4.What problems does your venture solve? What are your products or services.
I have helped world’s top firms, fortune 500 companies to top Indian businesses but when I started, I preferred to help small and medium local business to scale up and take their biz to next level.
We help online local businesses to outreach their target audience, making sure they get the maximum share of local leads by using organic search and content marketing.
5.Share the idea or story behind the venture. How did it come to an existence?
Why don’t you help people? asked an 60 year old business owner contacted me on Facebook and whom I helped fix a small SEO issue on his website for free. He later on became my first client and mentor as well.
I made my first million in 3 months and my firm was rated as 7th best SEO Company in India.
6.How did you identify your co-founder?
I never had a co-founder actually, some of my close friends walked with me to scaled up the business.
7.What expansion plans are you looking for the next 2 years, next 5 years?
Most of the consulting business comes from word of mouth; with a very limited focus on consulting I am building some web products that’ll generate gradually increasing income, in other words I am working on couple of long term sustainable business strategies!
8.Where do you want to see yourself in next 5 years?
To grow my team to at least 50 within a self-sustaining business module so that I can get enough time for travelling the world, as well as I would like to make quality digital marketing education FREE so the people in tire 2 cities can take benefit and can move to corporate jobs rather than sticking to a back office jobs, we have started with a plan for the same.
9.Have you raised any funding? Or have any plans for the funding?
The only fund I raised was a 50-pound payment (that was the first money I made from the internet), since then my consulting biz and web products are boot strapped.
We have a new business lined up in 2017 that will compete with BIG US firms, and we may seek funding to market the same.
10.What were the problems you faced during the starting days and how did you resolve them?
I started with 50 pound funds, worked from a non-commercial area, poor Internet and lack of skilled resources. Glad I had some of my good friends joined in and help me scaled up the business quickly.
At the start, all we needed was client’s and I was afraid because I never was a good businessman but I was good with people. We started pitching HONEST SEO to the client’s where there was no false promises in the proposal unlike other companies, with great results for initial SEO projects our client base quickly increase by word of mouth. (Absolutely NO spend on marketing)

From the industry Vivek Bhargava the CEO of DAN Performance Group is the man! His approach towards life and business and ideology is simple yet the most amazing.
