Based in India, working with early stage teams that want calm and predictable operations without killing speed.

The Fornclakes playbook is built from work at these teams

Who is behind Fornclakes

I am Ashutosh, a strategy and operations professional with experience in founder office roles, high intent sales, and business consulting. I have launched new verticals, run programs end to end, moved teams onto better systems, and kept execution aligned across functions.

Fornclakes is my way of bringing that execution playbook to early stage founders who want someone in the trenches with them, not just a deck and a weekly call.

  • Program and project management for education and upskilling businesses
  • Process design and workflow improvement with tools your team already uses
  • Hands on support for sales, accounts, and partner operations

How I work with founders

Operational design and workflow systems

I sit with you and your team, map what is actually happening, and turn it into simple flows and ownership that people can follow without you watching every channel. Tools are usually Sheets, Notion, or what you use already.

Workflow and systems visual

Team execution and delivery management

From interns to first hires, I help you set up rhythms, standups, and tracking so that work ships on time. Clear owners, simple trackers, and fewer last minute fires.

Founder support and light chief of staff

I keep your week, goals, and dashboards in one place and help you prepare for important calls and reviews. Think of it as a light chief of staff that also executes, not just sends reminders.

Go to market and performance operations

I set up basic revenue operations blocks like simple funnel views, lead flows, and reports, so you can see what is working without digging through ten different sheets.

I work inside the tools your team already uses

From Notion and Sheets to Slack and Trello, I build systems where your team already spends its day.
