Branding Officer & Content Writer

When those same colleges & corporates that once rejected me now invite me as a guest speaker, I realize the power of perception-building.

Ever wondered how some people command attention the moment they enter a room—or a LinkedIn feed?
 
It's not luck. 

It's strategic personal branding.

Hi there! I'm Yogesh Agarwal, and I’m here to help you reimage your online presence —not to leave an impression but to build a legacy. 

Remember those IIMs and IITs that are considered the pinnacle of Indian education? 

Today, I train their students on LinkedIn mastery. 

Here's a plot twist: I come from a tier-3 city, lived the struggle of limited resources, self-taught, and initially self-doubting too.

But, you know what?

Your pincode doesn't determine your potential. 

Your personal brand does.

As the founder of Revamp Tribe, I've engineered a blueprint that has:

↳ Delivered 100+ talks at premier institutions
↳ Transformed 100+ high-profile personal brands
↳ 100+ Leader Endorsements and recommendations
↳ Helped generate 1000s of high-ticket leads for clients
↳ Helped clients feature in BBC News, TEDx, Your Story etc.

But here's the real question: Why should you care?

Because in 2025, your digital presence isn't just an extension of your personality—it is your entire personality. 

You're just one strategic personal brand away from: 
✓ Getting headhunted by dream companies 
✓ Building powerful thought leadership 
✓ Attracting high-ticket clients 
✓ Creating impact at scale
✓ Creating real wealth

An optimized LinkedIn profile isn’t all about perfect photos or carefully crafted posts. 

It's about making opportunities work in your favor, harder than your resume ever could.

At Revamp Tribe, we don’t merely  “work on profiles”—we design authentic digital experiences that speak to you at first glance! 

But there’s something that keeps me up at night - 

Watching brilliant professionals remain invisible simply because they haven't unlocked the power of their personal brand.

The choice is yours:

Continue being the best-kept secret in your industry OR
Become the go-to authority that people can't stop talking about.

The Revamp Tribe Promise: We'll either take your personal brand beyond your highest expectations, or you walk away with a complete refund. 

Zero questions. Zero hassle.

Ready to be seen, heard, and valued? 

This is how you can reach me:

📩 DM me on LinkedIn OR
📞 Book a Free Discovery Call OR
📧 Email me: yourcoach.yogesh@gmail.com

P.S. Still reading? That's the power of strategic personal branding. 

Imagine what it could do for you. Cheers!

Yogesh Agarwal 🇮🇳

Didn't 2025 pass pretty fast?

We have just 50 days left until 2026.

That's 1200 hours.

But suddenly, why am I discussing this? 

Well, we always build up resolutions at the start of the new year. But for the last 2 years, I have changed the way I do it. 

I take a head start 2 months earlier. 

The motivation should not be 1st day of January. 

Because every time we fail to do it, we eye another January.

But why?

50 days are still enough to change a lot of things.

You can get fitter.
You can get smarter.
You can get stronger.

What not?

So, let's pause for a moment and do this.

Use SKS Method:

S: Start Doing
K: Keep Doing
S: Stop Doing

And start working on it.

Step into 2026 with a newer and better version of yourself. 

Samjhe?

Let's comment out SKS in the comment for Social Accountability. 

P.S. I will go first.

S (Start Doing): More Outreach
K (Keep Doing): Content Posting
S (Stop Doing): Low Ticket Clients

Likes will not pay your bills, Leads Will • CEO @ Revamp Tribe™ • 2x TEDx Speaker • LinkedIn Expert • AI Trainer • Personal Branding Strategist • Social Media Marketing • 200+ Recommendations

My LinkedIn profile used to be noise.

"Founder | Helping Businesses Grow | Digital Marketing Expert"

Zero inbound leads.

Then I made it signal.

Now? 5x deals in my DMs every month.

Here's what changed:

𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘:
I stopped describing what I do.
Started describing what clients GET.

It says: Likes will not pay your bills, Leads Will • CEO @ Revamp Tribe™ • 2x TEDx Speaker • LinkedIn Expert • AI Trainer 

𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬:
I stopped writing my resume.
Started solving their problem.

My hook says: When those same colleges & corporations that once rejected me now invite me as a guest speaker, I realize the power of perception-building.

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘:
I stopped listing responsibilities.
Started telling transformation stories.

It says: We mostly wear a brand. I would rather say "Be a brand". How do you sell more? Simple, when someone trusts you more. That's possible when you have a strong personal brand.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗:
I stopped leaving it empty.
More of the Call to Actions.

It says: Let's check if we are a perfect fit. Book your Discovery Call Now!

