From early Google AdWords expert to building AI-ready businesses.
22+ years where marketing meets technology. I started by promoting websites in 2001. Today I build digital products, advise businesses and train thousands of people to use AI with confidence.
I wear many hats, for one purpose: helping businesses grow.
I began my career as one of India's early Google AdWords specialists, working closely with Google's team in Ireland. At WPP's Quasar Media I led search marketing for Fortune 500 brands such as Microsoft, Adobe, Citi and VISA. I also helped build one of the first Google API-based campaigns in India, for Reebok's Cricket World Cup push.
In 2009 I founded Blue Digital Media with almost no investment. It has since served 450+ brands across hospitality, education, retail, e-commerce and digital products. I took the agency to Malaysia, and since 2022 I've led technology and marketing for Cloudseed IT Solutions in Abu Dhabi, building products for the Gulf region.
My passion is sharing what I learn. Through my knowledge platform Open House, I've delivered 150+ trainings for universities and corporates in India, the UAE and Malaysia. Today my focus is simple: make AI practical and make people AI-ready.
