In a break to figure out the next move. Open for discussion 🤝

Hi, I’m Hari Kumaran — creator, builder of Bogar AI, and host of THUS.

From starting as a courier boy to helping teams build products and systems, my journey has always been about turning ideas into something real.

I build tools and platforms that make technology feel more human — and help people share what they know through meaningful stories.

☕ Always open for good conversations about building and creating.

You can polish your copy all day.
But people don’t buy words.

They buy proof.
They buy stories.
They buy outcomes.

You don’t need better copywriting.
You need real customer stories.

Everything else is noise.

I’ve learned this the hard way:

You don’t grow by talking more about yourself.
You grow when others do it for you.

Everything I’m building right now sits on that belief.
Soon you’ll see why.

Most people ask, “Which college did you study at?”

Very few ask, “How did you actually learn?”

This visual is from my recent podcast with Hameed Rahamathullah, a fully self-taught CTO with no school, no college, just pure curiosity and grit.

What stood out for me most wasn’t just the tech skill.

It was the loop:
Curiosity → Build → Break → Self-correct → Repeat.

And how his career dots connected in a way that looks messy on paper:
Sales → Call Center → MIS/Excel → Product → Founder/CTO
But in reality, every role compounded into leverage.

Two leadership takeaways I personally resonated with:

▶️ Leadership is not authority, it’s ownership of responsibility
▶️ High agency beats perfect planning

This is exactly why I love doing this podcast.
Not to glorify success — but to decode real, non-linear journeys.

If you’re building without a conventional background:
You’re not behind. You’re just on a different curve.

If this resonated — just drop a ❤️

You don’t fail at content because of ideas.
You fail because posting depends on your mood, energy, and calendar.

Miss one day.
Then another.
Then momentum is gone.

That exact pain is why I built a system to post even when I disappear.
Auto > effort. Always.

If you’ve cracked consistency, I’d love to learn how you do it.

Some journeys need planning.
Some just need you to show up consistently.

Most of us don’t struggle with writing 
We struggle with posting on LinkedIn or X at the right time, every time.
You forget.
You miss the slot.
You lose the momentum.

So I built something that removes that timing friction completely.
A simple Chrome extension.
Add your slots once → click the button → it auto-schedules your post to the next open slot.
Zero dashboards. Zero clutter.

Not launching it publicly yet, keeping it early access for now.

If you want to try it before everyone else,
comment “I’m in” and I’ll DM you the link.

Most people ask the wrong question about AI.

“Is AI a companion?”
“Will it replace us?”
“Is it intelligent enough?”

In the podcast, Leonard said something that stuck with me:

AI isn’t autonomous.
It doesn’t think for you.
It executes clarity.

If you can’t explain what you want,
how you want it,
and why it matters,
AI won’t magically save you.

AI rewards people who:
• Think clearly
• Give precise instructions
• Know the outcome they want

For everyone else, it feels overrated.

The gap isn’t AI capability.
It’s human clarity.

Curious to know:
Do you see AI more as a thinking partner or a powerful executor?

I am Ashkar Gomez, A Growth Marketer & an SEO expert. Besides this, I am an entrepreneur founded and building 7 Eagles, Ficodo.

With nearly 10+ years of experience in Growth marketing, SEO services, Performance Marketing, Content Marketing, LinkedIn Marketing, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, worked with 200+ clients globally.

On LinkedIn, I share my entrepreneurial stories, mindset, SEO tips and Strategy, marketing campaigns, growth marketing hacks and financial tips.

From a solo venture, 7 Eagles evolved into a team of 35+ visionpreneurs, excelling in Marketing & Technology.

With a team of 35+ people, we have built a revenue of $400K ARR in 2024.

But before I tell you more, here is a little backstory

Four years ago, I started my company, 7 Eagles as a side hustle, in an extremely small space.

At that time, the market didn’t have a separate agency that only focused on SEO services where it's just part of the digital marketing services.

That's what sparked my dream to build an agency solely dedicated to SEO services.

Until November 2020, I had no idea about hiring, but I continued my favorite part, which was training people in what I had learned.

That's when my students turned into my team.

Today, we provide world class services on Growth marketing for B2B SaaS & Tech Companies

This won't stop as a service base company, as we have started investing assets into building products

Perplexity AI just got voted "Most Likely to Fail" at a major SF investor summit.

And honestly? This might be the most honest thing investors have said all year.

Here's what happened: 

A company that raised $500M, hit unicorn status, and has millions of users got publicly declared a failure-in-waiting. 

Not because the product was bad. 
Not because the team was incompetent. 

But because investors looked at the unit economics and saw a fundamental problem nobody wanted to admit out loud.

The search market is brutal. 

Google spent 30 years building a moat that looks unbreakable. 

