As a pragmatic idealist, Manas not only dreams in large scale high definition, he actually delivers his visions in the form of easy to use, high value technology platforms to help his customers succeed in business.

Entrepeneuralism is an innate quality in Manas, he is well tapped into the global online marketing industry and is a strong leader well beyond his years. People both within his team and his customer-base trust his nose for successful innovation and will follow him down otherwise unconventional paths just to see where it goes!

Manas grew up in India which is where he completed the majority of his education. At the age of 14 he went to South Africa to play professional cricket for four years before returning to India to complete a BA majoring in Economics and Maths. He moved to New Zealand in 2001 and founded Optimizer 2 years later at age 23

I consider Manas Kumar to be one of the foremost experts on email marketing best practices. Most people see email marketing as a quick, easy, inexpensive solution to achieve marketing goals. It's anything but. To run a truly successful email campaign it takes a seriously in-depth understanding of the medium, a spot on strategy, jaw dropping creative and the best tools on the market. I'm honestly not sure how he does it – but Manas seems to be able to build and implement those types of back end solutions flawlessly overnight. His entire portfolio of products is what it takes to support successful email campaigns effectively and efficiently. And if that's not enough, he's an all around great guy. I highly recommend Manas Kumar and his entire body of back end solutions.

Big thinkers with execution ability are rare these days. Manas is one of those catalyst's that can take an idea, flush it out AND build it out before you can say cheese. He's brought more innovation to the table in the email marketing industry than the giants here in the States. Most importantly, his roots of business respect and integrity are so deep, he can withstand the hot air storms and challenges from high stress clients (like me) and surface with an all-things-are-great attitude, all-the-time.

Manas impressed me with his knowledge and how he turned that into a practical result for my organisation.
