About

2026: Building the world's biggest Linkedin-&-Newsletter-as-a-service agency for AI startups 2025: Operated one of the biggest AI newsletters @StayingAhead + Head of Growth at HOOC, an IG-as-a-service firm. 2024: Built a content agency as Head of Growth from 0 to 6-figures @Thriveletter. 2023: Did tons of creator-led campaigns. Wrote scripts, planned and executed strategies that drove ROI. 2022: Content marketer for @YourstoryTechsparks, India's biggest tech event. After dabbling my hands in every form of marketing you can think of (performance, instagram, linkedin, x, youtube, email, SEO), I've learnt one insight: F*ck vanity metrics. Views / Impressions are all waste if you don't have an optimised system and funnel to capture revenue out of it. Building a pipeline (Eventually Revenue) is the only Metric that matters. Investing in linkedin & email newsletters is the best thing that you can do for your startup growth in 2026. Interested? Let's make it happen, together. Drop me a DM and let's chat!
