As the founder and director of Digistart, my journey into the world of business has been driven by a deep curiosity and a relentless desire to create impactful solutions. Growing up in India, I was always fascinated by the way businesses operated, which eventually led me to pursue my education in the United States. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to pursue Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Entrepreneurship from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where I began to truly understand the power of innovation and strategic thinking. While still in college, I saw a significant gap in the digital marketing landscape—a need for more innovative and client-focused solutions. This realization prompted me to take a leap and start my own company, Digistart, in 2020. What began as a concept quickly grew into a recognized digital marketing agency, officially recognized by Startup India. Leading this company has been an incredible journey, from overseeing website development and creative strategies to client acquisition and business expansion. Today, Digistart has grown to include over 10 full-time employees, serviced more than 20 clients, and achieved a revenue of $45,000 in 2022 and $150,000 in 2023 The success of Digistart didn’t happen overnight. My professional experiences with global firms like Ernst & Young, KPMG, and Schneider Electric played a crucial role in shaping my approach to business. At Ernst & Young, I delved into financial analysis and market research within the real estate sector, which sharpened my analytical skills. My time at KPMG was particularly formative, as I was part of a team that launched a new digital service, integrating multiple teams and ensuring a smooth launch. Each of these experiences taught me invaluable lessons about financial modeling, market strategy, and the importance of cross-functional collaboration. My diverse experiences have cultivated a unique blend of entrepreneurial drive and corporate know-how. Looking back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, from my early days as a curious student to leading a successful company. My journey is far from over, and I remain passionate about exploring new opportunities and setting higher benchmarks for success. Digistart is just the beginning, and I’m excited to continue this journey, driving growth and making a meaningful impact through everything I do.
