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

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.

Graduate Engineering Trainee

Transforming careers for Ph.D's, Eng’s & researchers | Scientist (Ex-GE) by default People's Engineer by Choice | Career Elevation Coach | Founder Dynamic Professionals Hub | Spoken @ IITs & corporates|

They asked me what I do for a living.

I said: “Some days I coach Ph.D.s out of imposter syndrome.
Some days I run training workshops that make engineering grads say, ‘Why weren’t we taught this earlier?’
And some days, I am on vacation yet helping someone from hotel room to negotiate a leadership offer with more confidence than they thought they had.”

So what do I do? I'm Rima, ( and some know me as Dr Rima - courtesy Ph.D ) once a scientist at General Electric, now a training consultant, career coach, and project manager of people’s turning points.
A Ph.D. in engineering sciences who traded lab coats for laptops, and technical fatigue studies for the emotional fatigue of brilliant minds stuck in the wrong roles.

Over the last 3 years, I’ve coached 100+ international STEM professionals, placed researchers in companies like AstraZeneca, Siemens, GE, Oracle, and built the Smart Dumb Club a community of scientists, scholars, and seekers who are done living invisible lives behind citations.

What makes me different? I don’t teach from textbooks.
I teach from trenches: being rejected, pivoting mid-career, writing grants worth $55,000, and still wondering if I belong, until I claimed the stage.

I don’t just help people find jobs.
I help them find their voice, redesign their self-concept, and become visible in rooms they never imagined being in.

I combine project management, business development, psychology, and communication to design transformative training programs used across IITs, XLRI, and colleges across India and Canada.

Whether I’m hosting a career panel for 2000+ Ph.D.s, creating a negotiation playbook, or building a course on Ikigai and Clarity using AI one thing stays the same:

💡 I believe your career should be a mirror, not a mask.
And I help you polish it until the reflection feels finally, fully like you.

Ready for your turning point?

3 things missing on Ph.D. resumes that actually get interviews and how to fix them with AI (and most importantly HI).

I’ve reviewed resumes from over 200+ Ph.D.s across 7+ countries, & Ph.D's working with me have landed interviews at Astrazeneca, Clarivate, Nokia, Seimens, Oracle, & Many more, so I can tell you this:

95% are missing the same 3 things and without them, the “no response” loop continues.

Let’s break it down:

1️⃣ Metrics.
Most Ph.D.s can calculate error margins to the 4th decimal but forget to add a single number on their resume.

Numbers = proof. Proof = credibility. 
(Want examples of what metrics to include? Check the comments, I’ve dropped a link there.)

2️⃣ Section headings.
“Academic Experience”? “Research Experience”? Meh.
Those are fine, but they don’t guide the reader. 

Customize headings to the role you’re targeting - Industry Projects, Strategic Collaborations, Innovation Leadership… these reframe how your work is seen. It has landed by clients multiple interviews.

3️⃣ Bullets that show impact.

Most bullets just list responsibilities. But hiring managers don’t want to read your job description they want to know what changed because you were there.

So how do you fix this without rewriting your resume 20 times? Simple !!

Here’s a prompt I wish more Ph.D.’s used with AI tools like ChatGPT:

“Hi, As a Ph.D. I will be applying for this job role [insert the job description], and here is my resume. Based on the job description, consider yourself the hiring manager for this role with 10 years of experience. Give me 3 resume bullets that don’t overlap, use metrics, show impact, and use varied action verbs in the format: Did X, using Y, accomplishing Z, that would make you call this candidate immediately.”

❌No, this won’t magically fix your resume. 
But it will give you a mirror a peek into what hiring managers actually look for.

Because resume is a persuasive tool built on psychology and empathy written from hiring managers/recruiters point of view, not yours.

And AI alone won’t solve that. You will.

That's why I always say: don’t forget to add HI to your AI. (HI = Human Intelligence 😊) 

screenshot this. Save it. Repost it🔁.
Because the next time you're stuck rewriting your resume, 
this is the prompt you will need.
 
