From Kochi to the Gulf — and back
Between 2011 and 2015 I led SEO and SEM teams at TechWyse in Kochi, directly managing 24 people and the search performance of 140 websites across Canada, the US and the UK. That job taught me two things Kerala businesses still benefit from today: how to deliver to international standards, and how to do it without international budgets.
Since then I've built the Gulf side of the story — tripling conversion rates for a Dubai travel brand, directing award-winning campaigns for DAMAC and Meraas, and now leading digital media at Ooredoo Group in Doha. When I work with a Kochi retailer or a Trivandrum ed-tech, they get the same discipline I apply to multi-million dollar GCC budgets — scaled honestly to their size.
Sound familiar?
- You're paying for clicks, but there's no conversion tracking — so every decision is a guess.
- Your growing business needs the two or three channels that work, not a bloated agency retainer.
- You sell to the Malayali diaspora in the Gulf and need someone who knows both ends of that corridor.
- You want senior, honest guidance on WhatsApp — not another sales pitch.
If two or more of these hit home, that's exactly what I fix — message me on WhatsApp.
What I do for Kerala businesses
- Performance campaigns — Google and Meta campaigns built to a cost-per-lead or ROAS target, in a market where careful ₹50,000 beats careless ₹5 lakh.
- SEO with substance — the discipline I started in: technical foundations, content that answers real searches, and rankings that survive algorithm updates.
- Gulf-corridor marketing — Kerala brands selling to the Malayali diaspora in the GCC (jewellery, real estate, education, remittance-adjacent services). I know this corridor from both ends, professionally and personally.
- Analytics & tracking — GA4 and conversion tracking set up properly, so decisions run on data rather than opinions.
- Marketing mentoring — for founders or in-house juniors who need a senior sounding board a WhatsApp message away.

Chat on WhatsAppHow an engagement works
Every engagement starts with an audit of your tracking and current campaigns — in Kerala this step matters even more, because I regularly find businesses paying for clicks with no conversion tracking at all. Then we rebuild around the 3E Framework and settle into a monthly loop of optimisation and plain-language reporting.
The Kerala digital market, briefly
Kerala is one of India's most digitally literate consumer markets — near-universal smartphone use, high social media engagement, and a consumer who researches thoroughly before buying. It's also a value-conscious market where trust and word of mouth still close the sale. The winning formula I apply here: performance campaigns to generate demand, retargeting and WhatsApp funnels to nurture it, and honest measurement so every rupee is accountable. And for brands selling to the Gulf Malayali — one of the most valuable diaspora audiences anywhere — I plan from first-hand knowledge of both sides of that corridor.
Questions Kerala clients ask
Do you work with small businesses and startups?
Yes — Kerala engagements are leaner by design: sensible budgets, the two or three channels that will actually move your business, and no enterprise bloat.
You work in the Gulf — why serve Kochi clients?
Because my career started there, and Kerala is home. Bringing Gulf-grade performance marketing back to Kerala businesses matters to me personally.
Which industries do you serve in Kerala?
E-commerce, education, healthcare, real estate, tourism — and especially Kerala brands marketing to the Malayali diaspora in the GCC.
How do engagements work practically?
Remotely over WhatsApp and video calls with clear monthly reporting. I visit Kerala regularly, so periodic in-person reviews in Kochi are possible for ongoing clients.
