18 months ago, I left Faridabad and EY with a suitcase and a lot of fire because something inside me said there's a lot more waiting.
So I moved to Bangalore and joined topmate.io, which had no playbook and no safety net. It was more idea than infrastructure. And that felt like home.
I stayed up till 2 AM on most nights.
Rewrote landing page copy. Shaped product flows. I led some of our biggest marketing campaigns - the ones that made global creators talk, and brought in 60% traffic spikes on days we least expected.
✅ I launched 20+ organic campaigns. Two of them went viral. Covered by every major media house in India in a single month.
✅ I helped scale Topmate to 1M+ creators today. Hosted the Topmate Creator Awards. Boosted landing traffic by 40% in the last 3 weeks - all organic.
✅ I cold-DM’d creators. Cold-called users using AI tools, and hit an 18% conversion rate.
✅ I closed influencer partnerships and affiliate collabs that got us 26K+ bookings in a single month.
✅ I owned the content. Took over email marketing - hit 60% open rates and 28% conversion on average (the best ones being 80% and 42% respectively).
✅ Ran socials (initially). Grew instagram following by 40% and added 7000+ followers on LinkedIn in the first couple of months I joined.
✅ Used AI for WhatsApp marketing.
✅ Created video content using HeyGen and ElevenLabs for performance marketing campaigns.
✅ Started learning to code - for the first time, launched a campus ambassador program (that failed), all while telling stories that made people stop.
And then came the last two months.
The world was moving fast. But I felt… stuck.
Not because I didn’t love what I was doing, but because growth was asking for a different direction. It’s time to start again.
When I joined topmate, I joined it with the hope of growing it from 0-1. To lead with curiosity. To learn a lot.
And I did.
But somewhere along the way, I realised… I’m not meant to stay parked on the highway. I’m meant to take flights. And this is mine.
I don’t know if anyone’s going to miss me here.
But I do know I’ll carry this chapter with deep gratitude.
So, what’s next?
I’m looking for a role where learning is a non-negotiable, perhaps in an AI-first company or a Venture firm. Because with AI, we can build, tell 0-1 stories and scale in an unprecedented way, and I want to be a part of that.
If you think we’d be a good fit, let’s chat.
