Dr. Ankoor Dasguupta is a CXO at Garage Collective, a Leadership and Business Communication Coach (PCC – ICF accredited), a TEDx Speaker, and a widely respected global thought leader in leadership, branding, and purpose-driven communication. With over 24+ years of experience across media, marketing, leadership development, and brand strategy, he has transformed how people, organizations, and leaders show up in the world.

A powerful believer in energy as the silent architecture of leadership, Dr. Ankoor blends strategy with soul, performance with purpose, and influence with authenticity. From mentoring future leaders to judging global platforms like Stevies & Smarties Awards, his work stands at the intersection of human potential and business transformation. His philosophy reflects Kaizen β€” continuous growth through awareness, discipline, and inner evolution.

Dr. Ankoor describes himself as an average student who faced multiple failures early in life, yet always carried a deep inner knowing that he was meant to serve a larger purpose. A musician by passion, a tabla player, and a lover of performing arts, his early exposure to theatre, classical music, and creative spaces in Delhi shaped his creative intelligence.

He also launched multiple international event IPs in India, worked with global teams, traveled extensively, and collaborated across cultures. These experiences taught him that while people everywhere are similar, the way cultures communicate, trust, and execute makes the real difference.

After years in advertising and marketing, he transitioned into leadership coaching, becoming a PCC-level ICF-accredited coach, where he now works with senior global CXOs and leadership teams.
