Founder, CEO

Corporate Net Solutions

Experienced COO in the SaaS industry with a focus on operations, sales, and marketing. Eager to connect with like-minded professionals and always open for a thoughtful discussion. For a deeper dive into my journey and expertise, feel free to read on.

A first-generation immigrant turned serial entrepreneur, I embody the concept of self-made success. 

From launching my first venture at 19 to co-founding multiple successful software companies, I've explored various niches in the digital space, always leaving a significant footprint behind.

With an entrepreneurial journey that started in web hosting with businesses like Host The Name and Power Up Hosting, I found my calling in the SaaS industry. Teaming up with my best friend and business partner, Udit Goenka, and later our CTO Lukas Liesis, we embarked on a mission to revolutionize the SaaS landscape with Little SaaS, a company that has given birth to innovative platforms such as PitchGround.com and FirstSales.io.

PitchGround.com serves as a bridge between SaaS founders and their first 1,000 users, while FirstSales.io – a cold email outreach automation tool – is increasingly becoming the software of choice for modern B2B sales professionals. Our vision with FirstSales.io is to make sales automation more efficient and effective, drawing from our technical background to create innovative solutions that evolve with the industry's demands.

As a COO managing multiple projects, I've faced challenges and celebrated wins, but one motto always guides me: "Always keep moving forward with Empathy for others and yourself." This belief is reflected in my approach to work and leadership. It's also shaped my expertise in areas like Cold Email Copywriting, Sales Funnel Strategy, Pipeline Building, Revenue Growth, and Management of Sales, Marketing, and Software Development Staff.

Aside from my business endeavors, I'm also a mentor for young entrepreneurs through the Forbes Business Council. It gives me great satisfaction to witness businesses grow and surpass their potential via platforms like PitchGround and FirstSales.io.

Looking to connect with like-minded professionals, potential collaborators, and anyone interested in transforming the world of SaaS.

If you are a sales professional in the B2B space, FirstSales.io is worth a look. Automation is key to growth in this space, and FirstSales has it covered.

If you are a SaaS founder looking for traction for your project, contact me on LinkedIn, and let's chat. I'd love to hear more about your project and help you get your first 1,000 users. 🚀

Marketing & Sales Mentor for SaaS Startups

It's an absolute honor to become a member and part of the Young Entrepreneurs Council.

At the age of 16, with 256 Kbps Internet speed, I started my career as a self-taught graphic designer. 

After landing a few projects, I was hungry to keep learning more, and that's how I landed in web development. 

At the age of 18, while still pursuing my education, I launched my first product around WordPress security, which did wonder. It not only paid for my entire education but helped me become financially independent as a teenager.

However, I exited that project and continued with my college and freelance development. 

At the age of 20, I met my first co-founder Oscar Hernandez (He has been my co-founder ever since in everything that we do), known as Power Up Hosting; I ran the company for over 7-years before exiting. 

At 24, I started India's first PBN Hosting platform, which I later exited in 2017. 

My life changed when I launched my third startup, which failed severely and changed my whole life. 

It taught me some of the most valuable life lessons, including management, team hiring, and more. 

The failure of my third startup gave me the idea of PitchGround (My most successful startup to date, currently valued at $20m as of 2022). PitchGround is a SaaS Marketplace that bridges the gap between early-stage SaaS companies and early adopters, small-medium-sized businesses. 

With over 92% of the SaaS companies failing in the first three years of their business, our mission was to resolve this unresolved market worth over $200 billion. 

During this journey, I met my second co-founder Lukas Liesis, building the company's core foundation. 

Launched PitchGround on the 25th of September 2018, PitchGround has done over $5m in sales as a bootstrapped company, something our entire team is proud of. 

PitchGround has helped hundreds of companies and has seen over 80% of companies succeeding who are launching with us, out of which 15% of the companies can successfully raise capital post launching their SaaS on our platform. 

At PitchGround, we firmly believe in our 3P philosophy for any founder who wants to achieve a product-market fit - Product, People & Pricing (Same format). 