Most people treat LinkedIn like a CV.

"Yeh meri degree hai. Yeh mera experience hai."

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

Your profile should answer ONE question:
"Can you solve my expensive problem?"

Not "Here's my qualifications."

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 = 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 + 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳
Noise = Everything else

Your next big opportunity is already scrolling LinkedIn.

But your profile looks like everyone else's.

Bheed mein kho gaye ho.

Be signal. Not noise.

When's the last time you updated your profile?

P.S. We (Revamp Tribe™) help top coaches, trainers, and funded founders build magnetic personal brands that attract premium clients. 

If you want to be the next one, feel free to book a call.

I got a legal notice from my client.

I have talked about that in this podcast.

This time hosted by Parul Sood on the Indian Startup Podcast.

And we didn't just talk LinkedIn.
We went everywhere.

We covered:
→ LinkedIn personal branding (obviously)
→ Discovery calls that actually convert
→ Major business trends coming up
→ A Legal Notice sent by my Client
→ Credit cards (yes, really)
→ And a lot more

Parul has been an absolute gem of a host.

She asked the questions most people are afraid to ask.

And I gave answers most people don't share publicly.

Here's the thing:
Most podcasts are surface-level.

Safe topics. Generic advice. Zero depth.
This one? Different.

We went deep.

Business strategy. Money moves. Client psychology.
Sab kuch khul ke baat ki.

If you've been following my content, this is the behind-the-scenes version.

The unfiltered thoughts.
The real strategies.

The stuff that doesn't fit in a LinkedIn post.

Check it out. Link in comments.

And let me know which part hit different for you.

Parul, thank you for being such a great host. 🙏

Let's do this again.

P.S. If you wish me to host on your podcast, you can DM me or send me an email. Cheers!

I remember visiting SIBM Pune.

Met Prof. Arjun Panchal.

We started talking about LinkedIn.

That's when he introduced me to Dr. Aravind Chinchure.

Multiple coffee meets followed.

Each one revealed a new layer of this man.

PhD in Physics. 28 research papers. Fellowships from Max Planck Institute and European Union.

But that wasn't the interesting part.

The interesting part?

He left science to redesign leadership itself.

Dr. Aravind doesn't fit in a box.

Guided billion-dollar boardrooms.
Authored "The New Age Organisation."
He's worked in R&D labs across India and Europe.
Designed India's first MBA in Innovation & Entrepreneurship.
Empowered 100,000+ people to lead in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Today? He coaches CEOs and mid-sized enterprises through transformation.
Real transformation. Not consulting jargon.

His clients see 40% YoY revenue growth.

But here's what struck me most:

His philosophy is simple.
"Transform the self. Then transform the system."

Pehle khud badlo. Phir duniya badlegi.
Most leadership coaches focus on strategy.

He focuses on the person first.
Because broken leaders can't build unbreakable organizations.

We signed up. Revamped his profile.

And now his story speaks for itself.

Profile #81 done.

Some profiles aren't just revamps.

They're legacies being rewritten.

81st LinkedIn Profile Revamp: Dr. Aravind Chinchure

Most clients say yes in one call.

She took 3 weeks.

And I'm not even mad about it.

Sonam Geda reads everything.

Every line. Every word. Every clause.

Makes sense though.

She's a trademark & legal consultant.
Her job is to catch what others miss.
So when she finally said yes?

I knew the result had to be perfect.

Post-revamp?
Opportunities started knocking.
Her inbox flooded with the RIGHT inquiries.

She's our 82nd revamp.

Meet Sonam Geda:
Principal Legal at Sonam Geda & Co. 9+ years protecting brands. 1000+ trademarks registered. 99%+ success rate. Featured in Dainik Bhaskar. Karamveer Awardee, 2024.

She helps startups go from:
Brand confusion → Legal clarity
Rejected IPs → Registered trademarks
Messy setups → Compliance-first businesses

Here's what I learned:
The best clients aren't the easiest.
They're the ones who challenge you.

Who ask the hard questions.
Who push you to deliver excellence.

Jo aasaani se haan nahi bolte, woh quality pe compromise bhi nahi karte.

Building a brand without protecting it?

That's like building a house without a foundation.

If you need someone who gets it RIGHT the first time?

Sonam's your person.

Profile #82 done.

Some clients test you.
The best ones make you better.

P.S. Revamp Tribe™ is hitting the 100th Revamp mark by 31st December. If you want to be the next, feel free to book an appointment with us.

82nd LinkedIn Profile Revamp: Sonam Geda

She stalked our work for months.

Then, finally said, "I need this."