You’ll thank me later - maybe not out loud, but definitely in your head. 😊

#rimadey #phdcareertransitions #smartdumbphd

P.S: Want to get your resume reviewed ?? My career clarity slots are open. Limited slots so, book yours through the link.

When a Ph.D. tells me one of my free resources helped them get started on their career transition journey --yaaaayyyyyy that makes my made.
 
Because I do get Dm's - but Dm's about how my content is specifically helpful is not that frequent. 

So if you are a Ph.D getting started this this carousel might be your nudge.

 with 10 roles across industries hiring Ph.D.s 

And if you're thinking, “But it’s not that simple…”
 You’re right it isn’t for many of you!!

Because getting hired isn’t just about having the Technical skills.
It’s about learning to speak the language that hiring managers & recruiters understand easily.

And That’s where I come in.
 I have helped & helping Ph.D.' in life sciences, nano-materials, AI, neuroscience, chemistry, and even astrophysics from 7+ countries make the switch.

A once Scientist in corporate & a Ph.D myself.. I was dumb enough to quit academia & smart enough to have survived two career transitions :).

Hence I now call myself a smart dumb Ph.D.

And if you need 1 on 1 help in your. journey along with a community, then my career clarity calls are open. Link in comments.

11 Job roles for Ph.D's & A Prompt to get started

One of my clients in Europe wants to land a role in a FANG company.
 
The skills are there. The record is there.
But the belief that they belong in those companies was low.

This is where I begin with the RRAPID system.
 With the first R: Rewire.
 Because no amount of strategy works when the belief system keeps saying,
 “Not me. Not at that level.”
So we started small. Found out One decision maker.
 Wrote one thoughtful cold email.
 Despite no job opening, no referral, but just the right intent of adding value.

They heard back in a day. 
This was the first cold email they ever wrote for their job search.

Most Ph.D.s think people in FANG roles sit behind walls that only a perfect resume can cross. But cold email done right reaches rooms your resume can’t.

That one reply, I know has changed how my client sees their own path.
 They now know these roles are not “for others”.
 They are within reach. This is the work inside Smart Dumb club.
 
To be smart enough to act.
And dumb enough to question the old story you keep telling yourself

#rimadey #phdcareertransitions #smartdumbphd
P.S. Cold emails only work when they are written with intent.
 The generic ones never get a reply.

P.P.S. My cold email methods come from years of studying how people think and decide. I used the same skills to land interviews and offers that were never meant for me on paper. I now teach the same inside RRAPID.

Hey this is Rima, a scientist turned Ph.D career coach, helping Ph.D from 7+ countries land roles in pharma, tech & consultancy, & my starting point of career trasition was not resume or linkedin, but belief that I can do it :). it was hard but worth it.

One of my closest friends, a Ph.D. with stellar publications and a strong reputation in his field , works in one of the top manufacturing companies.

He’s in a senior role, solving complex problems that excite him every day.

However, since his Ph.D. days, his long-term dream was always to teach.
Despite his credentials, he’s struggled for years to land a role in a premier academic institute.

Why am I sharing this?
 Because your career choices as a Ph.D. can’t be made in a vacuum.

👉 Academia or industry - neither is “better” or “worse.”

But choices need to be made with demand in mind, not just passion.

If academia is where your heart lies, understand the supply–demand imbalance: too many qualified Ph.D.s, too few seats.

And if that path isn’t opening doors no matter how niche or brilliant your research it may be time to look where the market does have room. That’s often industry.

Here’s a decision matrix I built to help you compare the two & I want to acknowledge that this may be a very simplified version but it will give clarity when getting started.

I’m not here to glorify industry or dismiss academia.

But the market doesn’t bend to your passion. It bends to demand.

And in the current state of affairs, industry is often the stronger bet — both in opportunity and financial stability. 

Thats something I have seen to be true with most Ph.D's I am working with who transitioned into tech Pharma & Consulting.

Ignoring that truth can cost you your career.
So… what’s your opinion of this table?

P.S. Without industry experience, your opinion on this table is, at best, partial. And I’ll take it with a pinch of salt.

P.P.S My Career clarity calls are now open starting next week, apply to book your slot. Only 8 slots available.

