Ujwal Arkalgud

Anthropologist-Entrepreneur × Growth Coach

Ujwal has leveraged his unique growth-engineering approach to bootstrap MotivBase to a 10X multiple exit and even revive $50M PE-backed firms. He now teaches entrepreneurs, leaders of mid-sized firms and scale-ups, and corporate innovation teams how to leverage Invisible Rules to uncover unspoken decision factors, accelerate growth, and minimize wasted time and capital.

In his talks, you’ll learn to decode hidden buyer criteria, master attention and credibility triggers, close deals faster, achieve product–market fit twice as fast, and scale without guesswork.

“Ujwal is one of the smartest, most creative, and most insightful people I have ever had the honor of working with. Whenever I worked on a project with him, I knew the outcome would be stronger than if I had worked on the project without him. Besides being a brilliant mind and having a huge heart, he is also just fun and interesting person to chat with over a coffee or beer.”

“Listen up, entrepreneurs: any advice from Ujwal is gold. He built a scalable, highly profitable business—without external funding—so naturally optimized for a high-value exit. He paired that with an uncanny ability to sell, always tuning into buyers’ needs and never letting up. You can’t go wrong learning his frameworks.”
