In the last three years,

I’ve helped brands go from 0 to 500K+ organic impressions, built communities of 30K+ followers and created marketing funnels that brought in $1M in revenue. And we did it all without ads - just smart personal branding, growth-focused strategy and clear positioning.

Hi, I’m Diksha. I started my career in sales, working a regular job and following the conventional path, but I knew I was meant for more. I wanted to build something of my own, make an impact and help businesses grow the right way. So, I took the leap, left my job and founded Techqilla in 2021.

I help Founders, Creators and Businesses:
  • Make videos and reels that get them noticed
  • Use effective growth marketing strategies to increase results
  • Create stories that attract the right people

As the CEO & Founder of Techqilla, I’ve worked with brands in:
- Real Estate & Construction
- E-commerce & D2C
- Consulting & Coaching
- Finance & Startups
- Creative & Media

Here’s how I do it ↓
Smart marketing that brings leads, a strong personal brand that builds authority and growth that lasts because attention without trust is pointless.

Friday- Story time. 

Today, it’s our Story - Diksha & Rahul


This is something I wanted to share with you all, as my LinkedIn family.

A little personal, a little special:

It all started in Dehradun. A quiet, green city surrounded by mountains and mist, where our story began.

Like many modern love stories, ours started as an arranged marriage setup. I was skeptical. I've always believed love should happen naturally. What if we didn't connect? What if it felt forced?

But life has a way of surprising you.

That's when I met Rahul.

From the very first moment, there was something calm and reassuring about him. He had this quiet confidence. Later, he told me that the moment he saw me, he knew I was going to be the one.

Our first meeting wasn't just a formal introduction. It felt like a conversation we were always meant to have. We talked about everything from our childhood dreams to our work. There was laughter, there were stories, and there was a comfort that's rare to find so soon.

Our vibe matched instantly. There was no awkwardness, no trying too hard just two souls who understood each other from the start.

From that day on, everything changed.

Rahul, with his patience and warmth, became my safe place. He works as a logistics manager in Italy, structured and dependable, just like him. I run a marketing firm filled with creativity and chaos. He's the calm to my storm.

And

We're different in many ways - he's the calm, I'm the fire but together, we create a rhythm that just works.

The more time we spent, the more certain I became. He's not just the man I want to marry, he's the partner I always hoped for.

Now, we're getting married on March 11, 2026, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Sometimes I look back at that nervous girl in Dehradun and smile. 
Our story isn't about fairy tales it's about real connection and finding your person in the most unexpected way.

Because sometimes, love doesn't arrive with a grand entrance. 


It simply walks in, smiles, and says, "You're home." ❤️

You say you don’t have time to build your brand,

but you scroll for two hours every night without even realizing it.

And honestly, that’s most of us.

We think personal branding needs a big strategy, a perfect setup, a free weekend, or a content calendar with too many ideas.

But in reality, it just needs ten intentional minutes.

-Ten minutes of sharing what you already know.
-Ten minutes of putting your experience into words.
-Ten minutes of showing up instead of scrolling past.

The real issue isn’t time.

It’s priority.

We underestimate our voice

and overestimate how “perfect” our posts need to be.

But here’s the truth I’ve seen in my own journey and with every founder I’ve worked with:

Your brand doesn’t grow when you plan.
It grows when you show up.

You don’t need perfect content.
You need consistent presence.

And the crazy part?

Most of the opportunities you’re waiting for are sitting on the other side of one small post.
A thought.
A story.
An experience.

If you can scroll, you can post.
If you can write a WhatsApp message, you can write a LinkedIn caption.
If you can talk about your work to a friend, you can talk about it online too. ❤️

If we haven’t met, I’m Diksha.
I help founders turn their experience into influence and income through personal branding.

✨If you’re tired of overthinking and ready to start showing up, my DMs are open.

Here’s something I’ve realized over the years, and it might sting a little:

Most people don’t actually struggle with networking.

They struggle with being real.

Everyone wants “connections,”
but nobody wants to show up as an actual human first.

And trust me, I’ve met so many founders and CEOs across different cities and countries…
and the pattern is always the same.

Networking isn’t about collecting business cards or followers.

It’s about collecting trust.

And trust doesn’t grow when you:
❌ Pitch the second you meet someone
❌ Ask “so what do you do?” in that stiff, formal way
❌ Treat people like they’re a step on your ladder

It grows when you:
✔ Ask real, honest questions
✔ Listen without waiting for your turn to sell
✔ Follow up without an agenda
✔ Add value without expecting anything back

People don’t remember your job title.

They remember how you made them feel standing next to you.

My best partnerships?

They didn’t start in a meeting room.
They started during random chats, long coffees, shared struggles, shared values…
and sometimes even on flights and trips.

If you’re trying to grow your business, here’s the truth:
Stop running behind “big names.”
Start building real trust.

One honest relationship will open more doors than fifty “strategic contacts.”

My personal rule?
Show up as a human first.
Everything else follows.


