Co-founder · Brand research & strategy
Ajithkumar Puthukkudi
After leaving a five-year PhD research programme at Hyderabad Central University, Ajithkumar chose teaching as a career. Later, his journey moved into the world of branding and advertising.
Brand research and strategy have remained central throughout, reaching nearly 100 brands over seven years. Thinking about brands, the markets they exist in and the audiences they serve has always been an engaging process.
A content creator who writes consistently on social media, Fasil found it hard to place himself in a managerial role within a wholesale brand. He found his place instead in a branding agency, where he discovered a more creative and expressive side of himself. His ability to understand brands and connect with brand owners made the journey fruitful for both.
Five years in branding at CAM and Close made him a natural fit as Brand Manager at an international brand, Bella Bathwares, where he instilled a strong sense of “brand” among employees across the GCC and presented the brand beautifully to its audience. The entrepreneurial call became his return ticket, and in 2025 he co-founded SOAL.
Hisan began his career in graphic design, creating visual content for brands and their social media platforms. Working closely with content and campaigns led him into digital marketing, where his focus expanded to how brands reach and engage their audiences.
Over five years his work has grown to include content strategy, social media management, paid advertising and website development, connecting an understanding of design with the practical work of planning, running and improving digital campaigns. When SOAL decided to fly to Oman, it found its wings in Hisan: his knowledge of the land and its audience makes him the person who connects every brand with its right audience.
