A Story Rooted in Humility and Grit

Hitesh’s early life was marked not by privilege, but by determination and aspiration. Coming from a humble background, he faced financial constraints from the very start—so much so that when it came time to pursue his MBA, he struggled to fund his own education. Yet, driven by a desire to create a better future, Hitesh refused to be defined by his circumstances. He worked tirelessly to support himself, determined to seize every opportunity education could offer.

Hitesh began his career in the finance industry, starting off in sales and quickly moving into customer service and operations roles. It was during these formative years that he honed his understanding of the business world, learning the value of hard work, adaptability, and authentic connection. But Hitesh’s curiosity was insatiable—he found himself drawn to the world of marketing, where strategy and creativity intersect.

He went on to work with leading firms like Genesis Burson-Marsteller, Rediffusion Y&R, and the iconic Ogilvy. Here, Hitesh played a pivotal role in launching some of the most recognizable brands in the country, including Twitter, Bandhan Bank, Future Generali Life Insurance, and Cricket World Cup T20. With each new challenge, he built a reputation for innovative thinking and an unwavering commitment to results.

Reinventing Himself in the Age of Technology

While marketing gave him a strong platform, Hitesh’s hunger for growth led him to explore the world of technology. At a time when most would settle into their careers, he took a bold leap—teaching himself machine learning, generative AI, and the intricacies of large language models. The transition was not easy; it required resilience, late nights of self-study, and the courage to venture into uncharted territory.

But Hitesh’s risk paid off. His unique blend of business acumen, communication skills, and technological expertise soon set him apart. Today, he stands at the intersection of technology and transformation, empowering organizations such as Reliance, Adani, Siemens, HP, and HDFC Bank to harness the power of Generative AI.
