How Networking Helped Grow My Digital Marketing Agency in India
Starting TechSolvent was never just about launching a digital marketing agency — it was about bringing a vision to life. A vision shaped by my love for branding, strategy, and helping others turn ideas into impact. When I stepped away from job security and chose the entrepreneurial path, I thought my digital marketing expertise would be enough. But I quickly realized — mastering the craft is one thing, building a business from the ground up is another.
What kept me grounded from day one was a simple truth:
If I wanted to survive and grow in this competitive space, I had to build meaningful relationships and deliver consistent, high-quality work. Whether my clients were from India or abroad, I stayed committed to being accessible, dependable, and results-driven.
Because quality builds trust — and trust builds legacy.
The Challenge of Building a Team
Once the foundation was in place, I was faced with another big test — building the right team.
Hiring was never just about filling roles. I knew that if I wanted TechSolvent to grow, I needed to:
- Keep the team genuinely inspired
- Give them creative freedom
- Equip them with every resource they need
- And most importantly, make them feel like they belonged
For me, building a team has always felt like building a second family.
You can’t lead just with instructions — you lead with empathy, trust, and belief.
That culture became one of our strongest assets.
When Everything Fell Apart
Every entrepreneur hits a wall. I hit mine hard. There came a phase when revenue dried up. Projects paused. I couldn’t pay salaries.
The pressure was real — not just professionally, but emotionally too. But something incredible happened. For three straight months, not a single person on my team asked for their salary. They chose to stand by me — because they believed in our mission, and more importantly, they believed in me. I continued working day and night, with zero income but complete faith. Then, in September 2023, our breakthrough came. One client became two. Then three. Then five. And the very first thing I did?
I paid my team — with tears of gratitude and a heart full of pride.
How Networking Helped Grow My Digital Marketing Agency in India
Once we regained momentum, I knew I had to go further.
So I stepped out of my comfort zone and began:
- Attending business exhibitions
- Visiting companies for direct pitches
- Expanding my professional network
Over time, referrals became our biggest growth engine. More than ads or promotions, it was the trust we built as a local digital marketing company that brought us new opportunities. Relationships were our strongest form of ROI.
Mentorship That Transformed My Digital Marketing Journey
Around this time, I had the honour of meeting Shri Santosh Shukla Ji — a moment that truly transformed my journey. At first, I didn’t fully grasp the magnitude of his presence. But with every meeting, his humility, clarity of thought, and command over language left a lasting impression. Shri Santosh Ji is the Founder President & CEO of the World Book of Records, and a Supreme Court Advocate of India. More than his credentials, his presence — calm yet powerful — inspired me deeply. His story, his wisdom, and the authenticity in his words shifted my mindset. That day, I walked away with a new perspective. Today, I consider Shri Santosh Ji one of my most respected mentors. He taught me the power of presence, the importance of authenticity, and the value of meaningful influence.
Scaling My Digital Marketing Services with Confidence & Strategy
With the right team, mindset, and support system, we began scaling.
We’ve helped businesses grow from scratch to ₹5–10 lakh/month in revenue, working on:
- Brand identity development
- Website design and development
- Marketplace onboarding
- Social media management
- Paid advertising (Meta Ads, Google Ads, LinkedIn)
- Conversion funnel design
- Performance tracking & optimization
Some clients came to us with only an idea. Others needed full-funnel campaigns or a strong brand identity to begin with. No matter where they started, we partnered with them to build something scalable. That’s when I knew — we’re not just an agency. We’re growth partners.
Future Goals for My Digital Marketing Agency in India
Today, we’re stepping into a new office — a larger space with bigger dreams.
There’s still a lot ahead:
- Tackling new client challenges
- Scaling operations
- Managing legal & financial compliance
- Growing our team
- Exploring international expansion opportunities
But I’m no longer afraid. This journey has taught me that with the right vision, the right people, and unshakable persistence — anything is possible.
Let’s Connect and Grow Together
If you’re someone who dreams of building something meaningful — take the leap. There will be struggles. But there will also be strength. Let’s build. Let’s scale. Let’s grow — together.