In 2021, I started Angel Investment, and so far, I have invested in 36 startups; I mentor some of them to give back to the community. 

In 2022, I rebuilt my previous failure, known as https://firstsales.io, which is doing $500k ARR in just 5 months.

SEOengine.ai

Our five-step specialised SEO AI agent crafts content that ranks effortlessly in searches and is cited by LLMs. 

SEOengine is part of the TinyCheque's portfolio, as we continue to develop a robust collection of AI SaaS products through our AI venture studio. 

Based on all our experiments, we found the inflection point here. 

When you use SEOengine and publish at least 300 pieces of content, each around 4,000–6,000 words in total, over a two-month period, you will start to see traction coming in from the third month onwards, and the graph will only go up from there.

Last week, I got the opportunity to do my 3rd TEDx 

..but this was the most special one for three reasons: 

1) It was about AI
2) It was in my city, amchi Mumbai
3) It was organized by University of Mumbai

The topic was by far one of most interesting topic I have spoken about so far.

“Human curiosity when multiplied with AI, it leads to breakthrough” 

If anyone needs my presentation then feel free to DM me. 

To this awesome community who follows me here thank you for all your support and love. 

Also, a special thanks to the TEDxADMI team and Smita Shukla, Director, IQAC, University of Mumbai, Shashank Tiwari - Educator and Innovator, Rushika Vyas -Media Committee Coordinator ADMIFMS, and Dianne Moraes for all the follow ups, and patience.

People: 

Udit, how are you growing Qcall.ai without making so much noise on LinkedIn? 

Me: Here you go :) 

SEO / AEO for the win..

We are still in the early days of getting cited by LLM’s.. 

I have put together a guide that can help you get started.. 

Just comment “SEO engine” and I will share that guide with you.. 

Do yourself a favor, and start early before you lose out one of the biggest growth opportunities

Gemini 3 just made every $25K AI consultant look dumb.

Google silent-dropped autonomous agents to 650 million users yesterday while consultants were still billing hourly.

What agencies charge $25K and 8 weeks to "implement" now takes 4 minutes on a phone.

Here's what actually changed:

The model: 

→ Plans multi-step workflows autonomously 
→ Executes start to finish with zero hand-holding 
→ Optimized for non-experts (no CS degree needed) 
→ Already live on mobile canvas feature

While "AI agencies" are charging $10K-$25K for strategy decks, Google just deployed real automation to more people than ChatGPT's entire user base.

The intelligence gap is getting stupid:

That consultant billing $250/hr to "set up AI workflows" 
→ The app does it autonomously now

That agency charging $25K for "custom AI implementation" 
→ Built in 4 minutes on Gemini 3 mobile

That bootcamp selling "learn AI automation" for $3K 
→ Obsolete before the course launched

Some startup just replaced their $20K/month AI consulting retainer with a free app.

Same output. 4 minute setup. Zero technical knowledge required.

Most businesses still think AI automation needs:

> 6 month roadmaps
> Technical teams
> Consulting firms
> $50K+ budgets

Reality: It needs a phone and 4 minutes.

Your competition doesn't know this exists yet.

But they will.

I am sharing this prompt in my AI community tomorrow, if you need access to the prompt then... 

Comment "GEMINI" and I'll send you the invite to the community and you can access the prompt.

We have secretly turned LLMs our sales people. 

Here is how..

This is how I've been landing US clients secretly..

..without spending a dime.
(24 hours only)

For the last few months, we had been quietly focusing on acquiring customers for Autoposting.ai..

..without making much noise, but rather focusing on inbound leads..

These are leads: 

> who wants to purchase our product
> they already know the value our product will deliver
> we don't need to spend too much time convincing them 
> they are discovering us automatically

You know what's even better? 

LLMs are doing the sales work for us. 

Search engines will only give you the links but LLMs understand the context well, and is convincing the user to use us. 

The best part? 

We did not spent a dime (other than using our own product SEOengine.ai) 

I'm going to share all my strategies with you, so that you can replicate them for your own business. 

