First full month on the new site.
Sessions more than doubled.

August was the first complete month on the new embarkgrp.com. Sessions went from 2,131 to 4,465 and active users from 1,567 to 3,041. This export covers Aug 1 to Sep 5, a 36-day window, so the headline totals are not directly comparable to July's 31 days. On a per-day basis the site went from 69 sessions a day to 124, an 80% increase. The Drop newsletter became the second-biggest entry point after the homepage.

Aug 19 was the biggest day at 253 active users, the highest single day the site has recorded. The weekly rhythm is now clearly visible: traffic collapses to 20 to 40 users every Saturday and Sunday and rebuilds through the week. Weekday floors sit around 90 to 120 users, roughly double the pre-launch baseline.

/drop/august2026 took 236 sessions and /drop/september2026 took 138. Both beat every solutions page and every blog post. Average engagement of 71 and 95 seconds means readers are working through the issue rather than glancing and leaving. September's issue is already outperforming August's on time-on-page in five days.

Organic Social also almost doubled to 257, with LinkedIn contributing 213 and Instagram 22. Referral traffic still holds the longest sessions at 88 seconds. Returning users climbed to 451 across all channels, up from 283 in July.

Chennai tripled from 123 users to 367 and is now the clear number two city. The July office launch is still compounding two months later. Singapore at 189 and New York at 31 are the strongest genuine international city signals.

76% of visitors are on desktop. That is unusually high and consistent with a B2B audience browsing during work hours. Mobile at 714 users still matters enough that the responsive experience needs to hold up, particularly for LinkedIn traffic which skews mobile.

Operating systems: Windows 1,774 · macOS 419 · iOS 383 · Android 338 · Linux 110. Edge users averaged 143 seconds, almost three times Chrome. Edge is the corporate default in most large enterprises, so this group is likely the closest thing in the data to genuine buyer interest.

The Drop is now a traffic channel, not just an email

374 sessions across the August and September issues, more than every solutions page and blog post combined. Average engagement of 71 and 95 seconds means people are reading rather than skimming. The September issue is already ahead of August's on time-on-page after only five days live.

Organic search nearly doubled and the US grew faster than India

Organic Search went from 654 sessions to 1,279 and US active users from 241 to 615. The US now accounts for 20% of the audience and engages at 95.8% against India's 89.2%. Chennai tripled to 367 users, still riding the July office launch.

Downloads and form submissions need checking

File downloads fell from 45 in July to 5, and there were 10 form starts with no recorded submissions. The ISG Provider Lens PDF was July's most-used asset, so either it moved during the site build or the tracking events stopped firing. Worth confirming before next month's report.

Daily engagement across August

8 posts in August, the lowest volume since April. Impressions dropped 49% but new followers hit an all-time high of 1,031, up 44% on July. Two things carried the month: the Everest Group PEAK Matrix recognition on Aug 26 and the Off The Record edition with Dipanwita Ghosh on Aug 31.

Aug 13VOICES by Embassy · Episode 233919808.0%

The two VOICES episodes were the weakest posts of the month at 460 and 339 impressions. Both are link-out posts to an external video, which LinkedIn consistently suppresses. The Everest Group announcement, posted natively with named team tags, got nearly ten times the reach.

Third-party recognition is the strongest asset Embark has

The Everest Group PEAK Matrix post produced 4,316 impressions, 102 reactions, 333 clicks and 5 reposts, the highest reaction count in the account's history. The wire coverage follow-up on Aug 28 added another 1,409. Independent analyst recognition outperforms everything Embark says about itself.

Off The Record keeps producing the highest click rates

The Dipanwita Ghosh edition on Aug 31 hit 34.6% engagement with 778 clicks from only 2,378 impressions. That matches the pattern from July's Nimmi Sebastian and Rajesh S.P. editions. The carousel format is doing something no other format on the page does.

