Our Story

Built to close the gap between classrooms and careers.

Upmark started in 2018 as a simple frustration turned into a plan: digital marketing courses in Ahmedabad were teaching theory that agencies had already moved past. Our founder, Rikesh Panchal, had spent years running live campaigns and kept meeting graduates who held certificates but couldn't run a real Google Ads account.

So we built Upmark differently — as a training institute and a working digital marketing agency under one roof. Every module is shaped by what our own client campaigns demand that week, not a syllabus frozen in time. We track the gap between what the industry needs and what our students know, and we close it — one cohort at a time.

Today, "Upmark" stands for exactly what the name promises: helping individuals and businesses move up-market — upgrading their skills, their income, and their confidence. We don't measure success in certificates handed out. We measure it in offer letters signed.

What Drives Us

Mission, vision, and the values we don't compromise on.

Our Mission

To take individuals and businesses to the peak of their performance by upscaling their potential — building skills and value that outlast a single campaign, course, or certificate.

Our Vision

To be Ahmedabad's most admired, results-driven name in human capability and business growth — earned through outcomes, not advertising.

Our Values

Practical over theoretical. Outcomes over certificates. Mentorship over lectures. Every transaction — with a student, client, or hiring partner — runs on transparency, not hype.

Meet The Founder

The trainer behind 10,000+ career launches.

"I built Upmark with one rule: if a skill isn't being used by agencies today, we don't teach it. Everything else follows from that."

Rikesh Panchal founded Upmark in 2018 after 6+ years running real campaigns for consumer, fintech and D2C brands. He has personally managed ₹50 Cr+ in ad spend — and still runs active client campaigns today, alongside teaching. His approach to every module is shaped by one question: "Will this get our students hired?"

The curriculum is genuinely updated. We learned about AI Overviews and GEO before most agencies did. Strong recommend.
