Raised in modest circumstances, Mondal embraced a philosophy of independence and self-reliance from a young age. He began his entrepreneurial journey as a teenager, launching a digital agency from his bedroom to fund his ambition of studying abroad.

Career
PRessence 360
Mondal is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of PRessence 360, a public relations and authority-building agency. Established to redefine modern PR as a driver of measurable business outcomes rather than vanity exposure, the company delivers high-visibility campaigns across global media platforms. PRessence 360 specializes in securing features in top business magazines such as Forbes, facilitating national business television interviews on outlets like Bloomberg TV and Fox Business, and executing large-scale campaigns including Times Square billboards and front-cover magazines.
The agency also provides done-for-you brand systems including executive bios, media kits, positioning frameworks, and press funnels that convert visibility into revenue pipelines. Select guaranteed-delivery packages further extend PRessence 360’s offerings to clients seeking predictable and scalable outcomes.
A central innovation introduced by Mondal is the creation of 100+ PRessence 360 branded partner agencies. This initiative allows agency partners worldwide to leverage PRessence 360’s editorial infrastructure, fulfillment systems, and established reputation. By positioning as certified sister agencies, partners are able to bypass the trust-deficit stage common in early agency growth and close high-value clients more efficiently.
Acquisitions 360
Mondal also founded Acquisitions 360, a growth consultancy that scaled to multiple seven-figure revenues. The systems and methodologies refined within Acquisitions 360 directly seeded the operational playbooks of PRessence 360, giving the newer agency a strong foundation for rapid growth.
Operating Models
Among Mondal’s notable contributions are the frameworks PRMA (Public Relations Marketing Agency) and PRDA (Press-Release Distribution Agency). These models reframe public relations as directly tied to measurable outcomes such as lead generation, client trust, and sales conversion. PRMA links PR visibility to commercial results, while PRDA focuses on high-volume, scalable press distribution with guaranteed placements.
Recognition and Milestones
In 2025, at the age of 19, Mondal was featured in Forbes under the headline “Meet the Influential Personalities Behind a Bold New Chapter.” Achieving a Forbes profile at such a young age positioned him as a rising voice in the PR and authority economy. At 17, Mondal reportedly received an investment offer that would have valued his company at approximately USD 1 million. By his late teens, he had built one multiple seven-figure agency and one multiple six-figure agency from scratch, with his PRMA and PRDA models adopted by partners internationally.
Speaking, Media and Causes
Mondal frequently facilitates premium media placements for clients and has been featured himself in international magazines and interviews. He conducts private intensives for clients and partner agencies, with selective public speaking engagements planned in alignment with the expansion of the partner-agency network. He has also announced the development of a Partner Agency Scholarship Track aimed at supporting first-generation and under-capitalized founders. Through informal mentorship and performance-based assistance, Mondal extends opportunities to entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.
Vision
Mondal’s long-term vision is to standardize authority at scale by certifying and launching 100+ PRessence 360 branded partner agencies across major global markets. His roadmap emphasizes:
- Certification & Playbooks — codifying PRMA and PRDA delivery standards.
- AI-Assisted Press Operations — developing tools for newsroom mapping, sentiment analysis, and placement forecasting.
- Quality Charter — a shared code for editorial integrity and client ROI.
- Monetization Flywheel — building loops that transform visibility into partnerships, pricing power, and sustainable pipelines.
- Market Footprint — targeted expansion across the U.S., UK, EU, and MENA.
Mondal has articulated his “north star” as building a machine that redistributes credibility—helping driven entrepreneurs secure visibility, trust, and financial rewards in proportion to their work.
Personal Life
Outside of business, Mondal trains in mixed martial arts, pursues automotive design and performance, and travels frequently. He is an avid reader of biographies and studies systems thinking, integrating lessons into his discipline-first approach to brand building and strategic decision-making.
Challenges
Mondal has faced significant challenges early in his career. Dropping out of university coincided with a downturn in revenues and personal turbulence. In response, he drafted a three-year operating plan, rebuilt acquisition strategies through targeted outbound campaigns and partnerships, and implemented strict daily execution sprints. He has also cited earlier setbacks, such as losing significant funds in cryptocurrency trading, as pivotal lessons that reinforced his commitment to skills, systems, and resilience.
Collaborations
Through PRessence 360, Mondal collaborates with high-growth founders and agency operators across the U.S., UK, EU, and MENA regions. He also works with vetted editorial networks and distribution partners to deliver standardized outcomes in magazines, television, billboards, and print media. Select operators join his network as branded partner agencies, utilizing shared infrastructure to accelerate their client acquisition and credibility building.
