Well-regarded in industry circles as India's leading internet marketer, Pratham doesn't follow trends — he creates them.
Known for developing original strategies and systems, he consistently pushes the boundaries of client acquisition and digital scale.
'I'm not in the business of optimising — I'm in the business of inventing,' he says. 'If something doesn't exist in the market, I build it myself.'
Under his leadership, the company has delivered outstanding results for clients across sectors and continents, using bespoke frameworks, constant iteration, and high-performance execution.
There are no gimmicks or celebrity endorsements — just a rigorous, technical approach to creating digital leverage.
Pratham is also known for his exceptionally high IQ, reflected in both his business decisions and personal interests. He's an elite speedcuber with multiple medals and official sub-eight-second solves — a hobby that mirrors the precision and mental agility that drive his professional success.
The Porsche 911 may attract attention, but for Pratham, it isn't the destination.

It's a reflection of the years spent solving tough problems and building something rare from the ground up.
He encourages others to put God first, believing true success in business, health, and life flows from spiritual richness. 'Do not be poor in spirit; let God first make you rich in spirit, and all things will follow' — a principle that defines his view of lasting success.

11 Years of Modi Govt: From tomorrow, Centre to spotlight G20, Operation Sindoor, pension reform and more
Operation Sindoor, the successful hosting of the G20 summit in Delhi, the evacuation of Indians from Sudan and Ukraine, and a surge in defence exports: these will headline the national security achievements to be showcased by the Narendra Modi government as it marks 11 years in office on Tuesday, The Indian Express has learnt. In addition, the government will highlight other flagship policies and decisions implemented since it assumed power for a third consecutive term last year. These include the Cabinet's approval of caste enumeration in the upcoming census to secure accurate data for policymaking, and the rollout of a unified pension scheme to provide assured pensions to central government employees. The inauguration of India's first vertical lift sea bridge—the Pamban rail bridge—and the clearance for the Jammu-Srinagar Vande Bharat Express are also part of the list. Also on the list is progress under several flagship schemes since returning to power in 2024: guaranteed income via MSP, a special national mission to boost domestic production of pulses and reduce import dependency, steady access to electricity in rural areas, and affordable urea for all, among others. According to officials, the broader themes of the government's planned campaign include: serving the poor and marginalised, infrastructure development, Nari Shakti, the northeast, farmer welfare, national security and foreign policy, and ease of doing business. Government schemes and initiatives will be grouped under these categories, with Cabinet ministers and Ministers of State expected to play a key role in messaging. Officials told The Indian Express that the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) began collating major reforms, achievements, and initiatives from the last 11 years—as well as progress made since June 2024—as early as April, to design a creative campaign. I&B Secretary Sanjay Jaju is learnt to have written to all ministries requesting relevant inputs for the campaign. Additionally, the I&B Ministry is learnt to have sought from other ministries a list of suitable locations for media tours to showcase the on-ground implementation of government schemes. According to officials, the tours aim to provide journalists an opportunity to interact with beneficiaries and other stakeholders, and to witness outcomes first-hand. The month-long media tours are intended to highlight success stories, innovations, and best practices in a bid to raise public awareness of the government's programmes and initiatives.

Living illegally in US? Indians offered $1,000 to leave voluntarily
Indians in the United States without valid visas or documents now have an unusual opportunity: leave the country voluntarily and receive a $1,000 stipend — around ₹86,000 — from the US government. The US Embassy in India issued a fresh advisory on Saturday morning, warning foreign nationals who are residing unlawfully in the US to depart immediately. At the same time, it described the voluntary departure initiative as a 'historic opportunity'. US offers financial aid for self-deportation 'Depending on their circumstances, they might receive financial and other assistance from the US government to depart,' the notice said. Those interested have been directed to register through the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) Home App, launched under the Trump administration. The move is part of a broader push by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to encourage illegal residents to leave the country voluntarily, using a tech-based self-deportation system. 'DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App,' said Kristi Noem, US Secretary of Homeland Security. 'This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens and is a 70% savings for US taxpayers.' According to the Homeland Security website, those approved under this scheme will: Be eligible for help with travel arrangements and documentation Have their departure scheduled within 21 days of application approval Be deprioritised for detention and removal by ICE if enrolled Be allowed a longer time to depart if paying their own way Potentially improve their chances for future legal immigration Who qualifies for the $1,000 stipend? Two main categories are eligible, according to DHS: 1. Non-criminal foreign nationals who encountered CBP at a port or between ports of entry and are now in the US without valid status 2. Parolees whose legal stay has expired or is about to expire Applicants must be physically present in the US at the time of registering their intent to leave. The embassy also warned individuals who overstayed valid visas that they face arrest, fines, deportation, and even a permanent travel ban. 'They may be deported and could face a permanent ban on future travel to the United States,' the embassy said in a post on X. What undocumented Indians should know Immigration experts say those without legal status, especially those who entered illegally, have very few options to remain in the country. 'There are not many legal pathways for those on illegal status, especially the ones with criminal records,' Ajay Sharma, founder of Abhinav Immigration Services told Business Standard. 'Even those without criminal records who try to file in any permitted category must leave the country once to get new status validated, and the probability of being denied re-entry is still very high.' He added that other countries may also restrict visa access for those with a history of illegal stay in the US. Jonathan Grode, US practice director at immigration law firm Green and Spiegel, said the options vary depending on the person's circumstances. 'Options really depend on the person's individual status and if they have family or other means of staying in the US, such as asylum. Generally speaking, employment sponsorship is not an option,' Grode said. 'If you are a visa overstay, marriage to a US citizen can quell the issue – but no other filing really can. So even if you had an employer, it does not mean you can get status,' he said. 'The only other real avenue is asylum – but that is predicated on a specific fear of harm if you return to your home country.'
