The short version
It started with a Rs 25,000 laptop.
2013. Jalgaon, a small city in Maharashtra. My father borrowed Rs 25,000 so I could have a laptop. That laptop was the whole company.
I taught myself marketing by doing it. Real clients, real budgets, real mistakes. No degree in this. No connections. Just a stubborn habit of measuring everything and admitting when the numbers said I was wrong.
Twelve years later the work spans 500+ businesses, 1,000+ websites, and over $10M in client revenue I have contributed to. I wrote two books along the way. The tools changed every year. The lesson never did.