Fewer posts, more followers

8 posts produced 1,031 new followers against July's 716 from 13 posts. Followers per post went from 55 to 129. The account grew 10% in a single month. Volume is not what drives follows on this page. Specific, credible, named content is.

Daily engagement across July

13 posts in July, the highest volume in any month. Impressions jumped 72.5% vs June. Follower count crossed 10,000. Three content formats drove the month: media features, Off The Record carousels, and the new website launch.

Chennai launch was the month's standout moment

The Jul 17 post announcing the Chennai office generated 6,997 impressions, 141 reactions, and 395 clicks. It is the highest-impression post published in any month so far. Expansion announcements with named team members and a specific city context consistently outperform commentary posts.

Off The Record format is Embark's highest-engagement content type

The Nimmi Sebastian Off The Record post (Jul 16) hit 55.1% engagement rate with 993 clicks. The Rajesh S.P. post (Jul 24) hit 51% with 1,609 clicks. Both are carousel formats. Swipeable leader content with a product tie-in is the single most effective format for driving clicks on LinkedIn.

Follower count crossed 10,000

Total followers reached 10,317 by end of July, up from 9,563 in June. Jul 20 alone added 150 followers off the Aravind Maiya ET Edge piece. The account is growing faster in H2 2026 than at any point in its first year.

Daily engagement across June

Ten posts published in June. Impressions were lower than May but engagement rates surged from June 18 onwards, driven by the Alok Jain TaxFaaS spotlight, the International Yoga Day video, and the Manyata workspace post.

Alok Jain spotlight was the month's anchor post

The TaxFaaS leader feature (Jun 18) drove 4,720 impressions and 1,903 clicks at a 42.7% engagement rate. The post led with Alok, tied his perspective to TaxFaaS, and linked to an external article. That combination is what drove the clicks.

Click rates in the final two weeks were extraordinary

From June 18 to June 30, daily engagement rates ranged from 21% to 109%. This reflects a content shift towards link-heavy posts (ET feature, CSR Universe article, workspace post) where the audience clicked through rather than just reacting in-feed.

Impressions dropped vs May but quality held

Total impressions fell from 37,851 (May) to 23,890 (June). With 10 posts vs 8 in May, average impressions per post dropped from 4,731 to 2,389. Fewer viral-carry posts and a heavier mix of AI series content drove this. Click volume in June was actually higher than May.

Daily engagement across May

Impressions, engagement rate, reactions, and follower growth tracked daily across 31 days. Eight posts published this month drove consistent activity and three major spikes.

Highest single-day follower spike ever recorded

May 8 delivered 155 new followers in a single day driven by the GCC reverse-control-tower post from May 7 which generated 6,735 impressions and 239 reactions. Viral carry-over effect is clearly visible in the data.

ISG recognition post broke CTR records

The ISG Provider Lens recognition post (May 12) hit a 27.1% engagement rate highest of the month with 658 clicks on a post that got 2,571 impressions. Credibility content drives click-through, not just reactions.

Sustained above-benchmark engagement all month

Every single day in May stayed above the 2% LinkedIn benchmark. The monthly average of 9.6% across 31 days confirms systematic content quality, not just spike-driven performance.

Daily engagement across April

Impressions, engagement rate, reactions, and clicks tracked daily. Three clear spikes correspond to post publish days.

Three posts dominated the month

The anniversary video (Apr 10), Standard India post (Apr 23), and the single-day spike on Apr 16 together drove most of the month's impressions. Timing and content type both mattered.

Peak day hit 47.2% engagement

April 16 reached a 47.2% single-day engagement rate nearly 24× the industry benchmark. When the content lands, the audience acts on it.

All 5 posts beat the 2% benchmark

Every post published in April achieved above-benchmark engagement. The lowest-performing post still hit 4.9% more than double the LinkedIn average for B2B content.

