My efforts included creating B2B marketing campaigns, primarily through LinkedIn, and personalised email marketing outreach for lead generation and brand awareness.

Microsoft Excel Expert Course

COVID

During the Covid Lockdown in 2021, I decided to revisit a previous failure in website development and turn it into an opportunity for growth. Although my initial attempt at using Webflow had not been successful, I was determined to give it another shot, this time exploring different platforms. 

I began by taking online courses tailored to specific platforms, like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace, and then put my newfound knowledge into practice by creating dummy websites. 

This hands-on experience helped me overcome my previous setbacks and achieve success in website development, transforming a past failure into a triumphant learning journey. 

Freelance

As a freelancer, I had the opportunity to work with Devta Life Foundation, where I took on the challenge of creating a custom design using Figma and developing their website, www.devtalifefoundation.org

My focus was on ensuring an SEO-friendly structure and optimising the content management system. This project not only allowed me to apply my design and development skills but also gave me a platform to create various forms of content. I crafted blog posts, social media posts, flyers, and posters, all tailored to support the foundation’s mission and vision. 

My work with the Devta Life Foundation stands as a testament to my growing skills in both web development and content creation. 

Award

Felicitated by the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, India, for outstanding performance among all scholarship recipients upon graduation.

Failed Pursuit

In 2022, I made the decision to explore the possibility of pursuing a PhD. Here’s an overview of my experience:

The pursuit of a PhD was driven by a desire to delve deeper into my field of interest and contribute to academic research at the highest level.

I began by contacting professors from the University of Melbourne (Unimelb) and connecting with PhD students in Australia to gain insights and guidance. Additionally, I sought the assistance of an Overseas Education Consultant to ensure that I was taking the right steps.

I successfully wrote the research proposal, an essential component of the application process, which was a significant achievement in itself.

Despite my initial enthusiasm, I decided not to pursue the PhD further. This change of heart was influenced by financial conditions and a fear of wasting time in the process without ultimately being selected.

Although this endeavour did not lead to a successful PhD pursuit, it was a valuable learning experience. My research proposal reflects on the effort and dedication I invested in this path. In the end, I recognised this experience as a failure in terms of achieving my initial goal, but it also provided important insights and growth.

Founder

In 2022, I started BraveCheese, a venture aimed at providing affordable and tailored digital marketing services to a diverse clientele. This includes small businesses, freelancers, and side hustlers.
