Talks from inside the machine.
Most AI-marketing talks are given by analysts describing the future. I run a full marketing function alone with AI systems, built the platform that automates it, and spent a decade doing the manual version at ByteDance, Mahindra Finance, and Foundit. I talk about what I operate.
Topics
01
The One-Person Marketing Team
How one operator with AI systems does the work of a full marketing team — the architecture, the real costs, and the receipts. The talk version of the playbook I run my own function on.
02
AI Marketing Transformation (for enterprises)
Why most AI-in-marketing initiatives stall at the tool-buying stage, what the org chart looks like after transformation, and the sequence that actually works — from someone who has run the function at scale, not just advised on it.
03
Year 0 of Autonomous Marketing
The category view: multi-agent systems, brand memory, recursive learning — what is real today, what is 18 months out, and the four constraints (context, evaluation, handoff, taste) nobody names.
04
What a Decade of Manual Growth Taught Me About AI
ByteDance, Mahindra Finance, Foundit — 0 to 1.5M installs, 2× revenue years, $600M+ moved. Which parts of that work were judgment, which were pattern execution, and why that split decides who thrives now.
05
Growth Lessons From the Hardest Market
Building in India — price-sensitive, multilingual, low-trust, mobile-first — and why playbooks that survive there translate anywhere. The India-to-global lens.

The Autonomous Marketer
The decade of marketing I wish someone had written down. Sent when I have something real to say — not on a schedule.