Competitive Context

Embark vs. peers · August

Embark grew 10% in one month, the highest growth rate in the peer set by a wide margin. 1,031 new followers from 8 posts. EPP of 73 is down from July's 89, reflecting a month with fewer, more reach-driven posts rather than click-heavy carousels.

Embark added 1,031 followers on a base of 10,295, a 10% gain. fosttr managed 8.1% on a base under 2,000, where percentage growth is far easier. Gloplax and ANSR grew 3.7% and 3.5%. On a base above 10,000 followers, this rate is the outlier in the set.

Embark now outranks Gloplax on followers gained

Gloplax has 12,983 followers to Embark's 11,326 and posted 11 times to Embark's 8, but added 458 followers to Embark's 1,031. At the current rate Embark passes Gloplax on total followers within two months.

Zinnov posts 101 times a month. Embark posts 8.

Zinnov generated 11,776 engagements from 101 posts, an EPP of 117. Embark's 73 from 8 posts is lower per post but the follower conversion is far better: Zinnov added 1,621 followers from 101 posts, Embark 1,031 from 8. That is 16 followers per post against 129.

Embark vs. peers July

Embark crossed 10,000 followers in July and added 716 new followers. Total engagements reached 1,153, up 93% from June. EPP of 89 puts Embark third in the peer set behind ANSR and MOAR Advisory.

716 new followers, most of any comparable-size account

Gloplax (12,581 followers) added 1,134 with 15 posts. Embark added 716 from 13 posts at a smaller base, meaning the growth rate is significantly higher. The Chennai launch and ET Edge piece drove 238 new followers in two days on Jul 19-20.

July was Embark's strongest LinkedIn month

1,153 total engagements vs 598 in June, a 93% increase. 41,188 impressions vs 23,890 in June, a 72% increase. 13 posts vs 10 in June. Every metric improved. The new website launch, Chennai office, and Off The Record format all contributed.

MOAR Advisory overtook Embark on EPP

MOAR's EPP of 95 narrowly beats Embark's 89 with fewer posts (12 vs 13). Both are well ahead of Gloplax (24), Bhartiya Converge (15), and fosttr (73) in the comparable-size tier. Embark's audience is still the most engaged relative to its follower count.

Embark vs. peers on LinkedIn June

June competitor data across 7 companies. Embark's engagement per post (60) dropped vs May (124) as post volume increased to 10. MOAR Advisory overtook Embark on EPP this month with 14 posts to Embark's 10.

Bhartiya Converge1,6364257615

EPP dipped as volume grew

Embark published 10 posts in June vs 8 in May, and EPP dropped from 124 to 60. The additional posts (AI series Parts 2 and 3, the secondment ruling commentary) had lower individual engagement than May's spike-heavy content. Volume-quality balance will be the key lever for July.

Gloplax follower surge is worth watching

Gloplax Solutions added 1,938 new followers in June from just 9 posts. At a similar follower base to Embark, this suggests a content strategy or paid amplification shift. Worth keeping an eye on in July.

Embark still outperforms on follower-to-engagement ratio

With 9,563 followers, Embark generated 598 engagements across 10 posts. Gloplax, with 11,481 followers and 9 posts, generated only 142. Embark's audience is significantly more active relative to its size, which is the more durable competitive advantage.

Embark vs. peers on LinkedIn May

May competitor data across 7 companies in the India GCC advisory space. Embark gained 1,058 new followers more than any comparable-size competitor and posted the highest engagement volume relative to posting frequency among mid-size players.

Bhartiya Converge1,5934835920

3rd highest engagement per post in the peer set

Embark's 124 engagements per post ranks behind only ANSR (184) and Zinnov (117 with 38 posts), while publishing just 8 posts. Embark outperforms every comparable-size peer on content efficiency.

Follower growth outpaced all comparable-size accounts

Gloplax Solutions has nearly the same follower count (9,783) but only added 2,505 new followers with 5 posts. Embark gained 1,058 followers from 8 posts the largest absolute jump Embark has ever achieved in a single month.

