When I launch terminal I see the following error:
"/Users/gursimran/.zprofile:1: bad pattern: ^[[A^[[B". I recently had to factory reset my MacBook Pro (2020 M1) due to an issue when it updated to Ventura 13.6 and am now seeing this issue in terminal. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to resolve it? I recently installed homebrew so maybe that is the cause?

You can get by with just ~/.zshrc, and I suspect that homebrew put some nasty crud in your ~/.zprofile. Rename the ~/.zprofile to ~/.zprofile_bak and quit, then relaunch Terminal.
cd
mv ~/.zprofile ~/.zprofile_bak
If you don't have a ~/.zshrc file, then copy/paste the following into the Terminal and press return:
<<"EOF" > ~/.zshrc
export PATH=".:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"
PS1="%m: %~ %% "
EOF
That will write a ~/.zshrc file with the PATH and prompt PS1 set. You can either quit and relaunch Terminal, or do this followed by a return without quitting the Terminal session:
source ~/.zshrc

Actually this issue is resolved, it looks like there were extra characters in .zprofile which was causing the error when it was sourced upon launching terminal. I deleted them and everything is working fine now.
zsh
edit your .zprofile & remove the offending line ( #1) - Most likely those line belong in .zsrhc
