Work with Shashwat as your Fractional CMO
He has 10+ years of fractional experience. You can run GTM like a one person team with AI agents, and bring in a fractional CMO when a tool is not enough. There are three ways to start: book a discovery call, ask for a GTM audit, or ask for a custom quote.

Who it is for
- Series A and B startups scaling their marketing function
- Mid sized IT and ITeS companies that need strategic marketing leadership
- Growing B2B companies without a full time CMO budget
What he takes on
He owns the marketing and demand generation plans, builds and mentors the team, sets up processes and spend, tracks the few results that matter each quarter, and is a sounding board for the executive team.
What that has looked like
- VP Marketing, Happay: 161% ARR growth. 2x exit: to CRED ($180M), then MakeMyTrip.
- VP Global Performance Marketing, Locus: $4.2M pipeline. Acquired by IKEA (Ingka Group) in Oct 2025.
- Fractional CMO, FieldAssist: 2.25x growth in mid-market and enterprise qualified leads.
Where growth stalls
- Poor funnel growth
- Low SALs from events
- Low awareness in the market
- Zero ROI on brand spend
What helps: Choose the motion that should lead before spending more. Start with GTM Alpha, which scores the four ways to grow and names the one to lead with; or ICP Intelligence, which sizes your market and describes your best fit customers from your data.
- Slow sales conversion
- Long sales cycles
- Wrong use case mapping
- Incoherent storytelling
What helps: Sharpen your positioning and message, and prepare each deal. Start with IMPACT, which turns your product and buyer into a positioning statement and message; or Revenue Enablement, which prepares a deal: plan, questions, ROI case and emails. A free mutual action plan template shows the plan step by step. In Claude, the B2B Deal Execution plugin reviews a stalled deal and builds the close plan with the buyer.
- Low adoption rate
- Poor ROI realization
- Broken value delivery
- Improper onboarding
What helps: Confirm product market fit, then plan the launch. Start with CRAFT GTM, which does both.
- Low NPS and NRR
- Slow ARR expansion
- Stuck in change management
- High churn rate
What helps: Spot at risk accounts early, then run onboarding, reviews and renewals step by step. Start with the Customer Success: Churn and QBRs plugin, which gives Claude Code skills for account health, onboarding, reviews and renewals.
