Ankur is dedicated to building the capability of individuals and organisations by developing and harnessing Intent & Relevance with a special focus on Sales Capability development through “Shopper Based Value Creation” and resulting Commercial Excellence.

Ankur’s dedication is brought to life through two concepts that are the brainchild of ASB which are “Route to Shopper®” and “Intentonomics”.

Ankur also dedicates a big portion of his time to public and community service and he is the first-ever Asian-origin Councillor to have been elected to Bracknell Forest Borough Council and also the first person of Indian-origin to be elected Mayor of the Borough in United Kingdom.

During his experience, Ankur has focused on the development of “Right Intent” in individuals and organisations to achieve their goals. It has been achieved through Ankur’s involvement in various challenges towards enabling and developing capability across Leadership, Sales, Shopper (customer/Trade) Marketing, Technology adoption, Analytics & Public service.
