Founder | Creator | Strategist | Building AI, Leaders, & Ideas That Move Markets

For sponsorships + booking + speaking: hello@cred.marketing
------
I build AI, leaders, products, and ideas that move markets.

As a founder, creator, and strategist, I’ve taken products from concept to market, scaled sales engines, built teams, and created campaigns that drive both revenue and cultural relevance. Deeply integrating AI in every step of the way. 

My experience spans SaaS, AI, B2B, and beyond, working alongside the companies and executives shaping tomorrow’s most important industries. (Would love to work with yours!)

I operate where innovation meets execution. 
Blending the reach of a creator, the precision of a strategist, and the perspective of an AI founder who has built and scaled from the ground up. 

The result: content, campaigns, AI, and go-to-market strategies that cut through the noise and position brands at the forefront of their markets.

Founder

Attended a dinner with top SF founders and VCs.
What top teams are actually betting on for AI in 2026:
(reframed my entire AI roadmap.)

I asked everyone one question:
“One word to describe AI in 2026.”

The answers were telling:
Unpredictable. Essential. Explosive. Pervasive. Vertical agents!

When you zoom out, a few patterns become very clear.

Here’s what actually matters for 2026:

1. AI becomes invisible, but unavoidable
Winning tools aren’t all about the AI AI AI.
AI will just be baked into workflows, decisions, and daily work.

2. Most teams are still using AI wrong
Oh so many teams had shallow AI applications.
And leaned in hard for the branding and buzz words.
Real gains come from deeply integrated systems that compound.

3. Vertical > generic
Vertical agents only win when paired with real domain expertise.
Otherwise, it’s just thin wrappers.
2026 is for AI depth and real applications.

4. Enhancement beats replacement
The strongest founders weren’t chasing “AI replaces X.”
They’re building for human amplification:
better judgment, faster execution, fewer bottlenecks.

5. Humanness becomes a differentiator
As AI gets more powerful, taste, trust, narrative, and leadership are everything!!

If you’re planning for 2026, these are the words I’d build a roadmap around.

Huge thank you to Emma Greenwald, Mahir Kumar Singh, Ricky Marton and the whole HubSpot For Startups team for such an incredibly curated, high-signal room!

everyone is asking how to win on LinkedIn in 2026.
don’t copy the wrong playbook.
copy mine here:

we’re entering the era of AI-generated sameness.
and that’s exactly why founders who sound the most human will stand out.

(thanks Audrey Chia for the great question here!!)

if your content could have been written by a model, it won’t win.
your unfair advantage is your unique, human, point of view.

background. 
lived experience. 
actual opinions from building.

so treat your LinkedIn like a media company.
don’t copy trends, but deliberately do the opposite.

you don’t even need a traditional tech background to do this.
teachers, nurses, operators, founders from any industry all have a lane.

all you have to do is find yours.

be deeply personal. 
unmistakably you.
and build media around that.

that’s how you stand out when everyone else sounds the same.

most founders say they’re “data-driven”.

so why are they still avoiding the hardest decisions?

i teamed up with Alyona Mysko to share with you our top tips for making data work for you, not the other way around. 

ultimately, the problem isn’t lack of data.
it’s lack of decision systems.

data only works when:
1. you know what decision you’re trying to make
2. you’ve set limits before emotions get involved

otherwise it’s just expensive noise.

swipe to see the full breakdown!

Top 2 Tips For Turning Data Into Decisions As a Founder

Come with me for a day in the life!
Building at the center of the B2B creator economy.
(And a sneak peek of what’s next.)

1. Morning at the SF LinkedIn offices.
Unpacking what’s actually coming in 2026!

2. Back-to-back convos with teams building next gen B2B tools.
So fun to hear top insights driving 2026 roadmaps.

3. Burmese lunch between meetings 
(highly underrated, btw)

4. Filming new content, stay tuned!

5. Waymo rides across the city.
Filmed before this week’s Waymo shutdown, lol

6. Closed the day at an invite-only HubSpot for Startups dinner.
Packed with awesome SF founders and operators.

7. And of course, getting to hang w/ the one and only @Katie Wrathall

A few signals I keep hearing from leaders across LinkedIn, HubSpot, and top B2B builders:

- B2B creator economy is shifting from “influencer” to infrastructure
 Content isn’t the output anymore.
Distribution, trust, and repeatable systems are.

