Ameya Sahasrabudhe

Who Ameya Sahasrabudhe is

Ameya Sahasrabudhe is a co-founder of Foxnut Studios, the consulting, games and publishing studio built between Bengaluru and Paris, and is based in Bengaluru. Before founding the studio he founded the travel company Ithaka, co-built the art-supplies brand Viviva Colors, and built a rural telesales channel at Mahindra-backed Carnot. He is an IIT Bombay graduate.

What Ameya Sahasrabudhe has built

Three ventures, each with the specific number it is known by. The table lists each venture, what it is, and its record; the paragraphs after it say where each number stands on sourcing. Each number also appears, with its full method and source status, on the studio’s consolidated record.

Ithaka. Ameya Sahasrabudhe founded Ithaka and led it, from 2016 to 2020, to 500k+ app downloads and 100,000+ trips planned across a base of 500,000+ users, 50,000 of them paying end-to-end customers, with a net NPS of 70 from 30,000+ survey respondents. These figures come from Ithaka’s internal records, which he holds as its former founder and CEO; they are not externally retrievable, and the studio’s consolidated record states each one with its method, sample and period. Public 2017 press coverage records the earlier milestones on the same curve.

Viviva Colors. He co-built Viviva Colors, whose pocket watercolour sheets are manufactured in Nashik and used by 20,000 artists across 90+ countries. The 90+ figure is the externally retrievable one and is what this page publishes; the founder cites a higher count in conversation, and this page will carry it the day a public source does.

Carnot. At Mahindra-backed Carnot he built a rural telesales channel that reached ₹6.6 crore in annual recurring revenue within five months. The figure is his own first-hand record from building that channel; it is not externally retrievable and is published here as such.

What Ameya Sahasrabudhe does at Foxnut Studios

He works client briefs directly, because the studio has no other tier: the practitioner who signs a Foxnut Studios proposal is the practitioner who works the brief, from kickoff to final deliverable. The consulting practice he works within covers growth strategy, marketing, sales and revenue operations, go-to-market strategy, and AI enablement, and its filter is his own founding rule: the studio does not advise on anything it has not done, or is not willing to do itself.

The record above is what that filter rests on for him personally. Advising on go-to-market is backed by go-to-market he has run on his own products; advising on revenue channels is backed by a channel he built to ₹6.6 crore ARR inside someone else’s company; advising on consumer products is backed by a consumer brand whose manufacturing he helped stand up in Nashik. Where a brief falls outside that record, the studio’s stated position is to say so and decline.

He co-founded the studio with Swati Thakur, the studio’s other co-founder, whose own record runs through Paris luxury-tech marketing.

Education and background

Ameya Sahasrabudhe is an IIT Bombay graduate, class of 2013. The through-line of the record above is commercial building rather than a single discipline: a consumer travel product, a physical consumer brand with real manufacturing behind it, and a revenue channel inside a funded agritech company.
