Consulting fees, how engagements start, the podcast, and the awkward one about working with competing clients.
My engagements start at ₹45,000 per month. Virtual CMO retainers and full programmes run higher depending on scope; event representation is priced per show. Freelance marketplaces will quote you ₹500–5,000 an hour — that buys hours, not judgment.
Anyone claiming that title about themselves should be treated carefully. What you can check: years in the industry, named clients, whether they've done the job in-house, and whether they publish thinking you can evaluate. I've been in India's software industry seventeen years, worked with 25+ firms, and publish a weekly podcast you can judge me on.
Chit Chat with Harry is Gujarat's business podcast, with over 35,000 YouTube subscribers. Every episode is an interview with a founder or CEO of an Indian software or technology company.
Ashim Goldar of Skywinds Solutions, Sharavan Rajpurohit of The Intellify, Vivek Shah of Capermint Technologies, Pallav Purohit of Bombay Softwares, and Chartered Accountant turned creator Shubham Maloo.
Yes. Most clients are Indian firms selling to the US, UK and Europe, spread across the country. The industry knowledge matters, not the postcode.
An agency sells execution capacity and will deliver with junior staff after a senior pitch. A consultant sells judgment — what should be done and why. Buy the agency when you know the answer and need hands; buy the consultant when the question is what to do.
Yes — that's a service I offer. I attend as your company, work the stand or floor, take meetings and hand back a qualified follow-up list. It costs materially less than flying a team of four.
Retainers start at ₹45,000 per month, with a three-month minimum. That's a fraction of a full-time CMO's package, with no equity, notice period or recruitment cost.
No, and be careful of anyone who does. I commit to a clear plan, honest reporting, and telling you early if something isn't working.
Through the contact form. I'm looking for founders of Indian technology firms who'll talk about what didn't work, not just what did. There's no charge to appear — there never has been.
