Umanshi Marketing Enters 8th Yr with 50% Growth Ambition, AI-Powered Service Delivery and New Wins
Umanshi Marketing & PR, a boutique agency, has announced a 50% revenue growth target for FY 2026-27. The growth ambition is backed by acceleration of the agency’s AI integration across its service delivery and reinforced by the recent onboarding of 3 new clients: Academio Educational Solutions, Omji Spiritual Stays and the IIM Calcutta Alumni Association Mumbai, spanning education, spiritual tourism and alumni engagement.
The announcement marks a defining moment for the agency as it enters its 8th year. A central pillar of the agency’s FY 2026-27 direction is the formalisation and acceleration of AI across its service delivery. While most of the industry is using AI for research, content generation and competitive intelligence, Umanshi has been building something deeper over the past several months: custom workflows embedded into how its strategy, digital and communication teams actually operate. These workflows support sharper strategic thinking, enhanced creative output and more insight-led client engagement, without compromising on the human judgment and craft that the agency is known for.
“AI is not changing what we do. It’s changing how deeply we deliver our work. At Umanshi, we’ve moved beyond using AI as a surface-level tool for content or research. We’re building it into our workflows to strengthen how we think, how we identify patterns across industries and how we arrive at sharper, faster strategic decisions. The real impact is on our people. By reducing time spent on repetitive layers of execution, our team is able to focus on what actually moves the needle for clients — from category creation to GTM: solving real business problems alongside founders.” says Tamanna Gupta, Founder, Umanshi Marketing. “This shift is directly linked to our 50% growth ambition for FY 2026–27. Not just in revenue, but in the kind of work we do and the value we bring to the table. Today, clients don’t need agencies that execute tasks. They need partners who understand the business, challenge thinking and build with them. That’s the space we are deliberately building for.” added Tamanna.
The 3 new client onboardings reflect Umanshi Marketing’s capability to service clients across diverse sectors. Across these mandates, the agency is focused on co-achieving outcomes such as category creation, go-to-market acceleration, client acquisition and clearer market positioning. This is being enabled through a mix of tools including PR, digital marketing, communication strategy and website development. Speaking about the engagement, Nitasha Sagar Kukar, Founder and CEO, Academio, said, “Umanshi Marketing came highly recommended and what stood out was the Umanshi team’s strong credentials and deep experience in the education space. Their enthusiasm and strategic clarity made the decision to work with them an easy one.”
Omji Spiritual Stays, a faith-tech platform digitising ashram and dharamshala stays has engaged Umanshi for category creation and go-to-market strategy as it builds India’s first organised spiritual stays platform. Speaking about the partnership, Vishwanath, Co-founder and CEO, Omji, said, “We chose Umanshi for Omji’s digital marketing and social media mandate because they understood the brand immediately. The aesthetic they suggested resonated with us, their capabilities were end-to-end and they have the startup DNA to operate with agility. This combination of skills is not something you find easily.”
The IIM Calcutta Alumni Association Mumbai has partnered with Umanshi for a full website development mandate. The project reflects how the agency is applying its AI-led workflows to go beyond design, enabling a more structured, intuitive digital ecosystem that strengthens alumni discovery, interaction and community building for one of India’s most respected institutional networks.
With these additions and a clear view on how AI will shape its service delivery going forward, Umanshi continues to deepen its cross-sector portfolio. Now in its 8th year, the agency has worked with over 200 brands across 60+ industries and continues to operate as a boutique setup by design, with hands-on leadership involvement across every mandate.
