Hi,
I'm Pawan

I get excited about opportunities where I can lead cross-functional projects and help innovative teams bring their best ideas to life. That could mean scaling content, growing a business, or building a new product.

Most of all, I enjoy working on things that create a positive impact for people.

My story

I grew up in a small village. My father is a farmer. At 16, I launched a YouTube channel and published 26 videos in 26 days. At 17, I ran paid ad campaigns and did $6,000+ in affiliate sales. In 2023, I cleared JEE and joined NIT Allahabad. My content has now crossed 50M+ views across platforms. In 2026, I worked directly with the founders of Cograd, a Shark Tank India startup, across sales, operations, tech and marketing.

Past work

Cograd: Social Media / Founder's Office

May - June 2026 · Noida
Result36xMonthly YouTube views went from 800 to 29,000+. Instagram grew 112x, from 500 to 56,000+. In 6 weeks.
ProblemYouTube was sitting at just 800 views per month, and Instagram at just 500.
What I did
  • Managed the brand's YouTube and Instagram accounts

  • Led the packaging strategy, coordinated with podcast editor and thumbnail designer, and tested hooks, thumbnails, CTAs and formatting
Lesson
  • Working directly with founders across research, sales, design, marketing and operations showed me how a startup actually runs
  • Watching the build-test-iterate cycle of their AI product, Medha AI, taught me what it takes to make AI tool work reliably beyond a demo

Result31M+Views and 37K+ subscribers on YouTube. 10M+ views and 4,300+ followers on Instagram. Retention and engagement up 30%.
ProblemA solo creator with no team, no equipment and no budget.
What I did
  • Designed and ran a Notion-based content operating system for 110 Shorts and Reels, from research through editing and distribution
  • Analyzed retention curves, drop-off points and CTR to find leak points and drive evidence-based content changes
  • Grew weekly views from 8K to 2M+ in 6 weeks (25,000% growth), all organic
Lesson
  • Creativity needs structure to scale. I stopped just grinding and started systemizing.
  • Stop guessing, start measuring. Retention and drop-off data told me what to fix next.

What I'd bring to your team

Beyond the skills and experience, here's what I think I'd uniquely bring.

01Ownership mindset

I'm not someone who waits for orders. If something needs to happen, I take initiative and own it, whatever that thing turns out to be.

Nobody assigned me a task when I scaled my own YouTube channel to 31M+ views and 36K+ subscribers in about nine months. I built the entire system myself. The research, the content, the packaging, the analytics, all of it.

That's the same ownership I'd bring to your team.

02Reliability

I don't disappear the moment office hours end. If something urgent comes up that genuinely needs my input, I'm happy to step in.

By default, I protect my personal time, health and sleep after office hour. But I stay open whenever something real needs fixing.

You can count on me for the moments that actually matter, not just the scheduled ones.

03Systems thinking

I do my actual role sincerely, but I don't limit myself to my job description. I pay attention to the bigger picture.

If I notice a process or bottleneck blocking something else in the business, I'll flag it or fix it myself. I run my content, personal and professional life on my own operating system, built in Notion and Claude Cowork using the PARA method.

That's the same instinct I'd bring to your systems too.

04Fast learner, proactive problem solver

Everything I've achieved started from zero. No one was there to tell me what to do or how.

I figured it out alone when I built an affiliate business to $6,000+ in sales, cracked JEE to get into NIT, and grew my YouTube channel to 31M+ views.

I'll bring that same problem-solving mindset and speed of learning to your team.

05Highly Organised

My entire digital life is organised across Notion and Google Drive, based on the PARA method and the MECE principle.

Claude Cowork is my central hub, or personal assistant. It is integrated with all the tools I use, and it now runs my life.

06AI Native

AI is deeply integrated into all my workflows.

Claude Cowork is connected with all the tools I use, like Google Workspace tools and Notion. It reads my files and instructions on my device and assists me with research, planning, documentation, and pretty much everything I do (my Jarvis🤞).

I use ChatGPT, Canva and Claude Design for all my design work, NotebookLM for learning and research and Claude Code for building. (Gemini for my personal and professional work when I am within Google Workspace)
