From a young age, I have always been driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to earn money.
My competitive spirit was forged through sports like boxing and badminton. The gym, with its weight lifting and callisthenics, instilled in me the strength and will to keep going no matter what.
In the kitchen, beyond the grind, my passion for cooking fuels creativity, bringing a fun-loving attitude to my otherwise intense life.
My professional journey led me to specialize in programming languages like Python and C++, with a dabble in others. Perhaps coding is more than just a skill for me; it's a passion that answers my questions and helps me solve complex problems efficiently. Whether automating tasks in my personal or business life, coding is my go-to tool.
I immerse myself in personal branding and business-related books and podcasts, always eager to learn more. My love for debating and public speaking began in the 6th grade, a decision that has continuously benefited me throughout my life.
The journey to financial independence started in the 8th grade when I began brainstorming ways to become wealthy, leading to my first venture in March 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Business became more than a duty or passion; it became my purpose. Although my first three ventures were blunders, the last two have been incredibly successful.
Around the same time in 2020, I launched a gaming channel called GamingGestures, where I streamed games like PUBG and Valorant. This added another layer to my entrepreneurial journey, blending my love for gaming with content creation. In my third startup, Xpector Esports, I transitioned from management and operations to marketing, diving deep into brand building, influencer management, and digital growth strategies.
These experiences, filled with highs and lows, have shaped who I am today. Currently, I run a marketing agency named HIKE Entertainment. Based on my previous successes and failures, my team and I help MSMEs and traditional businesses transition into the digital world. We work with over 30 clients, including influencers, creators, cafes, and B2B businesses. Our services include website building, social media management, SEO, and SEM to achieve their desired outcomes and KPIs.
In addition to my agency, I recently resumed my content creation journey with a new YouTube channel, Karan Malhotra. This channel focuses on informative content and podcasts, where I delve into the insights behind success and the development of successful businesses.
I'm eager to see where it takes me next
