About US

From a Child age, I was deeply interested in business. However, life presented me with significant challenges. At the age of 11, I lost both my father and sister in a short span of time. The grief and responsibility that followed made it difficult to dream big, but a deep desire to create something meaningful always lingered within me.

I completed my higher and secondary education at G.S.S.S. Lanoud in Kandral. During that time, Vodafone’s Zoo Zoo advertisements on TV captured my imagination and sparked an interest in animation. In March 2014, I began searching for colleges, hoping to turn this newfound interest into a career. By June 2014, I had enrolled in an animation course at PAI College of Veda in Pune. Moving from Kandral, a small village, to the bustling city of Pune for education was one of the biggest challenges I had ever faced.

I remember vividly the day I left for Pune for the first time. I had no idea where the college was or how to navigate the city. With just 5,000 rupees in my pocket, I set off alone, leaving behind a family already struggling with my grandmother’s health issues. As I looked at myself in this new environment, I was speechless. The weight of leaving home, compounded by my family’s hardships, made those early days in Pune incredibly tough. I was on my own, in a big city, facing the unknown.

Despite these challenges, I was determined to succeed. I believed that a career in animation could lead to financial success, but the reality of the course was different from what I had envisioned. In the first year, I discovered that drawing was a fundamental part of the course, and I quickly realized how unprepared I was. My attempts at drawing were rough—I struggled with basic concepts like drawing a simple circle or a straight line. Animation requires a strong foundation in sketching and anatomy, and I felt out of place as I watched my classmates create detailed sketches while I was still grappling with the basics.

It was during this difficult time that I received the best advice of my life from my drawing teacher, Ratan Gaikward. In September 2014, on the occasion of Teacher’s Day, someone asked him who his favorite student was. To my shock, he named me—Gopal. I was stunned because I knew how much I struggled with drawing, and yet here was my teacher, calling me his favorite student. His words have stayed with me ever since. He said, “I see the zeal inside Gopal’s heart. If he follows it, he will become one of the best people in life.”

At that time, I didn’t fully understand what he meant, but seeing the belief he had in me gave me hope. It made me realize that he saw something unique in me, something I hadn’t yet discovered myself. His encouragement gave me the strength to keep going, even when I felt like giving up.

It was a difficult journey, filled with doubts and obstacles, but I persevered. I pushed through the hardships, and in 2017, I proudly completed my animation course at PAI College in Pune.

After returning home, I found myself at a crossroads, filled with uncertainty. Unsure of my next steps, I chose to become a computer teacher at my former school, beginning in September 2017. While I enjoyed teaching, I couldn’t ignore my growing curiosity about digital marketing. I completed a course in the field and joined Hemworld Advertiser as an SEO expert in July 2018. Unfortunately, my health took a turn, and after just four months, I had to return home to recover.

In April 2019, I joined Marcomm Essentials as a Digital Marketing Expert, where I had the opportunity to serve over 100 clients across various industries. This experience deepened my understanding of digital marketing, but it also reignited my ambition. In July 2021, I left the organization and joined SlideTeam in September 2021 as an SEO expert, where I gained invaluable insights into different aspects of SEO.

In August 2022, I decided to pursue a role at Amazon as a Marketing Manager. The ambition was immense—I began reading Philip Kotler’s “Marketing Management” and studying Amazon’s 16 Leadership Principles. These principles resonated with me deeply, and I worked hard to implement them in my daily life. From March 2023 onwards, I dedicated myself to preparing for the interview, feeling more driven than ever.

However, balancing my job and interview preparation proved challenging. By December 4, 2023, I made the difficult decision to leave my current organization to focus entirely on the Amazon interview. I meticulously prepared all the necessary documents, applied through Amazon’s website and LinkedIn, and even reached out to HRs directly. Despite my best efforts, the process extended until May 2024 without success. Making Marketing Manager at Amazon was one goal, but not knowing why your resume is rejected from the server is one of the disadvantages of Amazon. At that point, I felt like I had lost everything. I had several offers in hand over the past year, but I turned them down, confident in my pursuit of Amazon. When it didn’t work out, I was speechless—I felt like I had lost everywhere.

I remember the nights I spent staring at the ceiling, questioning my decisions, wondering if I had made a terrible mistake. The feeling of rejection weighed heavily on my heart. Yet, even in that darkness, there was a glimmer of light. Learning Amazon’s 16 principles had transformed me, not just professionally but personally. I realized that those principles had made me a better person, teaching me resilience, humility, and the importance of continuous growth.

At this point, I decided to explore other SEO job opportunities, but many companies either didn’t respond or offered lower salaries. In June 2024, I made the final decision to change my path and create my own space. I joined a company as a co-founder of Focusedity, a marketing company in Gurugram.

Stepping into this new role was both terrifying and exhilarating. I didn’t know where this path would lead, but I was determined to make it my own. I had learned that loss and win are just parts of life. But to learn from those situations is one of the best parts of life. I had faced my fears, embraced the unknown, and was ready to build something beautiful from it.

I may not know where life will take me, but I am proud to have stepped out of my comfort zone and started building my own path. This journey is just the beginning of my story.
