1.NAME:
Abhishek Kapoor
- PLACE OF BIRTH:
Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India
- DO TELL ABOUT YOURSELF AS AN ENTREPRENEUR, HOW DOES IT FEEL LIKE:
Being an entrepreneur gives you freedom to offer your clients whatever you feel you can do the best, while working for an organization has certain limitations as to what you can offer. Therefore, as an entrepreneur I feel more in control of what I do.
- DO TELL ABOUT YOUR STARTUP / STARTUPS:
Digital Golgappa is currently one of India’s most trusted and leading marketing and PR Agency, featured by Silicon India among the top 10 PR agencies of India, and by Startuphill and Semrush among the top innovative companies of Asia. Apart from being champions of personal branding, we are also into brand promotions. The Eagle Eye Network, Cherry Book Awards, The Update India (the news agency of Jagruk India, India’s oldest online community started by me), ASK Entertainment are some of the initiatives under Digital Golgappa.
- HOW HAS YOUR PASSION INFLUENCED YOU:
Very few people know that India’s first ever online community and social media influencer page Jagruk India was started by me. It is now that India is recognising influencer marketing and the industry is growing leaps and bounds. So, that’s how the idea evolved into a company dedicated to marketing and PR.
- WHY YOU WANTED TO BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR:
I have corporate experience working for Infosys, Nokia Siemens Networks, and other multinational companies in the past. Also, I am an advisor to several tech and non-tech startups based in the USA, Australia, China, and of course India. I have also been involved with numerous startups, and family businesses too. But, as I said, being an entrepreneur is the option that I enjoy the most.
- WHAT MOTIVATES YOU:
The feedback from the clients. We are thrilled that people love our services and take pride in the fact that almost every client is satisfied with our offerings.
- WHO IS YOUR INSPIRATION:
I can derive inspiration from any good thing going on around me, be it from a child or an old person.
- ACHIEVEMENTS TILL DATE:
Digital Golgappa is currently one of India’s most trusted and leading marketing and PR Agency, featured by Silicon India among the top 10 PR agencies of India, and by Startuphill and Semrush among the top innovative companies of Asia.
- CHALLENGES:
The main challenge for any company starting up is to build the trust of the new clients.
- AWARDS IF ANY:
I have won several Best Entrepreneur Awards and a few awsrds for my books too, including a world record.
- YOUR LIFE AS A STUDENT:
I am an alumnus of Seth Anand Ram Jaipuria School, the number 1 school of Uttar Pradesh. I did my engineering in Computer Science from PESIT (now PES University), Bangalore.
- YOUR FUTURE PLANS:
Surprise each person with the kind of offerings my companies can provide.
- ADVICE TO THE BUDDING Entrepreneurs WHO ARE GROWING IN THE INDUSTRY
Don’t follow any one. Role models are good for inspiration. Do something exclusive and unique. It might not give you immediate success, but being a doppelganger of others will not give you long term success.
