Who is Ar.Bhavesh Panse?
AI app growth marketer and growth operator for consumer AI founders, working from San Jose, California. Architect by training, operator by trade.
Ar.Bhavesh Panse is a growth marketer operator. He scaled ZuAI from 10K to 2M users at $0.02 CAC with TikTok UGC, Reddit and paid, and now works with consumer AI and consumer SaaS founders, post-seed to Series A, in the US and Europe. Not an agency: one operator, inside your ad account and your subreddits, hands on keyboard.
What does a growth marketer operator do?
The work is the whole loop rather than one channel: GTM, a UGC creative engine testing 150+ ads a month, SAFE Reddit seeding, n8n and Claude automations, and paid scaling behind proven winners. Channels earn budget by passing tests, not by being fashionable.
What has he actually shipped?
The public number is ZuAI: 10K to 2M users at $0.02 blended CAC, documented in the case study. The method behind it is written up in the open in the playbooks, including the SAFE Reddit playbook that cost 40+ accounts to learn.
What is the Social Burning strategy?
It is the organic to paid framework he created and published for free at socialburning.com. An app runs several niche content accounts, each posting original video daily, scores every video at the end of the month, and promotes only the proven winners as Spark Ads or partnership ads, so ad budget follows what audiences already chose. He also runs Goal Digger Club, his growth practice and founder community. For founders who want the framework run with their team, see Social Burning for your app.
How does working together start?
With a free live breakdown of your growth stack: no pitch deck, no agency handoff. If the numbers say there is a fit, a 10 day creative testing sprint runs next with pass or fail criteria written before any spend. Book at topmate.io/arbhavesh or through the work with me page.
