Latest update: Co-Founder, CGO at Lyzr Launched Everything AI --> It's Open Sea for AI tools. www.everythingai.club. Previously, I ran a performance marketing company: Growthspartan and a life skills platform: Masterlife. I like writing about business growth & personal growth. Surprisingly both in principle have a lot in common. The world is constantly signalling and it's getting extremely noisy. The only way to stand out today is to be you. To be the 1%, your actions, habits and thinking have to be like the 1%. Input metrics is all that matters. A quick highlight reel: 1) Did an Olympic triathlon in 2016. I wanted to do this before i turned 30 and was lucky to have a friend and an accountability partner for this. 2) Graduated from Columbia University in 2012. Realized that i wasn't the smartest person in the room. 3) Climbed Stok Kangri (~20,000 ft) in 2017. Worth doing in your 20's if you're willing to rough it out. 4) Wrote a book called Scale Smart in 2019. Book writing is one of the hardest things i've done. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone today. It's easier to start a podcast or create videos than write a book. It's sold more than 4,000+ copies. 5) I lived in South America, SE Asia, Africa, US and Europe for quite a few years. Most people are fundamentally the same. 6) I played basketball growing up. Played for college, university, state & was called for India camp. A lot of my identity comes from basketball. I was so lucky to play in a team and make friends that i am still in touch with today. 7) Being born into a happy family. My father was a pilot, my mom was an amazing teacher and my brother set the bar high growing up. They've taught me to have work hard, have fun, build good relationships and do things with high integrity. Outside of marketing, I like teaching, connecting with people, selling and creating new things. How we could work together: 1) Start paying for Lyzr :) 2) Advisory, Equity at AI startups. Can help with growth. 3) Check out AI tools at Everything AI 4) Need help with setting up teams, process, growth. #marketing #growth #AI