Deepthi Hegde is our 83rd Profile Revamp.

Meet Deepthi. 

A Leadership Coach. 
Corporate Facilitator. 
Keynote Speaker.

16+ years in corporate leadership. 500+ hours of personalised coaching. She helps mid-career professionals break through the invisible ceiling.

Here's the problem she solves:
You send applications. Hear crickets.
You freeze in high-stakes conversations.
You're underpaid despite being overqualified.

Sound familiar?

You're not underqualified.
You're under-positioned.

Aap capable ho, bas dikhna seekhna hai.

Through her flagship program LEAP, she helps professionals:

Build executive presence.
Lead with confidence.
Speak with influence.

Craft a magnetic personal brand.

We revamped her profile.

Now it speaks directly to the people she's built to serve.

Profile #83 done.

Some clients research us for months before saying yes.

Those are always the best ones.

P.S. We are still on track and our 100th Profile Revamp shall be live before 31st December for sure. Cheers!

Likes will not pay your bills, Leads Will • CEO @ Revamp Tribe™ • 2x TEDx Speaker • Building Insiders Club™ • LinkedIn Expert • AI Trainer • Personal Branding Strategist • Social Media Marketing

83rd LinkedIn Profile Revamp: Deepthi Hegde

Mumbai today.

73rd Learners Camp.

I'm leading a session on LinkedIn Personal Branding.

Here's what's crazy:

This is the 73rd camp.

73 times they've brought professionals together to learn, grow, and level up.

And I get to be part of it.

Today we're talking about: Why your LinkedIn profile is leaving money on the table.

How to build a personal brand that attracts opportunities, not just connections.

And why most people are doing content completely wrong.

Mumbai ke log, milte hain!

You know what I love about these sessions?

It's not just about LinkedIn tips.

It's about shifting mindsets.

Realizing that YOU are the brand.

Not your company. Not your designation.
YOU.

Aapki kahani, aapki authority, aapki awaaz.

If you're in Mumbai and attending today, come say hi.

If you're not, drop a comment with your biggest LinkedIn struggle.

Let's fix it.

Session #73. Let's make it count

He put me on my first podcast.

Now I'm putting him on the map.

Profile #85: Yash Sanghavi
Brother from another mother.

Meet Yash:
Serial Entrepreneur. Investor. Builder. Founder of Yanisa – India's most execution-obsessed growth engine. 

He doesn't just help businesses grow. He builds revenue machines that run without the founder in the room. 

Systems, not stress. Automation, not exhaustion.

What he does:
Through Yanisa Execution, he deploys AI-powered CXO teams. They book leads. Automate ops. Build funnels. Scale revenue.

Through Yanisa Studios, he builds your digital twin. 3 hours of your voice = 30 days of content across LinkedIn, YouTube, and beyond.

His results?
Founders stuck at ₹1 Cr/month unlock 2x, 3x, even 4x growth.
Built a real estate pipeline worth ₹25 Cr on autopilot.
Scaled a B2B brand from ₹12L to ₹45L/month.
Not through hustle. Through systems.

We revamped his profile.

Now it speaks to founders who are done firefighting.

Profile #85 done.

Some revamps are business.

This one? Family.

P.S. 15 More to go by 31st December 2025. Let's launch an offer till the 100th Revamp. Let me know in the comments.

What can a 5 time World Chess Champion and a legend teach you about managing people?

Last week, I had this rare opportunity to be in the audience with the Legend Vishwanathan Anand. 

And since I had a front-row seat, Anand was sitting 2 ft away. And I remember shivering. The man who single-handedly brought down the Soviet/Russian dominance in Chess and turned India into a superpower was sitting next to me. 

He is a shy, introverted, and almost reluctant speaker. But the power of his presence and achievement is such that you listen. 

What did I learn?

1. It's your team
For a sport that seems 'individual', Anand spoke in 'team' mode. While I know a bit about Chess, the extent of it being a team sport was surprising. A lot of preparation goes into a game. 

2. Keep learning
What would a genius want to learn? Well, firstly, a Chess World Champion is not playing with us mere mortals. He is playing with other champions. And the game also keeps changing. So, keep learning.

Anand was clear that the game he plays today is vastly different from the game he started playing as a 6 yr old. The board is the same but the game is at another level. 
 
3. Humility - learn from youngsters
Anand was humility in action. Just the presence exuded a calm and serene outlook. Nothing was rushed. He told us how he assembled a world-class team twice in his career. The first time in 1998 Anand was the youngest in the group but the next time in 2007 he was the oldest. 

Computers had arrived big time by then, and the game had changed. Learning from youngsters is key. And today he is learning how esports streaming works. 

