About Me

Akash Agarwal

Are you someone who shares my passion for building thriving communities with purpose and achieving business goals with them?

Hi, I am Akash Agrawal, A Community Builder by passion and profession.

I have successfully crafted vibrant communities for diverse organizations, each with their own unique vision and purpose.

I have been building communities for more than 2 years, but that's officially.

The truth is, that community building has been a part of me all along. Even before I knew the formal terminology for it.

I built thriving gaming communities of gamers, for World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Counter Strike. Expanding them over time by delegating responsibilities to other passionate users.

With Community Folks I have built and scaled communities in EdTech, ClimateTech, SAAS, TravelTech, FinTech, Gaming and e-mobility sectors. I am an ex-founder and currently a founding member, which enables me to align the community and business goals

Before this, I co-founded a real estate business, led it to success within a year. After successfully handing all the responsibilities to my partners I transitioned to working as a graphic designer for four years before discovering my true calling in community building.

I have been hosting online and offline events for all the communities I have worked with. I have also hosted global events with Commsor and Led By Community.

I am a founding team member of a TravelTech startup called "Travander."

Additionally, I am the Director, Asia for Led By Community focused on enabling the community ecosystem in Asia Pacific.

My ultimate goal is to bring together like-minded individuals and foster a strong sense of community, while also delivering significant business value.

I approach community building with a deep understanding of its transformative potential for businesses. I recognize that a thriving community is more than just a collection of individuals, it is a catalyst for growth, customer loyalty, and brand advocacy. By prioritizing authentic engagement, fostering inclusivity, and cultivating a sense of belonging, I consistently deliver tangible results for the organizations I serve.

Helping others and bringing people together is what truly motivates me, and I'm always just a ping away!

I'm also a huge animal lover with a soft spot for creatures big and small, whether they reside on land, in the mountains, or in the sea and sky

According to me,

Community Builders are the Unsung Superheroes who don’t wear capes.
