What Akash needed was a clear structure to lead the business, a way to unify a large team, and guidance from people who understood the complexities of scaling a fast-growing agency.
The Entourage provided exactly that.
Through the Elevate Program, EB Pearls aligned the company across six core business units - marketing, sales, product delivery, operations, people and finance - under one simple operating framework. With every function working to the same system, they were able to introduce leadership rhythms that brought discipline, transparency and momentum.
For Akash personally, the biggest shift came from adopting a new philosophy: progress over perfection. Instead of spending months perfecting systems, he learned to iterate, move quickly, and empower others.
We had taken the best bits from everywhere… but it all became fragmented. It felt heavy, and I was struggling to put it into practice.
Despite their reputation and large team, EB Pearls was grappling with challenges familiar to many established business owners: long hours, unclear direction, and systems pieced together from countless books, frameworks and resources that didn’t integrate cleanly.
Akash and the leadership team were engineers by training. They excelled at detail, precision and perfection - but those same habits slowed down progress and left Akash deeply involved in the day-to-day.
Progress is better than perfection. That mindset shift completely changed the way I operate.
He also found, for the first time, a community of entrepreneurs he could speak openly with - something he couldn’t do inside his own organisation.
With The Entourage community, I could talk about things I couldn’t say to my team. That helped me immensely.
With a stronger foundation, EB Pearls began operating with far greater speed, alignment and effectiveness. The business has now experienced million-dollar weeks - a milestone that once felt out of reach - and has seen a significant uplift in culture, performance and client satisfaction across its global team.
During their time with The Entourage, EB Pearls was voted #1 Mobile App Developer in the World by Clutch - a testament to the clarity and cohesion now underpinning the business.
There is a huge difference between EB Pearls before joining The Entourage and EB Pearls after.
Akash is now focused on optimisation: deepening the systems that drive scale, refining their data, and creating the next generation of growth for EB Pearls. With leadership aligned and structure in place, the business is set up for a future defined not just by technical excellence - but by strong, strategic, sustainable growth.