- Founder-led media is becoming a core GTM channel.
 Especially on LinkedIn, where credibility compounds.

- 2026 is about depth over volume
Winners go all in on what’s working.

- Lines between product, marketing, and media are collapsing
 The best teams (and creators) are building all 3 together.

Days like this remind me why I’m bullish on where B2B creators are heading next.
And why I’m investing more into behind-the-scenes access, IRL convo, and building in public.

More to come soon in 2026!!
Happy Holidays to you all!

the upgrade you need to your 2026 cold email plans:

(how to basically print meetings!!)

most cold email campaigns fail because emails never land in the inbox.

so i really had to rethink my process here for sending emails.

i switched to Maildoso and my reply rates jumped almost immediately.

here’s why it works:
1. mailboxes are built for deliverability, not just sending. 
2. 98%+ of emails land in the primary inbox (even to outlook)
3. self-healing mailboxes rotate + replace burned addresses automatically, so campaigns never stop.

they also just rolled out Google Workspace accounts. 
so you can get high-deliverability SMTP mailboxes + fully legit workspace inboxes directly inside Maildoso!
(+ they’re priced lower than anything else out there)

plus setup is effortless (no dread!!) 
hundreds of mailboxes ready in mins, domains included, no manual config needed.

and somehow the cost is 50% cheaper than gmail/outlook mailboxes??

if your outbound campaigns feel stuck, this is the playbook you need to hack reply rates at scale.

STOP and do this one thing right now:

(before you adopt any more AI tools)

everyone wants to jump straight to AI.
they buy the latest tools and start running experiments.

but the truth is, AI can only be as good as the data it sees.
without a 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, you get conflicting outputs, misaligned decisions, and wasted time.

a single source of truth is:

 • one place where all data is accurate and up-to-date
 • standardized definitions across teams
 • clear ownership of information

why it matters:

 • AI trained on messy or duplicated data produces unreliable answers
 • teams spend more time cleaning output than using it
 • decisions made from inconsistent data hurt credibility and speed

think of it as the less exciting, but critical, bottleneck to plan for.
(before you start automating or scaling with AI)

the companies who do this first, build reliable workflows and get lasting leverage from AI.

why “AI will replace jobs” is the wrong frame

(+ the reframe that will completely transform your workflows)

everyone keeps asking which jobs AI will replace.
but that’s the wrong question.
AI doesn’t replace 𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴, it replaces 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴.

every role is a bundle of tasks.
(some routine, some creative, some relational) and AI picks off the routine ones first.

example:
a marketer might spend time writing briefs, analyzing campaigns, pitching ideas.
AI can handle the briefs and analysis.
but the pitching? still so human!!

the better question is:
which tasks in my job are predictable enough for AI to do consistently well?
because that’s where the shift starts.

the future isn’t “AI vs humans”
it’s “humans who redesign their job around AI” vs those who don’t.

I came across an app that charged $249/month.

It looked impressive.
Promised to automate a big part of my workflow.

But I paused.

Not because of the price
because I wasn’t sure how much real value it would add to my business.

So instead of subscribing, I tried something else.

I opened Replit and described the exact workflow I wanted automated 
the way I actually work, not a generic version.

What started as an experiment turned into a fully working app.
It automated the tasks I was spending hours on.
Connected the tools I already use.
And evolved as my needs changed.

Now that $249/month app?
I don’t need it.

Because my entire workflow runs on something I built myself 
shaped around my business, not someone else’s.

The biggest shift wasn’t saving money.
It was realising how much power you unlock
when you stop adapting to tools
and start building tools that adapt to you.

You don’t need years of experience.

AI helps you get more done in less time.

Real problems pay real money.

Put these together and $10,000/month stops being a dream.
It becomes a plan.

I almost turned the page.
Then this stopped me.

Front page. Two photos.
No captions. No instructions.

You look. You compare.
You decide.

What stood out wasn’t just the images, but the confidence behind the move.
REDMI Note 15 choosing a blind comparison, even after launch, when specs and prices are already known.

No noise. No forcing opinions.
Just letting the camera speak.

If details matter to you, this is your camera.
No shortcuts. Just 108 million pixels mastering your moments.

Blind test photos on print? This is such a cool way to launch a smartphone.

