In today’s fast-moving startup ecosystem, anyone can register a company. But very few know how to transform it into a brand that connects, inspires, and sells. That’s exactly the gap three young founders—Kazi Abu Ansari, Sk Sahonwaj, and Anish Ghosh—are filling with Creatiq Media and Creatiq Visuals, two dynamic sub-brands operating under the parent company Expantra Tech Private Limited.
What makes their story remarkable isn’t just their ambition or services — it’s how they’ve built a fully operational creative company before crossing the age of 22, all while navigating college, past failures, and zero investor backing.
👨💼 Meet the Founders
Kazi Abu Ansari (CEO, 19) — A tech-savvy entrepreneur with business in his blood. From selling crackers at age 6 to managing a 12-member editing agency (“Mr. Editor”) before this, Kazi is the strategic brain behind Creatiq.
Sk Sahonwaj (CFO, 19) — A finance-focused student from Vivekananda College with no formal tech background, but a solid head for numbers, risk, and growth.
Anish Ghosh (CHRO, 21) — A former field sales executive who now handles the most crucial part of any startup — team structure, training, and culture.
Together, they represent three traits every startup needs: Vision, Execution, and People Management.
“Anyone can build a company today, but turning it into a brand? That’s where most fail — not by fault, but by poor branding. At Creatiq Media & Visuals, we bridge that gap and turn founders into unforgettable brands.” – Kazi Abu Ansari, CEO
🚀 The Startup Origin: From Failure to Focus
Before Creatiq existed, the team operated an editing brand called Mr. Editor, which managed editing projects for top Kolkata-based clients with a 12-member team. While operationally strong, the lack of structure, brand clarity, and internal alignment led to its quiet shutdown.
But instead of quitting, they studied their failures.
They realized that most founders struggle to grow not because of poor ideas, but because they don’t understand branding and content execution. And worse, the market offered fragmented solutions — separate agencies for content, editing, strategy, PR — making it harder and costlier to grow.
That’s when Creatiq Media (focused on marketing, strategy, and content) and Creatiq Visuals (dedicated to editing, visual design, and storytelling) were born — as a united solution to the fragmented agency model.
On 28th May 2025, Expantra Tech Pvt. Ltd. was officially registered — giving them legal structure, team identity, and a real vision to scale.
🧠 Power of College Incubation
The journey took a leap when Brainware University, where two founders study, granted them incubation support — including workspace, mentorship, and tech resources.
“It changed everything. We were no longer freelancers building something from our hostel rooms — we were founders running a business from a real space,” says Anish.
Their college didn’t just offer support — it gave them confidence, credibility, and connections.
💼 The Creatiq Ecosystem
Today, Creatiq operates as a hybrid creative agency with two distinct verticals:
Creatiq Media: Social media marketing, ad creatives, digital PR, content strategy, branding consultations.
Creatiq Visuals: Video editing, podcast production, motion graphics, visual storytelling, corporate film editing.
With a lean but growing team, they’ve already executed dozens of projects and serve startups, local businesses, creators, and brands across various industries.
Their USP lies in speed + style + strategic clarity — delivering fast, visually powerful results with a clear marketing foundation.
📈 Success & Vision
Since launching, Creatiq has:
Built a dedicated in-house team structure
Onboarded local and pan-India clients
Launched retainer plans and bundled services
Prepared to launch their next sub-brand: Creatiq Clothes (for corporate and custom t-shirt branding)
Their revenue goal is clear: ₹20 lakh/month in recurring services across content, media, and visuals.
“A company is easy to start. A brand is built. We help you do both — the Creatiq way,” adds Sk Sahonwaj, CFO.
🎯 What Sets Creatiq Apart
Founder-Led Execution – Every project goes through at least one founder, ensuring quality.
Creative Speed – Same-day edits, 3-day turnarounds, live feedback sessions.
Culture-First Teaming – Everyone on the team learns design, branding, and client interaction.
Smart Scaling – Instead of high-ticket clients only, they focus on building 50–100 happy clients/month at consistent value.
🌍 Final Word: More Than Just Creators
Creatiq is not just a startup. It’s a vision for what India’s next-gen businesses can look like — founder-driven, youth-powered, lean, and focused on execution over ego.
From selling crackers to running campaigns.
From college desks to client meetings.
From failure to foundation.
Creatiq isn’t just creating content — it’s creating a blueprint for building modern brands from scratch.