Scale gap with ANSR and Zinnov is the long-term priority

At 1,058 new followers per month, Embark is accelerating toward meaningful scale. Sustained performance at this level would reach 20,000+ followers within 12 months. Consistency in volume and quality is the next challenge.

Embark vs. peers on LinkedIn April

April competitor data across 7 companies in the India GCC advisory space. Embark ranks 2nd on engagement rate per post and gained significantly more followers per post than the peer median.

Highest engagement per post among comparable peers

Embark produced 98 engagements per post beating Gloplax (62), Zinnov (65), and MOAR (70) with a fraction of their posting volume. Quality significantly outperforms frequency.

Follower growth outpaced comparable-size accounts

Gloplax Solutions has a similar follower count (8,066) but gained only 127 new followers with 4 posts. Embark gained 384 with just 5 posts 3× the follower growth efficiency of the closest comparable.

Scale gap with ANSR is a long-term opportunity

ANSR's 387,000 followers set the category benchmark. However, at Embark's current growth rate of ~380 followers per month, consistent compounding will build meaningful reach. Consistency over the next 12 months is the priority.

The account broke out of its follower base

Non-followers accounted for 70.6% of views against 66.3% in July and 13.7% in June. Viewers reached 3,350 on a follower base of 156. Reels are doing the work: 74.8% of views and 53.8% of interactions. This is now a reach channel, not a community channel.

Recruitment content is the top performer

The Product Support Specialist hiring Reel took 2,200 views and 75 interactions, the best post of the period. Combined with 24 sessions on the /employeehandbook page on the website, the employer-brand angle is pulling more weight on Instagram than the corporate GCC narrative.

Only 12 external link taps from 669 profile visits

People are finding the account and looking at the profile, but almost nobody clicks through. 1.8% tap-through means the bio link and its call to action are not working. Worth testing a specific destination such as the GCC Cost Calculator instead of a generic homepage link.

Glossary

Terms used in this report

Definitions for every metric referenced in this document, with formulas where relevant.

Impressions
The total number of times a post was displayed in a LinkedIn member's feed regardless of whether they interacted with it. One person seeing the same post twice counts as two impressions.
Unique Impressions
The number of individual LinkedIn members who saw a post at least once. Unlike total impressions, each person is only counted once regardless of how many times they saw the content.
Engagement Rate
The percentage of people who saw a post and took an action on it. The industry benchmark on LinkedIn is approximately 2%.
(Clicks + Reactions + Comments + Reposts) ÷ Impressions × 100
Clicks
Any deliberate click on the post clicking a link, expanding the post text, clicking the company name, or clicking an image. Does not include reaction or comment button clicks.
Reactions
Explicit emotional responses to a post: Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, or Curious. Each reaction counts as one regardless of type.
Reposts
When a LinkedIn member shares the original post to their own network either as a direct repost or with added commentary. Reposts extend reach beyond the original audience at zero additional cost.
Click-Through Rate (CTR)
The proportion of people who saw a post and clicked a link within it. Different from engagement rate, which includes all interactions.
Link Clicks ÷ Impressions × 100
Follower Growth Rate

New Followers ÷ Starting Followers × 100
Organic vs. Sponsored
Organic = unpaid content distributed to followers and their networks naturally. Sponsored = paid promotion to targeted audiences beyond existing followers. All Embark activity from April to August has been 100% organic.
Page Views
Total visits to the Embark LinkedIn Company Page across Overview, Life, and Jobs tabs. Multiple visits by the same person each count separately.
Unique Visitors
The number of distinct LinkedIn members who visited the page, regardless of how many times they visited. A more accurate measure of actual audience reach than total page views.
Engagement per Post
Total engagements (reactions + comments + reposts) for all posts divided by the number of posts published. Used in competitive analysis to measure content efficiency independently of posting frequency.
Total Engagements ÷ Total Posts