I didn’t plan to start my day with goosebumps 
But today’s newspaper changed everything…

Today I woke up, saw the newspaper and the first thing I saw was this:
It’s Rajinikanth’s 75th birthday.

And yes, I knew it was his birthday.
I was expecting tributes…
But I definitely wasn’t expecting something this massive, this heartfelt, this historic.

A full-page celebration that felt bigger than news it felt like a national moment.

And suddenly, I was 10 years old again… 
Watching my family turn every Rajini release into a full-blown celebration.
Back then, I didn’t know why it felt magical today I finally do.
Some people entertain us.
Some people define the whole ERA!

Rajinikanth didn’t just create movies.
He created a national emotion.

And today?
OTTplay literally declared 12/12 as Rajinikanth Day.

This wasn’t marketing.
This was fandom → culture → legacy happening in front of us.

I grew up watching Rajini turn screens into celebrations.
So seeing a tech-driven platform honour him like this?
This hit really different.

Because cinema isn’t just what we watch
it’s what we carry.

And Rajinikanth?
He’s the rare phenomenon who still unites generations with one name.

Beautiful initiative. Perfect tribute to legend.
Happy #RajinikanthDay.

I still remember one Secret Santa where I spent more time guessing the giver than enjoying the gift.

I replayed every conversation from the past week.
Over analysed random smiles.
Even connected dots that didn’t exist.

A simple gift turned into a full investigation.

That’s exactly why this film felt so real to me.

It captures what actually happens in Indian workplaces during Secret Santa.
On the outside, it looks warm and festive.
Inside, it’s chaos, curiosity, and silent theories.

Everyone becomes a detective.
Every guess feels logical until it isn’t.

What I loved most is how naturally the product fits into the story.

Just part of the narrative.

Because the truth is simple:
Secret Santa is never about the gift.
It’s about the investigation that follows.

And that’s what makes it fun.

The next wave of AI isn’t about building tools.
It’s about building tools that work for you.

Most ideas die for one reason.

They wait.

They wait for the right time.
They wait for the right skills.
They wait for permission.

That’s why I changed how I start.

Instead of planning for weeks,
I explain the idea in simple words.

No setup.
No overthinking.

While building this way on Replit, something clicked.

The idea didn’t need perfection.
It needed momentum.

From thought → structure.
From “someday” → something usable.

Here’s the truth most people miss:

You don’t need to be technical to build.
You need a way to start.

When you can build from anywhere, even your phone…
When your ideas connect to tools you already use…
When AI is ready without friction…

Waiting disappears.

Most people don’t fail.
They just never begin.

I just built a real app inside ChatGPT 🤯

No setup.
No switching tabs.
No long back-and-forth.

I literally described what I wanted…
and the app came to life.

Here’s what stood out 👇

• Started directly in ChatGPT
• Typed Replit 
• Explained my idea in plain language
• A live app preview appeared instantly
• Made changes just by sending more messages

Layout tweaks? Done.
Extra pages? Done.
Copy and colours? Done.

All without leaving the chat.

This feels like a shift in how apps get built.
Ideas → conversations → real apps.

If you’ve ever thought,
“Someone should build this…”

You can build it yourself now.

🔗 Try it here: https://lnkd.in/gn3SR3gn

🎁 You’ll get $10 in Replit credits when you upgrade (and I do too).

Describe it.
Iterate on it.

Today, I was travelling in the Mumbai Aqualine Metro, just another regular commute.

I was  on a video call with a friend and it ended very soon.

Then I noticed a person sitting right next to me was struggling to get a call through.

Underground metro.
No network on his phone.

He asked if he could use my Wi-Fi hotspot for a quick call as in Aqualine only Vodafone Idea Limited works.

I shared it.
His call went through.

By the time we reached the next station, we were talking about work, startups, and ideas and ended up exchanging numbers.

That moment stayed with me.

Mumbai moves 8+ million people every day.
Metro Line 3 will serve hundreds of thousands of commuters daily.

In a city where connections turn into opportunities in minutes, connectivity can’t afford blind spots.

That’s why Vi deploying 4G across the underground Mumbai Metro Line 3 matters more than it sounds.

Because infrastructure today isn’t just about moving people faster, it’s about enabling conversations, opportunities, and unexpected connections… even below ground. 

Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation

P.S. The founder texted me later saying he has now ported his primary SIM to Vi.
