About

Praval

Hello! I am Praval, a Delhi-based marketer who takes his coffee more seriously than most people he meets. I also enjoy listening to good music and trying out good food from around the world!

I travel quite a bit. In 2023, I took 42 flights as per Flighty; two flights less than what I took the year before the infamous virus hit the world!

This is a blog I created in 2006 where I write about my observations, opinions, and rants about all things life, albeit, a lot less often now than I used to.

I’m also the VP of Marketing & Customer Experience at Zoho—a B2B SaaS company that offers business software to over 100 million users globally.

I grew up in Uttar Pradesh—the most populous state in India (about 200M inhabitants right now). In the last 2 decades, I earned an engineering degree in Computer Science, co-founded a profitable digital agency in India in 2008 (with two great friends I met on the Internet), and flew over half a million miles across more than a dozen countries.

I’ve worked remotely for over a decade, and I believe that the Internet & mobile will continue to redefine the future of work.

I love brands that are built around a purpose and have a strong narrative. I’m equally passionate about how businesses work on their go-to-market strategy and product marketing, particularly positioning & messaging. When I’m not near my computer, I will likely be found brewing coffee at home or dreaming about living in the Himalayas or at a beach in south Goa! I also enjoy listening to Urdu poetry.

You can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn.