Perplexity came in with a better UX, actually answering questions instead of feeding you 10 blue links. 

But 

better product doesn't always win in markets where the incumbent can outspend you by billions. 

They burned cash to acquire users while Google basically prints money from search.

This is the trap every founder needs to understand: 

You can build something objectively better and still lose. 
Not because you failed. 
But because you didn't solve for the business model first.

Perplexity bet that AI would create a defensible search engine. 

They might be right eventually. 
But investors don't fund "eventually." 

They fund traction, unit economics, and a clear path to profitability. 

They were missing at least one of those when the summit happened.

The lesson isn't "Perplexity will fail."
The lesson is deeper: 

Most startups don't fail because they can't build. 
They fail because they can't build and make money at scale. 
They build beautiful products nobody can afford to run. 
They acquire users that don't generate revenue. 
They optimize for growth when they should optimize for unit economics.

The founders who win aren't the ones who build the coolest thing. 
They're the ones who build something good enough that also pays for itself. 

Sometimes that means slower growth. 
Sometimes that means a smaller market. 
Sometimes that means rethinking the entire approach.

Perplexity has time to fix this. 

They have capital, smart people, and real users. 
But every day counts when investors are already writing your obituary. 

The question isn't whether they built something interesting. 
It's whether they can build something profitable before the money runs out.

That's the real game.

You're getting traffic, but are you getting customers? 

Stop settling for random visitors from high-volume terms and start capturing the few who are ready to buy.

Keywords for SaaS

Most SaaS companies are doing content marketing completely wrong. ❌

Here's the mistakes I see every day and how to fix them.

Content Marketing

The search game has changed forever

With 77% of searches now ending in AI-generated answers, traditional SEO is becoming obsolete. Your competitors are already using these cutting-edge tools to dominate ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini results.

Don't let your brand disappear into the digital void while others capture YOUR audience.

💬 Which of these tools are you already using? 

Drop your thoughts and experiences in the comments below - let's discuss what's working (and what isn't) in the new AI search landscape!

Top Tools

The $1.8B story that proves product magic and word-of-mouth beat paid ads: How Lovable went from open-source to $100M ARR in 8 months.

Story of Lovable

Most AI tools today are fast, confident, and completely wrong.

That is why I was ready to ignore the Gemini 3.0 launch. I thought it was just another update in the hype cycle.

I was mistaken.

Google just flipped the script. They stopped trying to be the fastest and started trying to be the smartest.

Here is why this update actually changes your workflow:

1) It uses a Deep Think process Previous models just predicted the next word. This one pauses. It reasons through the logic, checks its own work, and then answers. It is like trading a fast intern for a slow, methodical expert.

2) It generates interfaces, not just text We are past the age of text boxes. If you ask for a travel itinerary or a project plan, it does not just write a list. It builds a custom, interactive visual layout for you on the spot.

3) Coding is now about the vibe They call it Vibe Coding. You do not need to know the syntax anymore. You describe the intention and the feeling of the app, and the AI manages the complex architecture.

We are finally moving from chatbots that summarize emails to agents that solve actual problems.

I am personally done with AI that hallucinates just to be quick. I am switching to models that take the time to be right.

Are you willing to wait a few extra seconds for an answer that is actually accurate?

Let me know in the comments.

I've audited 40+ SaaS companies' SEO. 

Here's what's actually killing your organic growth:

Mistake #1: Chasing vanity metrics You're ranking for "project management software" (12K searches, $0 value). Ignore it. 
↳ Rank for "project management software for remote agencies" (800 searches, 90% buyer intent).

Mistake #2: Content with no conversion path You write articles. People read them. Nothing happens. 
↳ Build a funnel: awareness content → mid-funnel → comparison guides → signup.

Mistake #3: Competing on unwinnable keywords You can't beat Asana for "project management." 
↳ But you can own "project management for 5-person agencies." Play a different game.

Mistake #4: Messy site architecture 120 blog posts in 30 categories with no linking strategy = Google gives up. 
↳ Organize by themes. Link strategically. Make it clear what matters.

Mistake #5: Zero link building Publishing great content with 0 backlinks loses to mediocre content with 50 backlinks. 
↳ Links are earned, not given. Build relationships. Get featured.

Mistake #6: Wrong search intent Ranking #2 for "how to manage remote teams" doesn't help if people are actually searching for tools, not tips. Match your content to what people actually want.

Mistake #7: SEO in a silo Your marketing team optimizes for keywords your sales team doesn't want. 
↳ Align sales, marketing, and product. Make it a team sport.

The Real Issue: 

Most SEO strategies fail because the strategy is wrong, not the execution.

Fix your strategy, and suddenly organic becomes your best acquisition channel.
