Why This Founder Quit Corporate & Built a 7-Figure Business

From personal branding to professional empowerment, Ranukka Singham, Founder and Managing Director, Image Revamp, has built a niche in helping individuals and organisations refine their presence and elevate their influence. Starting as a side hustle in 2017, ImageRevamp has grown into a professional branding consultancy and training provider, with frameworks and customized programs that cater to individual and corporate clients.

Breaking new ground in 2023, ImageRevamp surpassed seven figures in revenue, achieving 80% year-on-year growth. Leveraging a unique branding framework that spans seven pillars—from appearance to growth—the business is scaling with a team of 30 trainers and expanding its footprint into regional markets like Singapore, Brunei, and beyond.

In this episode of Open for Business, we explore ImageRevamp’s journey from side hustle to 7 figure business, its approach to scaling, and how it’s carving out a unique space in the competitive world of professional training.
