Wrapping up another impactful journey in Bengaluru.

Conducted a hands-on session on Social Media Branding for the Entrepreneurship Students at MIDAS School of Entrepreneurship Bengaluru.

We explored how founders can use digital platforms for building trust, community, and real business impact.

It’s always energizing to see young entrepreneurs eager to learn, experiment, and express their ideas with clarity and confidence.

The founders who grow fastest on LinkedIn have one thing in common they act instead of overthinking.

After working with 25+ Founders & CXOs Globally, I’ve seen the same 3 founder profiles dominate again and again.

Here’s what separates them.

→ The Operator.

They treat content like a system. They build SOPs for posting, delegate editing, and run their personal brand like business unit.

 For them, consistency is not optional it’s part of their calendar.

→ The Truth Teller. 

They speak straight from experience. No fluff. No “10 tips” listicles.
They share the exact failures and calls that shaped them.

Their audience trusts them because they don’t hide behind corporate polish.

→ The Teacher.

They document what they’re learning in real time. They post frameworks, break down playbooks, and share lessons as they happen.

Their content compounds because it attracts both peers and mentees.

The founders who win on LinkedIn aren’t chasing trends.
They’re doubling down on authenticity, systems, and clarity.

If you’re not growing, it’s not your algorithm.
It’s your approach.

Most founders build a brand, Few become the brand.
Here’s the difference 👇


When you hide behind your logo, you compete on ads, pricing, and product features. When you show your face you compete on trust, conviction, and story. People don’t trust “companies” anymore.

They trust faces, voices, and values. Think about it 
 Every brand you admire today has a human at the front who made it feel real.

→ Elon did it for Tesla.
→ Richard did it for Virgin.
→ Ghazal did it for Mamaearth.

Your story, your beliefs, your way of seeing the world that’s your unfair advantage.

That’s what no competitor can replicate. At TopXo Media, I’ve seen this first-hand. When founders start showing up online, everything changes brand visibility, inbound leads, hiring, even investor confidence.

Because when you become the face people trust,
your brand stops chasing attention it earns it.

Inconsistency destroys founder brands faster than bad ideas ever will.
I learned this the hard way.

A few years ago, I watched a brilliant founder lose all momentum because his message changed every week.

One day he talked about leadership. Next week he talked about productivity
A month later he talked about crypto.

His audience stopped trusting him because they never knew what he stood for

Here is the part most founders ignore.

Your audience studies your patterns more than your promises.

When your patterns shift every few days, people assume your business does too and attention disappears.

Here is the system I give founders who want to stay consistent without burning out.

→ Pick a core theme you can talk about for the next 5 years.
→ Choose 3 story lanes that support that theme.
→ Create a weekly rhythm you can stick to even on your worst days.
→ Review your content once a month to make sure the message still aligns with your long game.

This structure removes guesswork.

It builds trust through repetition.

And it keeps your brand sharp while everyone else pivots out of boredom.

If you want your founder brand to grow, protect your consistency like an asset.
It is the quiet force that compounds when nothing else seems to move.

Community-Led Growth: Your Real Personal Branding Advantage
Over time, I’ve realised something simple:

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂.
It’s not about chasing followers.

It’s about building a 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 and amplify your voice because they genuinely care.

Why It Works
People trust people far more than they trust polished content or ads.

When your brand becomes a conversation (not a broadcast), your audience turns into advocates. What Really Builds Community 

Not tactics.
Not aesthetics.
Shared values and authenticity.
Show the real journey wins, mistakes, and lessons.
People don’t connect with perfection; they connect with honesty.

Create Spaces for Connection Posts build visibility.
Conversations build community.

Engage in comments. Host a small forum. Start a newsletter.
Give people a place to connect with 𝘺𝘰𝘶 and with each other lead with value

My simple rule: give 10× more than you take.

When you do ask for support, your community shows up without hesitation.

Start Small You don’t need a thousand people.
Start with ten. Build relationships, not reach.
Your personal brand becomes powerful the moment it becomes 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

“He didn’t just sell agarbattis.
He sold belief, one fragrance at a time.”

From a Bicycle Seller to a ₹1700 Crore Empire: N. Ranga Rao’s Inspiring Rise in The Entrepreneur In You Series!

Some wait for luck. Others create it. Ranga Rao did both.

▶️ In 1948, he noticed something everyone ignored, incense sticks in the market had poor fragrance and burned unevenly. With no background in perfumery, he ordered books from Germany and taught himself the art of fragrance.

▶️ But every shopkeeper refused to stock his agarbattis. So, he came up with a masterstroke, he’d light them outside shops during rush hours. The fragrance pulled in curious customers, forcing dealers to ask for supply.

▶️ What began on a bicycle soon turned into Cycle Pure Agarbathies, now selling in 75+ countries, with a ₹1700 crore turnover and over 12 billion sticks sold every year.

▶️ From studying fragrance on borrowed books to building one of India’s most trusted devotional brands, his story proves that persistence smells sweeter than success itself.

➡️ From rejection to revolution, Ranga Rao’s journey reminds us: you don’t need resources to win, just relentless belief.

What’s your biggest takeaway from his journey?
