I help people help themselves. Whether you are wondering how to scale up a business, or how to fix that marketing problem, or perhaps just answer life's questions, I do my best to point you in the right direction. Best part, I do it for free. Why? Because everything shouldn't cost money.

How can I help you?
By helping you, I intend to help myself. So let me just try and help you.
Business Coaching
Having run a successful business myself, and helped many others along the way, I feel confident about my ability to understand your business and offer a solution to issues ailing you.
Marketing Mentor
The Mentor along with Marketing is there just because it sounds good. I've been doing marketing much before I knew it is called marketing. Have reached out to millions without spending a penny.
Work Chit Chat
There's so much each one of us has to offer to each other. Whether it's marketing, business, career or something else work related, happy to 'connect' and just chat 🙂
Prateek is like a person who can calm down even a turbulent storm. The noise of the world seldom affects him. His guidance and mentorship has immensely helped me in selecting the right directions for me and my business and focus on the larger picture in this noisy world.
He is someone who can think beyond obvious with such an ease. Understanding of things and the clarity his mind possesses are so exceptional that he can think farther than majority of the people, while focusing on a bigger picture. With his diverse knowledge about various industries, his experience and wisdom, he is a guide whose presence is an asset in any one’s balance sheet. Despite his generosity in freely sharing his experience and wisdom to the world, he is such a humble, simple and an easy going person. There is a lot to learn from this man.

Prateek's calls has been the boost and clarity I needed when I was in self doubt. This is coming from a person who was always clear to have her own journey and has been trying something since the time she was 17 and surrounded by people with traditional professions. Sometimes you know what you want but a right peer/ coach/ friend will add volume and layers to your clarity.
Thank you Prateek for what you do and how you do!!

I have known Prateek Shah since 2012 and have been reaching out to him whenever I am in a professional dilemma.
He is an extremely cheerful person full of creative ideas and positive energy who will always send some light & motivation your way. No matter how stressed you are, a very simple conversation with him can recharge you. Being a solopreneur, I come across very few people who understand my challenges, but I have been thankful to have Prateek. In the last decade, I have found a great mentor and a friend in him who has always guided me in the right direction. But mind you, he won't guide you by spoon-feeding, but by enabling you to choose what's right for you and then making you implement the same. Apart from our fruitful meetings & call, he has always recommended books that have been very useful to me.
The best part about Prateek is his thoughts are always raw, fresh & original. He is a non-judgemental person with whom you can share your problems with utmost comfort. Trust me, if you have him as your mentor, you are indeed lucky.

Prateek has been my go to mentor when it comes to digital marketing and building a brand online. I've known him for more than a decade and he is one of those persons who helped me transform from being a Common Man to being a Digital Influencer.
The fact that he is able to understand the problem in a split second combined with his deep knowledge of Consumer Psychology makes him a Digital Marketing Guru.

I met Prateek Sir through a digital course that I was doing in 2016. He was teaching my batch email marketing. He was able to change my perspective about email marketing completely and to this day, I still follow his teachings. I have followed him ever since and had become a fan of his newsletters.
As a teacher, his best attribute is to make a lesson interesting and make it memorable with examples. I highly recommend him as a mentor/teacher/coach for personal or business.

Prateek is probably the easiest, sweetest & one of the most knowledgeable persons to reach out to to discuss work ideas. We have had lengthy discussion last year around my dilemma on how to take my hobby forward to the next step. And our recent discussion around becoming an online trainer for Scale Paper Modeling gave me amazing insights based on his experience in this domain that he is a master of. We explored all possible options and discussed their pros and cons and his insights helped me in reaching a firm conclusion. THANK YOU for always being around for me and for many others, who just want to brainstorm ideas with someone who LISTENS.
Best thing about consulting with Prateek is that he tries to know you as a person first and doesn’t jump to a conclusion with a know-it-all approach. His approach is farsighted and practical with objectively defined pros and cons. He navigates you to make a decision for yourself with complete humility and his own experience based perspective. One of the few people in the industry who could be trusted for a non-judgemental advice.
I have approached Prateek for both professional and personal issues over the last dozen years or so that I have known him and he has been a lighthouse in all the difficult, confusing, or even deeply traumatic times - guiding my ship back safely to the shore.
Don't approach him if you are merely looking to vent out your problems and do nothing about solving them. Prateek's approach is two pronged- he first understands the overview of the situation without allowing the person relive the trauma they are facing by repeating the details, and then suggests practical, easily or immediately applicable low-hanging solutions. He often even follows back to check the progress.
Prateek's expertise to understand and help people comes from the ocean of experiences that he and his wide network have undergone. His perspective is fresh, nonjudgmental, and focussed entirely on the well-being of the person he's helping.

There are lot of professional whom I have interacted in my career for last 12 years and met really interesting people-Â
People who inspired me , People who I have inspired ( at least that's what they say), People who needed my help to get things done , Colleagues becoming friends , and so on, but its rare to find someone with whom you can interact without any reason. It's rare when someone echoes your thought process out loud and makes you comfortable about your insecurities , that too without even meeting in so long.
Its rare to talk to someone without context and still get answers about really difficult problems.
Prateek , actually behaves like a still water, it reflects your image and lets you see what you want to see.
He doesn't claim to be all knowing social influencer but a friend who will be there when you actually want to toss your choices.

I first met Prateek (virtually) when I was taking a marketing course, and he was my instructor.
His sessions were the most enjoyable - fun, candid and no-nonsense. We then kept in touch via Facebook, liking each other's content for the most part but never had a one on one conversation until I decided to reach out to understand what it would be like to transition to my own venture. He was kind enough to agree to chat and I never felt rushed while speaking to him. It was so insightful primarily because there wasn't any gyan involved, just a real person sharing his personal experience and letting me know what I could expect, while taking absolute interest in what it was that I was trying to achieve.
More than anything else I endorse his own claim of being a 'life consultant' because he is just that - a wonderful grounded human being with rich life experiences that he is willing to share with everyone. Good luck Prateek, I might bug you again very soon!

Prateek Shah is one of the most honest mentors you can find in the digital space. He's a great listener, calls you out on any harmful thought process and helps you channel your energies on the things most important to you. I've sort his advice on multiple business and personal issues, and he has always been able to point me in the right direction.
I know Prateek since last 15 years. He has been a great friend, guide and an amazing advisor. He makes you feel relaxed and friendly, and that's why you don't hesitate discussing anything with him. It's fun and enjoyable to learn from him and he is very motivating and encouraging! If you ever need guidance for business or startups, or a personal approach towards a Line of Business - This is the MAN you should run behind. He's humble and has always helped me and people in my network with our doubts and queries.Thanks a lot PS.
Prateek is the most humble and honest person anyone can ever ask for. I randomly got connected to him one day via LinkedIn and he was kind enough to reply to me and guide me in the right direction. He is up to date with all the developments happening in the digital space. Nothing but gratitude for always being available whenever I am stuck with something.
One of the nicest person I have ever met. He is much supportive and always be there to hear you. He has the ability to go beyond the boundaries and think out of the box for any kind of help you need. The way he had started DigitalDefynd and took it to the next level is absolutely amazing. More power to him for all his endeavours!