Comment 'SEO engine' and I will send you the guide. 

I'm keeping this open for the next 24 hours only...

..after that, I won't share the guide. 

P.S. Attaching a screenshot proof of our citations.

Mckinsey's new AI report is out. 

Here is everything you need to know...

TL;DR

> Widespread Adoption, Limited Scale: 88% of organizations use AI regularly (up from 78% in 2024), but only one-third have scaled beyond pilot phases.

> AI Agents Gaining Momentum: 62% are experimenting with AI agents, with 23% scaling deployments—though primarily in just 1-2 functions.

> Innovation Over Profit: 64% report AI enables innovation, but only 39% see measurable EBIT impact—the value promise remains largely unrealized.

> High Performers Think Transformationally: Organizations with 5%+ EBIT impact are 3.6× more likely to pursue transformative change versus incremental improvements.

> Workflow Redesign Is Critical: High performers are 2.8× more likely to fundamentally redesign workflows rather than layer AI onto existing processes.

> Size Matters for Scaling: 49% of $5B+ companies reach scaling phase versus 29% of sub-$100M companies—resources create competitive advantages.

> IT and Knowledge Management Lead: These functions show highest agent adoption, with service-desk automation and research use cases most mature.

> Tech, Telecom, Healthcare Are Frontrunners: These industries report highest AI agent scaling rates, while manufacturing and construction lag.

> Leadership Commitment Defines Success: High performers are 3× more likely to have senior leaders demonstrating ownership and role-modeling AI adoption.

> Investment Intensity Separates Winners: High performers allocate 35% of digital budgets to AI versus 7% for others—a 4.9× difference.

> Workforce Impact Uncertain: 32% predict workforce reductions of 3%+, 43% expect no change, 13% expect increases—larger firms anticipate bigger shifts.

> Cost Benefits in Technical Functions: Software engineering (56%), manufacturing (56%), and IT (54%) see highest cost reductions; revenue gains strongest in marketing/sales (67%).

> Risk Management Maturing: Organizations now mitigate 4 AI risks on average (up from 2 in 2022), prioritizing inaccuracy (54%), cybersecurity (51%), and compliance (43%).

> Talent Strategy Evolving: Active hiring for AI data scientists (30%), data engineers (29%), and ML engineers (29%)—larger companies 2× more likely to hire specialists.

> Best Practices Span Six Dimensions: Success requires excellence across strategy, talent, operating model, technology, data, and adoption—key practices include human-in-the-loop validation and agile delivery.

..or drop your thoughts.

Imagine it’s 1950. 

You tell people using slide rules that computers will soon digitize the world. 

They think you're crazy.  

That is exactly where we are today with AI.

Stanford’s Gordian Knot Center just broke down the state of AI. 

The hype is gone—the reality is here.  

Here is the signal amidst the noise:

> The "Patent Explosion" Signal: 

IP leads reality. AI patent filings in 2021 were 30x higher than in 2015. This isn't a tool; it's a global disruptor. 

> The Hierarchy of Intelligence

Stop using these interchangeably:

→ AI: The catchall for "Intelligent Machines."
→ Machine Learning: Algorithms that learn patterns without explicit rules.
→ Deep Learning: Neural Nets solving complex tasks like vision. 

> The Paradigm Shift: Code vs. Data:

This is the biggest shift in 75 years.
→ Classic: Humans code rules. (Input + Rules = Output) 
→ AI: Computer figures out the rules. (Input + Output = Rules)  

> The Hardware Reality: 

You can't run modern AI on old chips.
→ Training: The "School." Massive GPU clusters costing millions to teach the model.
→ Inference: The "Job." Putting the model to work on the edge. 

> The Death of the OODA Loop
In War and Business, "Observe-Orient-Decide-Act" is too slow. It's retrospective.

The new cycle is Sense-Predict-Agree-Act. 

AI senses the environment, predicts the enemy, and humans simply agree. 

We are looking at Moore's Law on steroids.  

If you are still operating on a "Classic Computing" mindset, you are holding a slide rule in a digital world.
