not carry a client count are all the same admission.
Co-Founder, CEO & Sales Head.
Shaik Ashraf Ali
Ashraf leads AKN as CEO and heads sales. He's the first voice every business hears, translating what they actually need into what we actually build.
Every conversation starts the same way: what the business actually sells, who is already buying it, and what is getting in the way. Nothing is quoted until those three are written down. No scripts, and no proposal bigger than the problem.
His job is to make sure every engagement AKN signs is one we can genuinely win for the client. If it isn't the right fit, he'll say so.
“Sales isn't about closing deals. It's about opening relationships that compound over time.”
What Shaik Leads
- Company vision and direction
- Client relationships and sales strategy
- New business and partnerships
Co-Founder & Content Head.
Koushal PR
Koushal decides what AKN says and how often it says it. His argument, and the reason the calendars he builds are boring on purpose: one decent post a week for a year beats a burst in March.
He treats the calendar as the product: what goes out, in what order, and who each piece is for. Most of what he cuts is the writing that exists to sound impressive rather than to be useful.
“Content is not what you post. It is what people remember about you after they stop scrolling.”
What Koushal Leads
- Content strategy and production
- Social media growth systems
- Brand voice and communication
Three rules, including the one that costs us work.
We are new, and we say so
AKN is two founders and a short history. We are not going to dress that up with a client count or a years-in-business number. What we will do is show you the build, tell you what we would fix first, and let you judge the work instead of the CV.
The launch is the least interesting day
What matters is the month after it: what people actually searched before they called, which page they left from, and what changes because of that. That work sits in the monthly plan, not in an upsell email six weeks later.
We would rather lose the job than oversell it
If a one-page site and a properly built Google listing is what your business needs, that is what we will quote, even though the bigger build pays us more. If we are the wrong studio for the job, we will tell you that too.
