The roast

Akshat claims he bridges hard data and soft culture while posting 37 times a month to an audience that ignores him 99.75% of the time. He’s the only person at the Clinton Health Access Initiative whose biggest contribution to global health is polluting the feed with enough lukewarm LinkedIn copy to induce a coma.

About Akshat

Every company can ship a product or buy an AI tool. But here's what I see go wrong, in both directions:- Thing gets pitched in its own language ("efficiency gains," "feature-rich") instead of the user's- Success gets measured by launch and not by whether behaviour actually changed- Everyone owns the build. Who owns the adoption? I do. Outward, that's product marketing, getting a market to choose you. Inward, that's AI adoption, getting global teams to use what you paid for. Writing this from a cozy corner in a Gurgaon cafe. 4:33 PM. Must finish Before the Coffee Gets Cold.TLDR: I bridge hard data and soft culture. What that's looked like:- AI transformation at Clinton Health Access Initiative across 30+ countries- GLP-1 brand strategy (positioning, GTM, customer insights) at Novo Nordisk in 3 countries- Global expansion for tech startupsAt the core, I get dropped into situations nobody's cracked yet and asked to figure it out. My measure of a good engagement is when the system runs without me after I leave.3 ways we can work together:1. Build with me: From AI agents to brand foundations, I enjoy "can someone make this work" problems.2. Think with me: Advisory for the 0→1, be it org-wide AI strategy or entering a new market.3. Talk To Me: I speak on AI and brand across cultures. Open to stages, trainings, and collabs. All roads lead to the same inbox: workwithakshatkharbanda@gmail.comOr DM your best book rec or travel story. Both work.P.S. 5 Easter eggs here. Found any?

  • I've spent 1 year getting companies to use AI more. Rising usage is BAD news in 2026. An employee opens a deck they've already read, pastes it into Claude, asks for a summary, table. 47 mins later? 8-page artifact and Teams status that stayed green throughout. Nothing moved. You track queries, sessions, active seats, stickiness. Except an employee performing productivity generates the same green line as a productive one. 3 tests tell the difference: 1) Decisions changed: If the brief didn't change what anyone did, it doesn't count 2) Named defenders: Every AI deliverable gets one human

  • Why the f*ck is every Indian bank calling me after GST registration?! I'm a freelancer with international clients. GST, for me, is pure compliance overhead. Grit your teeth and get it done. Move on. Except the moment I hit submit? BAM. Every bank has my deets. My phone has never rung this much in my life, and not one of these is about anything I asked for. So here's a public FYI: Register for GST, become a lead. There is no privacy. Everyone loses. I dodge calls I never wanted. They chase a man who'd beg on the street before bank with them. I burn energy I can't spare as a one-person sh
