Ended the financial year seeking Ram ji’s blessings. 🛕


“Mesmerising” doesn’t justify the jaw dropping beauty of the temple. But what surprised me is that entire temple is built using eco friendly techniques. 

If you are planning to visit Ayodhya, I would suggest you to prepone your plan and come here now. 

Kudos Modi sarkar. 👏🏻

My biggest fear until last year was attending a social gathering. 


I have suffered from social anxiety for the longest time in my life.

This invisible barrier made social interactions, from casual chat to professional networking to client meetings a daunting task for me.

And if you're reading this, chances are, you understand exactly what I'm talking about.

In a world that seems to celebrate extroversion, especially in professional settings, it's easy to feel out of place.

The idea of building a personal brand might seem even more challenging.

But here's the thing: your introverted nature isn't a setback, it's a power. And you don't have to change who you are to build a strong personal brand. Here are three tips to do it on your terms:

1. Lean Into Your Strengths: Introverts are often great listeners, deep thinkers, and highly observant. These qualities make you uniquely capable of creating content that resonates deeply with your audience. Focus on quality over quantity, and you'll find your tribe.

2. Create One-on-One Connections: Networking doesn't have to mean shouting over crowds at a conference. I always prefer 1:1 conversations over group ones. This helps me understand the other person better.

3. Use the Art of Storytelling: Sharing your experiences and listening to others' experiences can be a great icebreaker. Authenticity resonates, and your willingness to be vulnerable can be your biggest differentiator.

Ultimately, building a personal brand isn't about becoming someone you're not; it's about showcasing the best of who you are.

The most enduring brands are built not on the loudest voices, but on the most authentic ones.

Are you also an introvert? If yes, how do you overcome social anxiety?

New freelancers and agency owners are so fixated on making a 6/7 figure income that they forget this important thing: 



CLIENT RETENTION 

I know I sound like a broken record but I'll say it again: Client retention is equally important than client acquisition. 

After gaining an 85% CRR in our agency this financial year, I have realised that capitalising on your existing clients is far more rewarding than just focusing on onboarding new ones. 

Having a strong retention rate has helped us in multiple ways including: 

- Happy & long lasting clients 
- Better relationship with them 
- Getting referrals from them 
- Having a predictable workload 
- Increase in industry knowledge of our team
- Good agency reputation 

Ending the post with my favourite quote “One customer well taken care of could be more valuable than $10,000 worth of advertising.”
— Jim Rohn, American entrepreneur

What's more important to you: client acquisition or client retention?

WTF Nikhil Kamath surprised us once again! 


He has announced ‘WTFund’, a new grant designed to propel young innovators under the age of 25 into the entrepreneurial spotlight.

What is WTFund?
It is a sector-agnostic fund set to revolutionize startup funding by providing non-dilutive grants. This means recipients get the financial boost they need without giving up any equity in their company—a rare gem in the world of startup financing!

Nikhil Kamath’s ‘WTFund’ plans to back up to 40 startup founders with grants of INR 20 Lakh each, adding up to a substantial total corpus of around INR 8 Crore. 

This isn't just about the money; it's a complete support system that includes:

✅ Mentorship: Direct guidance from seasoned entrepreneurs and business leaders.

In a startup ecosystem crowded with equity-based funding, non-dilutive grants like those from ‘WTFund’ are gems. 

They allow founders to retain full control over their startups while still receiving the financial support they need to accelerate growth. 

If you’re a young entrepreneur dreaming of taking your startup to new heights, ‘WTFund’ is waiting for you. 

Apply today and be part of the new wave of founders who are ready to change the game.

My business grew by 4x with this one change in my sales strategy👇 



I started meeting my clients/prospects over a coffee. ☕ 

Honestly, I was bored of those same usual Zoom calls. I used to spend my days with a headset, reciting the same pitch, to the tune of endless ringing tones and voicemails. 

So I started asking for coffee chats from my potential clients. And guess what? 

- It helped in building better rapport with them 
- Quicker conversions
- More scope for cracking bigger deals 

Is it exhausting? Absolutely. 

Is it expensive? I got way more ROI.

Is it worth it? Big yes! 

Coffee meetings are game changers. 

They're relaxed, personal, and way more natural than delivering a rehearsed speech over the Zoom call. This face-to-face interaction builds real rapport, paving the way for genuine business relationships, rather than just transactions.

Since ditching cold calls, my earnings have jumped immensely (not gonna reveal the number lol). 

This new strategy isn’t just increasing my profits; it’s also making my work a lot more enjoyable. I am getting to meet the best people in the industry. 

So, if you’re thinking about a strategy refresh, why not give coffee meetings a shot? 

They could be just what you need to perk up your business—and your spirits.

Marwadi supremacy once again! 


You see the majority of surnames in India's rich list are either Marwadis or Gujaratis. 

But why? What's so damn good about them that no other community has been able to beat their business acumen yet?

- Marwadis are known to be frugal. They are best at expense management and avoid all sorts of fancy unnecessary expenses. You ask them for money and they'll always say, "pisa koni".
- They build legacy businesses over modern ones. They always think long-term.
- Marwadis are high on collaborating with their community and family members for businesses. They know how to leverage their network. 
- They are great negotiators. They always get the best deals for everything, without hurting the opposite party. 
- They never take their success seriously. You'll usually see them crying "dhanda ajkal manda chal rha hai". :P

What else do you think makes Marwadis the best entrepreneur? 

P.s: Do tag your Marwadi friends in the comments. :P

Giving up or Giving in?


Remember those butterflies before a big presentation? Yeah, that feeling used to follow me everywhere – even grocery shopping. Talking to people, especially in a professional setting, sent shivers down my spine. You can imagine how stressful that was during my first job search.

The constant hustle felt more like a struggle. Submitting applications, networking events, interviews – it all felt overwhelming. I knew I had the skills and the drive, but my anxiety held me back. Back when I was burning the midnight oil, it took me applying to 100+ companies at multiple places and platforms to find one paid internship. 

When I remember these situations, I am really happy I came a long way and it all paid off.

The reason I am mentioning this today is their latest campaign #ApnaHustleChalRahaHai. It beautifully captures the essence of the job search – acknowledging the struggles faced by aspirants while simultaneously motivating them to channel that effort into smart, focused action. By differentiating between "hustle" and "struggle," the ad empowers viewers to leverage APNA's platform and turn their relentless pursuits into successful career journeys which is brilliant!
