Hi, I'm Manan.
I run AI Crew.
Restaurateur turned marketer turned AI operator. I have spent the last decade building businesses, the last two years installing AI inside them, and the last six months turning that into a separate practice for founders and professionals.
Why AI Crew exists.
I started in restaurants. Built and ran them. Got burnt out. Walked away and started MarketinCrew, a marketing agency that grew into a 50-person team, shipping work for 300+ brands across India, Europe and North America.
Two years ago I became obsessed with AI. Not the hype. The actual transformation it ran on my own day. Email triaged. Meetings prepped. Content drafted. Decisions sharper. The hours I worked went down. The output went up. The quality went up.
So I started installing AI inside my agency. Outreach systems. Content engines. Internal tools. Custom GPTs for every team. And then I started doing the same for clients. They were marketing clients to begin with, but the work I was doing for them was no longer marketing. It was AI.
Founders kept asking me, almost weekly, the same thing. "Can you do this for me, in my business?" That question kept landing. So I made it a real thing.
That is AI Crew. A separate practice for founders and high-earning professionals who do not have time to figure AI out themselves, and do not want a generic SaaS plug-in. They want it built for them, run for them, and managed by someone with skin in the game.
AI Crew is one part of a bigger machine.
When you work with AI Crew, you tap into the full MarketinCrew universe. 50 people. Studios. A podcast. A French marketing arm. All behind one face.

12 years. 50 people. Brands across India, Europe and North America. Click any cover for the story.
AI Crew is itself built using AI.
Every page on this site, every campaign you see go out, every system behind the scenes was built with AI in the loop. We document the journey publicly. Same way we will build yours.
Three audio walks in Paris, transcribed by Fireflies, turned into a full brand brief by Claude.
Stitch + Claude Code shipped a working multi-page site to Vercel in under a day.
Apollo + Clay + custom GPTs. Hyper-personalised outreach to founders + professionals across IN, UK, FR.
Founder of a B2B SaaS in Mumbai. Three pillars deployed in 30 days.
Four things I believe.
AI without context is noise.
A generic GPT plug-in for a law firm versus a clinic versus a SaaS founder is a different problem each time. Context first, tool second.
One face, full agency behind.
You should never need to brief five vendors. You brief me. The 50-person agency runs the build behind the scenes.
Build in public. Always.
If we cannot show it working on our own business first, we will not sell it to you. AI Crew runs on the same systems you will get.
Stay on, do not hand off.
Every engagement is a partnership. We build, run and manage. The AI stack is never done, so we never stop.