It is super heart warming to see when Ph.D"s in India are taking the initiative to extend the impact of their Ph.D in real world through their starts ups.
Kusumika Sinha Roy best wishes. 

If you are from biotechnology bioinformatics or related field, please reach out & share it anyone you know, needs this opportunity.

Hiring an intern to join me on an exciting research project this December!
We are an early-stage, grant-funded startup incubated at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore. I am looking for someone with prior experience in molecular docking or molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
Students pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, or related fields are encouraged to apply.

The most harmful belief Ph.D.’s inherit from academia that keeps them stuck and here’s what replaces it👇

Many Ph.D.’s that I work with carry this belief that for a career transition they have to know everything in great depth and detail.

Listen, academia teaches you to explore depth of knowledge, and
honestly that is super valuable. 
However everything has an upside & downside too.

So when you are deep into something, for a good 4-5 years –
you also become prone to the downside of doing it for that long.

And that is you believe in researching a lot, before acting on it.
Science has a term for it named as enantiodromia, where the exact opposite happens.

Like in your career transition - You believe that collecting more information & doing more research will help you figure out things – but you are in a constant loop of collecting free resources, free advises but that is never executed or yielding results.

I did hear this from one of my client who told me “ I was drowning in information and had no clue how to act on it “

And so this is where you need to understand, researching is a precious skill,
but research without implementation is a wasted one.

You need to move from less research → to → more execution.

This is exactly what one of my clients did to land her industry job in telecom sector.

However it wasn’t straight forward at the outset. 

She had to understand what were her foundational skills (FS) & what were her Minimum Viable skills (MVS).
She worked with petabytes of data, & radio transmission which were the foundational skills required for the role of data scientist in telecom sector.

And we then worked on the MVS to build on top of the FS - which are skills that are an absolute requirement for the job she was pivoting into – in her case it was Power BI & SQL.

Now she didn’t need to know every use case of Power BI & SQL, but built something relevant for the role – validating further you don’t need to know everything in  great depth & details as you did in your Ph.D.

And that is your super power as a Ph.D. to quickly  learn things because you have the foundations for many skills.

So this Monday ask yourself, What are the Foundational skills required for the job I want to pivot into ?

Do I have it ?  If yes, what are the MVS required for the same & how can I build it at the earliest ?

And I repeat – you don’t need to know everything in great depth & details for you career transition.

You just have to act & move fast with what you know.
That’s your Monday reminder :).

4 Ph.D.s. 4 domains. 4 different transition outcomes.
 
But one question kept coming up in every coaching call:
“Should I make a work sample or portfolio for my industry transition?”

Let’s decode this using real data from my community.

Here’s what actually happened 👇

1. The AI Scientist
 He built a portfolio, and it helped him land initial interviews for leadership roles.
 Those interviews didn’t convert into offers.
 He eventually moved into fintech through the larger job search process, not because of the portfolio itself.

2. The Computational Biologist
 She built a portfolio too.
 But for her job search, the portfolio didn’t play any meaningful role.
 She landed a consultancy role that required a case study, and later moved into pharma.
 
3. The Network Engineer
 Her portfolio genuinely helped in the interview.
 We used it to show how her Ph.D. work connected to the company’s goals.
 That clarity strengthened her conversations and made her positioning much   sharper.

4. The Astrophysicist
 Her work sample played a central role in getting the offer.
 And the company later featured her work sample publicly on their pages.
 This was one of those rare cases where the work sample wasn’t just useful — it became a highlight of her onboarding.

So… do portfolios work?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes not at all.

It depends entirely on the role, domain, and hiring process.

But here’s what stood out across every case:

Nobody regretted making a portfolio.
Even when the portfolio wasn’t used in hiring, the act of creating it helped them:

 • understand their work better
 • articulate impact more clearly
 • connect their research to business needs
 • interview with stronger confidence

And for most Ph.D.s, that clarity alone changes the game.

So here’s the real question:

If creating a portfolio gives you clarity, confidence, and sharper interview answers… is it still a wasted effort?
Tell me below , Would you create one for your transition?
