Who is Da Sachin Sharma?
Da Sachin Sharma helps businesses grow by building strong brands and putting AI to work where it solves a real problem. Across 18+ years in branding, advertising and filmmaking, he has worked on both sides of Indian business: traditional MSME brands and new-age D2C brands.
He founded and ran his own agency, da kaizen solutions, serving brands such as Starbucks, Reliance Life Insurance and Future Group alongside many MSME brands, handling brand strategy, digital and social campaigns, and content production.
As Brand Head at A&A Business Consulting, he helped 200+ Indian MSMEs build, rebrand and scale across consumer electronics, food, garments and apparel. His MSME work includes Holi Gala, Rahul Gogri Designs, Gulabo, Bakers Ville, Mobilla, Armofs, Kwality Bakers and Axiom. Working closely with founders and family businesses, he turned local, traditional enterprises into modern, recognisable brands. On the D2C side, he built ACwO, a consumer electronics brand, from scratch: its name, logo, identity, go-to-market strategy and positioning, and led it as Chief of Brand.
That range has given him a working knowledge of Indian markets and consumers: how buyers in different categories and cities think, what makes them notice, trust and buy, and how a brand must speak differently to each.
What does he do today?
Through X DOT AI, he trains and consults brands, agencies and corporates on implementing AI across branding, marketing, content and business operations, and has trained 1,000+ professionals so far. He has led AI training and team building for Zee Entertainment, Saregama, EPAM and Shemaroo Entertainment. For Zudio, he built an AI-powered footwear design tool around the brand's own design process.
