Building Stori | Head Personal Branding & Content Marketing | Personal Branding Strategist | Managing Brands & People

I’m a marketing strategist with 4+ years of experience working across personal branding, influencer marketing, content strategy, and creator-led storytelling.
I’ve worked closely with coaches, founders, and creators - helping them shape narratives, build personal brands from the inside out, and show up online with clarity and confidence.

Over the years, I’ve interacted with countless influencers and digital creators, understanding deeply what drives visibility, trust, and audience loyalty.
This experience has shaped the way I approach marketing:
not as a loud performance, but as a human conversation.

For the past two years, I’ve also been building and strategising a newsletter from scratch.
A big part of this work involves researching how real people communicate - digging into Reddit threads, analysing LinkedIn posts, studying creator patterns, and speaking to people who show up authentically online.
From all these insights, we create simple, actionable prompts that make personal branding feel less intimidating and more accessible.

And then there’s my other identity - the writer.
For the last 1.5 years, I’ve been working quietly on my personal blog, where I talk about emotions, womanhood, the things we internalise, and the feelings we rarely articulate.
It’s where I’ve discovered that sharing honestly creates space for others to say, “I feel that too.”

My work is strategy.
My writing is honesty.
My brand is a blend of both.

If you’re someone who values storytelling, authenticity, emotional depth, and marketing that feels human - we’re speaking the same language.

BUSINESS COACH for MSMEs | Chartered Accountant | AUTHOR - Business Champ | PODCAST HOST - Business Veda | YOUTUBER | Keynote Speaker

For the past 30+ years, I’ve been mentoring entrepreneurs, decision makers, and business owners - helping them move from stagnation to sustainable growth.

Over time, I’ve realized most businesses don’t fail because of lack of effort, but because they lack clarity, structure, and accountability. That’s where I come in.

I work closely with entrepreneurs to:

* Define a clear vision and set achievable goals.
* Build a robust business plan for every division.
* Draw our Systems, Processes and SOPs
* Create reporting templates to track key business parameters.
* Establish regular review meetings so teams stay aligned on performance and financials.

In short, I help you run your business like a pro so you can finally sit on top of it, not under it.

Beyond mentoring, I also run Book Summary Sessions - a powerful way to learn and discuss business lessons from the world’s best books, in a time efficient and engaging manner.

I’m also the author of Business Champ, a book born out of my years of experience with businesses that have failed, stagnated and succeeded.

Kids act more like adults than adults these days!


We often hear - "Keep the kid within you alive."
But kids these days like to believe the opposite. 

Smart phones and internet have become a necessity even for toddlers.
Be it during their meals or to divert them, such exposure is affecting them in many ways. 

But EMoMee's pitch says otherwise.
Varun Duggirala and Pooja Jauhari are building a platform where kids when exposed to screen time will experience age friendly characters and words, soothing colors, and stories that educate them.

It will not be content but stories that children can actually benefit from.

Shark Tank India's 5th season has just started and I'm already amazed by ideas that's helping solve modern day problems. 

It wasn't just a pitch, it was a much needed solution.

When all 5 sharks make an offer, you know something is right!


That’s exactly how impressive Yash Kalra was on Shark Tank India.

What began as a pitch quickly turned into a story that captured the attention of all five sharks, and that says a lot.

There’s something about Gen Z founders.
The clarity, the effort, the energy they bring to their work is genuinely commendable.

Coming to Yash’s pitch - it was solid.
So solid that every shark made an offer and tried to make it work.

Watching this reminded me of an important lesson in entrepreneurship -
You don’t need perfection to begin.
You need courage to start.

The moment you take the first step, learning begins.
Mistakes happen, feedback comes in, and things slowly fall into place.

Yash’s pitch was impressive not just because of the product, but because of the belief behind it.

And that kind of confidence can only come when you’re building something you truly believe in.

You’re not late!


You’re not behind.
You’re just on your own timeline.

Careers don’t move in straight lines - they evolve through pauses, restarts, and quiet rebuilds.

Trust the process.
Keep showing up.
Great things take time.

Nothing went the way it should have.


That's what we say when we fail. Or don't excel at something in one go.

Setbacks are usually loud.

They come with missed targets, uncomfortable conversations, and moments where confidence takes a hit. 

From the outside, they look like failure. From the inside, they feel personal.

But if you look closely, most meaningful progress doesn’t happen in straight lines.
They’re built in the pauses after things break.

What you do next is what matters.

You either carry the story of the setback, or you use it to rewrite how you show up.

#thought

People call it “crazy” when they don’t see the full picture.


They don’t see the late nights.
The self-doubt.
The failed attempts that came before the confidence.

Believing you can do something doesn’t mean you’re fearless.
It usually means you’re just tired of convincing yourself you can’t.

Most progress starts looking irrational to others long before it starts making sense.

Sometimes, being “crazy enough” is just choosing not to quit before things begin to work.
And honestly, that’s where most journeys actually start.

#thought

Are you someone who's STUCK in their business?


If yes, then growth will always feel hard.

The real shift doesn't happen when you keep working.
It happens when you start learning, thinking, and building better systems.

That's the E-Myth shift every founder needs. 
And I'm here to teach it to you.

Hi, I'm CA Malay Damania and I host Book Summary Sessions where we pick a book in each session and discuss the key takeaways.

If you are someone who likes reading books but doesn't get the time.
Or are someone who wants to grow by learning from books, this session is just for you.

Sunday, 11th January
10 - 11 am

Calling everyone who wants to attend a complimentary session.

With the 'NO 10 minute delivery' quick commerce still won!
Here's why - 


Over the last few years, multiple road safety reports and news investigations have highlighted a worrying pattern -
Delivery riders rushing against the clock, unsafe driving, ignored traffic rules, and avoidable accidents.

In several cities, authorities documented injuries and fatalities linked to delivery pressure, where speed promises translated into real risk on real roads.

That’s not innovation. That’s a cost we shouldn’t accept.

Speed is powerful, but when it becomes a promise, it also becomes pressure.

No app explicitly asks riders to break rules.
But when time is the headline metric, behavior follows.

And the impact isn’t theoretical.
It shows up as accidents, hospitalisations, and families paying the price for a feature that was never meant to be life-threatening.

The no 10-minute rule isn’t anti convenience.
It’s pro safety.

It shifts the focus from “beat the clock” to “reach safely.”
From urgency at all costs to responsibility at scale.

Progress should make life easier, not riskier.
And any system that depends on human effort must protect the humans first.

Speed can wait. Lives can’t.

This isn’t about slowing down innovation.
It’s about making sure innovation doesn’t outrun common sense.

Sometimes, the right step forward is knowing when to pull the brakes.
