My journey started in 2001 as a freelance designer, where I learned the fundamentals of finding clients, understanding their needs, delivering results, and building a sustainable freelance career. In 2004, I started my own SEO agency, working with businesses to improve their online visibility and generate growth through digital channels. In 2007, I launched a local classifieds and digital platform. I eventually sold the startup to JustDial in 2012. I also built and sold a domain for $50,000. After building my own businesses, I moved into senior leadership roles, including VP – Brand Management in Canada and VP – Digital Marketing at Bansal Group, Bhopal, where I worked on brand, marketing, digital growth and business development.
