Towards Infinity

Ram
Bansal

A curious generalist who built and scaled an education venture across three market tiers over 5.5 years — now seeking to bring that operator intensity to an AI startup or VC firm.

The Positioning

I turn chaos into structured frameworks, people into high-trust teams, and ambiguity into forward motion. I've operated across analytics, product, hiring, community, and creative — the full surface area a founder needs covered by one person who gets it.

The Arc

In 2018, straight out of IIT Roorkee, I co-founded Explorin with two friends and a belief that India's college students deserved more than a placement cell. The name came from my core conviction — that I was born to explore infinity.

What followed was 5.5 years of building through radical uncertainty. We made three pivots, each serving a different tier of the Indian education market — from IITs and NITs to private colleges — evolving from online exploration programs to DSA training to full offline placement partnerships.

I wore every hat. Analytics. Sales. Coaching. Community. Content. Operations. I managed a team of 20 across full-time and consultants, including IIT graduates. We operated across three cities. And I personally conducted over 1,000 one-on-one mentorship sessions, averaging 30+ minutes each.

I left when I lost connection with the original mission of turning dreamers into achievers. The hardest decision — and the most honest one.

What I Bring to the Table

From serving students to serving entrepreneurs

🤝
Emotional Support
1,000+ mentorship sessions. I know how to hold space for ambitious humans at their most vulnerable — when the dream feels impossible. This transfers directly to founder support.
🌐
Network Access
7 years of building communities across IITs, tech, and finance. 100,000+ students served means a deep network of rising professionals — future co-founders, early employees, and advisors.
🧭
Mentorship & Coaching
Career guidance, self-awareness coaching, and helping people discover what they truly want. For entrepreneurs, this becomes founder clarity — the most underrated form of support.
Execution Support
Built SOPs, branding, operations across 3 cities. I know how to go from zero to one — and how to help others do it. Not advice from the sidelines, but rolling-up-sleeves support.
📊
Finance & Analytics
IIT Roorkee AIR 3541. Founded Finance Club. WorldQuant background. Comfortable with valuation, financial modeling, and the analytical rigor that venture support demands.
🎤
Storytelling & Pitching
Spoken at IIT Roorkee convocation hall. Created a web series. B2B and B2C pitch experience — I know how to tell a founder's story in a way that opens doors.
🛠️
Tech-Forward Building
Cursor, Claude, Vapi, PostHog, n8n — I build with modern tools. I can help portfolio founders accelerate with AI-native workflows and no-code/low-code infrastructure.
🔥
Leadership
Built a team of 25+ IITians from scratch and led them for 5.5 years across 3 cities. Corporate sales, B2C sales automation, and the full operational weight of running a company — hiring, culture, accountability, and tough calls.
To generate infinite value in a form that stays relevant forever.

My aim is to explore infinity via empowering trustworthy high-agency humans to turn their dreams into reality — achieving at least 10% success rate by serving 100 entrepreneurs within 10 years.

— Ram Bansal, My Purpose
Origin

Born in 1996 in Rampura Phul, a small town near Bathinda in Punjab. Raised in a joint family of ten. My father took over the family business at fourteen. My mother built the home that made everything possible.

Mathematics was the first love — a childhood obsession that carried me through JEE Advanced (AIR 3541) and into IIT Roorkee, where the real education began: not in classrooms, but in the people I met and the ideas we couldn't stop chasing.

I've always believed the deepest skill isn't any single domain — it's the ability to hold multiple worlds in your head at once and find the thread that connects them. That's what generalists do. That's what I do.
