15 years. 800+ businesses. One consistent truth: most marketing fails after the click.
I've been in digital marketing since 2009 — before the buzzwords, before the "gurus," before everyone had a funnel framework.
What followed was 15+ years of working in the trenches with 800+ businesses across EdTech, FoodTech, eCommerce, Manufacturing, Event Ticketing, Sustainable Energy, and services.
The numbers, if you need them:
₹12.8 Cr+ in paid ad spend managed (META + Google)
40,000+ paid leads | 80,000+ organic leads generated
40,000+ keywords ranked through content + backlink systems
ROAS 8.2 (last 3 months) | Overall ROAS 5.8
But numbers only tell part of the story.
