About

I’m Kanishka Thakur, a growth-focused GTM and sales operator who enjoys building repeatable outreach and pipeline systems that actually convert. I’ve worked end-to-end across ICP research, outbound messaging (with variant testing), lead nurturing, call booking, and weekly reporting—plus training and managing setters/closers to keep lead flow consistent.

Alongside GTM, I run content operations that support the pipeline: LinkedIn and Instagram strategy, scheduling, engagement, and content testing to attract the right audience. I also automate workflows using tools like GoHighLevel, n8n, and AI agents, so my teams can move faster while keeping outreach natural, accurate, and founder-aligned.