(P.S. This photo is from my Dubai trip with my client and now friend, Derwin Hunt. Proof that good people and good relationships take you way further than any pitch ever will. 🫡)

Most founders think content is meant to share company updates -
and they’re WRONG!

Nobody’s scrolling through LinkedIn thinking,

“Hmm, let’s see what this startup did this week.” 🤔

People scroll because they want to feel something.
To learn something.
To relate to someone.

Content isn’t just an update board for your business.
It’s the bridge between your WORK and your AUDIENCE.

When founders start showing up as people 

Things REALLY change.
People start trusting you.
They remember you.
They buy from you.

That’s why I always say:
Your company content builds awareness.
But your personal content builds connection.

And connection is what actually drives business.

So, if you’re posting only about your product launches and awards,

You’re missing the real opportunity -

to show people who’s behind it all.

The founder.
The human.
The story.

That’s what people LOVE!

---------------------------------------
If we haven’t met yet, I’m Diksha. I built my entire business through real connections that started with a single post. I’ve got room to work with 10 more founders before 2025 ends. So, if you’ve been thinking about building your personal brand, now’s the time. 🤗



#ContentThatConnects #FounderStory #PersonalBranding #AuthenticLeadership #BuildTrust

You can have all the experience in the world,
but if nobody knows about it, what’s the point?

I’ve met so many brilliant people who’ve spent years mastering their craft.
They’ve built businesses, handled clients, learned through failure,
but when it comes to showing that experience online, they just…

 DISAPPEAR.

They’ll say things like,
“I don’t know what to post,”
or “I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging.”

And I get it.
It’s uncomfortable at first.
But your experience doesn’t work for you unless you use it.

You’ve already done the hard part 
You’ve lived it, learned it, earned it.

Now you just need to SHOW it.

Because experience isn’t your advantage if it’s invisible.

It only turns valuable when people can see it, learn from it, and trust you for it.

AND 
If you think about it 

That’s what personal branding really does -
It turns years of experience into credibility, trust, and business.

So stop waiting for the “right moment.”
Start sharing what you’ve already lived through.

That’s your POWER.

If we haven’t met yet, hi, I’m Diksha.
I’m a personal branding coach, and I’ve helped hundreds of CEOs and founders turn their expertise into influence and income.

If you’re ready to do the same, let’s talk.💜

Some people decompress with a glass of wine.
Some go for long drives.
Me? I hang out with this little fluffball.

This is Candy.

My co-founder in emotional support, part-time chaos creator, full-time reminder that life is bigger than deadlines and meetings.

The funny thing is… I get some of my best ideas for clients when I’m just sitting on the floor playing with him.

Leading a team, running a business, building a personal brand… it can get a lot.

And Candy reminds me to slow down for five minutes and breathe.

If you’re a founder reading this, here’s your gentle reminder:

Your best work won’t come from forcing it.

It comes from joy, rest, tiny breaks, warm moments, and whatever your “Candy” is.

So today, take a minute and do something that makes you feel human again.

Happy weekend! 

And yes… be nice and drop a compliment for him. 😂❤️

Social media didn’t make us FAKE.


It just gave us more mirrors.

We’ve always cared about how we look to others
Right? Back then it was the neighbors, classmates, or people at work.

Now it’s just... everyone online. 🤷‍♀️

And with so many mirrors around, it’s easy to start performing instead of just being.
To post what gets likes instead of what feels true.
To sound smart instead of being real.

But 

It’s about sharing the right things - the ones that actually reflect who you are and what you stand for.

Because people can feel what’s real.

They might not always double-tap it, but they remember it.

That’s the thing about personal branding.

It’s not about building a version of yourself that “works” online.

It’s about showing up as yourself, just with more intention and clarity.

So NO, social media didn’t make us FAKE.

It just asked us to choose which reflection we want to leave behind.


If you made it this far, you might just like what comes next, hit follow. 😉

A Quick Story Time 

You know those little moments that quietly reshape how you see your work?

I had one last week.

It was a regular Thursday. 

I hopped on a quick, no-agenda check-in with one of my clients, she’s from Colorado - it was the kind of call where you just see how the other person is really doing.

We talked about progress, a few small challenges, and life in general. 

It was easy. Normal.

But as we were about to log off, she paused.

And she said, so simply and so honestly:

“Diksha, working with you has genuinely made my life easier.”

I won’t lie, I got a little quiet after that.

It was one of those rare, crystal-clear reminders of why I do what I do.

It reminded me that the highest compliment isn’t “You’re smart” or “You’re successful.”

It’s “You’ve made my life better.”

My job as a Personal Branding consultant is about:

- being a source of calm, not another source of stress. 
- adding clarity, not complexity. 
- partnership, not JUST performance.

So to every client I've had the honor to work with, and to all the incredible people I'll partner with in the future - thank you!

This. 

This right here is exactly why I started in the first place.


What's a compliment that has always stayed with you? Share in the comments! ❤️
