Marisha Lakhiani

Growth Executive and Marketing Leader

Affiliate World AppearancesAW Asia 2023; AW Dubai 2024; AW Dubai 2025

Biography

Lakhiani’s public work at Mindvalley shows what growth leadership looks like when a company already has a strong mission, large creative output and global audience. Her challenge was not simply to buy more traffic. It was to simplify the customer journey, protect the economics after major privacy changes and turn constant testing into an organization-wide habit. That is an executive story as much as a media-buying story.

Lakhiani is a marketing leader with a strong record of driving growth and transforming businesses. Her public role at Mindvalley places her at the intersection of brand, performance, content, community, and international digital products.

Lakhiani represents a sophisticated form of growth leadership in which brand and performance are not opposing camps. A global education platform must acquire customers efficiently while also maintaining a compelling mission, a recognizable voice, and a community strong enough to support long-term engagement.

Lakhiani’s interest in commerce appeared early, including selling dresses online while at university. At Mindvalley she grew through the marketing organization into senior growth leadership, combining direct response, launches, subscriptions, brand storytelling and increasingly sophisticated uses of automation and artificial intelligence.

What sets her apart

At Affiliate World

At Affiliate World Asia 2023, she explained how the team responded after iOS 14 damaged existing campaigns. Mindvalley moved toward a simpler long-form video-sales-letter funnel and tested pricing, page layout, mobile design, hooks and video speed. One speed test, playing lead-generation videos at 1.3 times normal speed, produced a reported 15% lift in click-through rate and 25% improvement in return on ad spend. At Dubai 2024 she returned with AI and automation tactics used to multiply campaign performance. The talks mattered because they showed recovery through structured experimentation rather than nostalgia for the pre-privacy advertising environment.

Why the ideas mattered

Her perspective broadens the Affiliate World conversation beyond campaign optimization. High-growth businesses require alignment between positioning, product, content, retention, and acquisition. That systems view is especially relevant as affiliates build larger, more defensible companies.

Career and influence

Her repeated invitations through 2025 reflect growing authority as a growth executive able to connect creative, analytics, funnel architecture and organizational change. The career story is not a single winning test, but the ability to build a team that keeps finding them.
