Sprout Ecosystem is the parent group behind a growth agency, a creative studio, a news service, a skills platform, an AI tools company and a travel platform. Each company serves its own customers. All of them answer to the same founder and the same rules.
Founded by Smita D. Talukdar
Six businesses across growth, creative production, media, learning, technology and travel. Each runs on its own site, with its own team and its own customers.
Growth
A growth agency for Indian D2C brands making ₹5L to ₹50L a month. Work starts with a free teardown of the funnel, then a 30-day sprint on the single worst revenue leak.
Month-to-month, no lock-in. The founder reviews every strategy and report.
sproutgrowthagency.comCreative production
A studio for video, motion design, graphic design, content and ad creative. It began as the in-house studio for the agency and now takes outside brands.
All production in-house, with fixed delivery dates agreed at kick-off.
sproutcreate.comMedia
News on India, technology and AI, business and markets, arts and culture, and the world, delivered as one morning briefing and checked under its VeriFact method.
Briefing sent at 7 AM IST. Free to subscribe.
sproutallnews.comLearning
An online platform for creative, marketing and AI skills. Learners get live classes, mentors, graded certificates and career guidance across seven course tracks, from writing and design to video and AI prompting.
Plans from ₹2,499 a month, with a free 7-day trial.
sproutedtech.comTechnology
AI agents that each do one job: write, code, research, present, design, narrate and edit video. Text work passes through a planner, an executor and a validator before it reaches you.
Free plan with 3 agents and 30 runs a month.
sproutfocusai.comTravel
A travel platform for all eight Northeast Indian states. Travellers book verified local hosts, from artisans and farms to sacred trails and festivals, with prices itemised before they pay.
A ₹200 Heritage Contribution per itinerary funds apprenticeships in host communities.
sprouttrips.comThe businesses differ. These four rules apply to all of them, and each is already visible in how the companies operate.
Companies stay small enough that the people accountable are the people doing the thinking.
At Sprout Growth Agency, Smita reviews every strategy, brief and report herself.
A smaller catalogue of checked things is worth more than a large one nobody can trust.
Sprout Trips checks every host's ID, proof of practice and one reference. Sprout All News checks stories under VeriFact.
Customers see what they pay and what they are committing to before they start.
Month-to-month plans at the agency, itemised prices at Trips, published rupee pricing at Ed Tech, Create and Focus AI.
The group is built from Shillong, and it serves clients and readers across India and abroad.
Sprout Trips covers all eight Northeast states. The agency takes US clients on request.