Chess is very predictable. No unknowns

But there was one more key lesson...

As I was sitting near Anand, the thing that amazed me was that he did not check his phone even once. He came, thanked the audience for the applause with a shy smile and a nod and took his seat. And sat exactly in the same position for the next half hour. No phone. No fidgeting. Just calm. 

And in that moment, I felt terribly ashamed. Anand surely has a busier life than any of us. And yet the calm he exuded was unreal. 

And to make it worse, the photographer has captured me on my phone and Anand sitting serenely. ☺ 

This one was special. I have never wanted to meet a movie star, really. I have met some but don't remember much, and can't recall what I learnt. The kind of people I want to meet are Anand, Leander, and Harsha. ☺ 

Have you ever been in a room with a legend and come back with lessons for life?

Thanks much to HROne and Pulkit Joshi for the invitation. It was an event I will never get over. 

Photos - Evidence. 😂  And that one photo of Anand and me in the same frame will remain with me.

You need to be in Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore if you want to make it big on LinkedIn. And you should be super fluent in English. SOBO style :)

Rubbish.

Shraddha Shrivastava proves this and many others wrong. 

She has built a strong following of over 100k and a business that just keeps growing. Shraddha helps clients create a presence on LinkedIn and then grow it. Most of this for B2B founders.

Shraddha has been building for 10 years. Quietly. 

Her company, Digital Height helps clients build a presence and use digital marketing to generate leads. 

We met on the LinkedIn India Creator Accelerator Program in 2022 and have stayed in touch since then. 

If you want to see a 'quiet' building, look no further. Coming from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh and with English not her first language, she has fought all odds and WON.

Much to learn from such friends.

And those who did not get what SOBO is, it is South Bombay. Now you get it? 😂

I started as average in almost everything. 

Education. Confidence. Conversations. Speaking. Relationships. Work. 

And more. But I am getting better. 

Thanks to a reading habit, pushing myself into conversations, and knowing that there is a lot to improve. 

And of these three, reading is the easiest. Start there. 

Reading helps you..

1. Build a world view beyond what you know

2. Helps you think, speak, and write better 

3. Often changes something inside you. Forever.

So do yourself a favour. Build a reading habit.

If you find it tough, start with 1 page a day. And build from there.

What am I reading these days? 

Ghaban by Munshi Premchand.

A forever classic. At par with the works of Dickens and Austen. 

What are you reading this week?

The attendance and participation certificate your kids are getting in school today, are setting them up for failure at work later.

Yes. Read that again.

Attendance and Participation in events is part of a child's job. Why give out a certificate. When these children grow up they expect a reward for just showing up or doing what is expected. 

And this has messed up the workplace big time.

We can't change how schools operate but can surely teach our children and temper their expectations.

Be that parent. 

And this holds true at work later. 

Be that manager.

Visible leadership is not about grand speeches. It is about small, daily actions your team actually sees.

You don’t earn respect by hiding behind dashboards and email threads. You earn it when your presence makes work easier for others.

You don’t need another leadership model if you

1. show up when the team is under pressure
2. take five minutes daily to check in, not check up
3. recognise good work without waiting for a formal review
4. roll up your sleeves during crunch time
5. respond even when you don’t have all the answers
6. explain the “why,” not just the “what”
7. give credit publicly and feedback privately
8. step in to remove obstacles, not create new ones
9. stay accessible, not aloof
10. keep your promises, especially the small ones.

Respect is not demanded. It is observed. Every single day.

Bonus 11th point - If you can't be with your team in their hour of grief, stay away in their joy and victory also. 

I call all of this Visible Leadership. 

What is the ONE visible leadership act that makes you follow your leader?

Life happens. And then we win. 

Be that person.

10 Management & Leadership I recommend a lot...

Most Mondays, I share a book post.  Today, I am sharing my Top 10 recommendations for management and leadership books. 

How did I get to the list?

Mostly, top-of-the-mind recall. The first list had over 25 books.

The shortlisting was based on impact, popularity, and longevity. Some fell off the list because they focused on a single topic, such as Marketing or Quality. 

Here is the list, then. No jargon. No motivational fluff. Just practical ideas we can use from Monday morning.

1. Execution – Larry Bossidy & Ram Charan
Still the most practical book on how leaders get things done.

2. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team – Patrick Lencioni
If you manage teams, this book will save you years of trial and error.

3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephen Covey
Old, yes. But the principles remain bulletproof.

4. The One Thing – Gary Keller & Jay Papasan
A simple reminder: focus is a superpower.

5. The 80/20 Principle – Richard Koch
Why a few actions create most results. A must-read for mid-career professionals.

6. Managerial Breakthrough – J. M. Juran
A masterclass in problem-solving, change, and driving real performance improvement.

7. Multipliers – Liz Wiseman
Leaders who expand people vs leaders who drain them. We’ve all seen both.

8. Radical Candor – Kim Scott
Clear, caring feedback. Hard to practice, but changes teams.

9. The Practice of Management – Peter Drucker
The original management handbook. Drucker saw the workplace decades before the rest of us.

10. Winning – Jack Welch
A brutally practical playbook on leadership, performance, and building strong teams.

You will notice a lot of popular leadership books are not on the list. Mostly because I focused on Business Leadership and not Individual Leadership. The only exception I made was for 7 Habits. Why? Because it is exceptional and timeless.

I kept my favourites - Grit and Mindset also out as they are more personal/individual leadership. 

These 10 books won’t magically make us “great leaders”. 

But they will give us better judgment, better habits, and better decisions. And that is what leadership really is.

Which one would you take off the list and replace with...?

+++
As I worked on the list, I was very aware of my limited qualification to judge these classics. Who am I to have this opinion?

But I love books and lists. So it was not tough as well. :)

Leadership is a gift. From your team. 

And you have to earn it daily. 

Be that manager.

Indra Nooyi + “Thank You” letters = Visible Leadership

During her time as CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi began a simple practice that became famous.

Every time she travelled to a country or reviewed a business unit, she wrote personal letters to the parents of her leadership team members, thanking them for raising exceptional professionals.

It took her time and effort. It was not part of any KPI.

But it was visible to the entire organisation.

People saw a leader who valued people, honoured families, and recognised contributions beyond the workplace.

That small, visible act created deep loyalty and transformed how people saw leadership at the top.

That's visible leadership for me.

Photo - Me with one of the quietest and visible leaders I have seen - Chris Drumgoole of DXC. I interviewed him during last year's World Quality Month celebrations.

Why do people use a much younger photo as their display picture on LinkedIn? 

Why?

Very proud of my friend and colleague Sumit Harwani. Such a powerhouse of HR knowledge and insights.

He was recently a panellist at the BW Businessworld HR Conclave and later spoke with Savi Khanna in a quick 2 min chat. 

This is one of those conversations where the summary is longer than the conversation. Here are some key points Sumit made.

1. Personalization and Learning Fatigue: 

The discussion highlighted how personalization is going to disrupt the ways of learning in future. A key focus within this shift is ensuring that learning becomes personalized while simultaneously avoiding the creation of learning fatigue for employees.

2. Shift to Skill-Based Taxonomy: 

A major HR trend anticipated for 2026 is the "workforce of the future". This trend involves organizations moving towards a skill-based taxonomy instead of the original role-based taxonomy.

3. Embedding AI in Skills: 

Organizations are heavily embedding a lot of AI in the mix of skills. It was noted that skills combined with AI and talent intelligence are expected to drive the future of the workforce.

4. Crucial Skill Requirements: 

To effectively balance global scalability with local talent, several skills are deemed necessary. Leadership skills are identified as being at the front and center of this mix. Additionally, change management has emerged as one of the most important drivers for the organisation, while technical skills remain essential for driving core delivery.

5. GCC Transformation Philosophy: 

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are transforming from initial support organizations or cost centers into innovation hubs. This transformation is supported by an enterprise, people, and ecosystem pillar-led philosophy, which requires the right leadership strategy, strong technical leadership, and the correct ecosystem of HR and talent processes.

Some deep insights.

I will share a link to the video in the comments. 

Where do you stand on this topic? How will AI disrupt Learning and Development?

Tag Sumit in your comments and he will share his views.

Communication is not what launches. It is what lands.

At work, we don’t get points for how much we say. We get judged by how much is understood.

You don’t need another communication workshop if you...

1. speak to impress, not to clarify
2. send long emails no one reads
3. don't check if your message landed
4. assume silence means agreement
5. communicate only when things go wrong
6. talk in jargon your team can’t decode
7. think speed matters more than clarity
8. never tailor your message to your audience
9. believe listening is optional
10. confuse broadcasting with communicating

Good communication is not about delivery. It’s about impact.

I started off as someone who did not listen well. Wanted to make my point quickly. It took some self-awareness and lot of reading and observation to figure out that my approach was not working. 

Now, I try.

I try to write crisper. Listen better. And talk in shorter sentences.

What’s one communication mistake you’ve seen the most at work?

🧱

Confidence is 90% of the game. 
Rest 10% is humility 😁
Play well.
