Hi, I'm Rohit
I'm a web entrepreneur, and I currently run Ventrow Digital along with my super talented remote team.
Prior to this, I worked as an SEO consultant for 3 years with various startups across the US, UK, Canada, Singapore and India.
While writing about SEO and my experiments related to it on TechTage, I got featured by tier 1 SEO publications like Search Engine Journal and SEMRush.

What I'm up to these days
I originally registered this domain back in 2013. It was meant for a place to share my personal thoughts on things. Since around 2015, I didn't really get the time for personal blogging, more so after I took digital publishing as my full-time career.
Still, you can find my older blog posts (that I mostly wrote as a teenager just for myself) in my blog. Just one request, try not to be too judgmental!
Background
I've had a curious mind since childhood, always thinking about the why behind anything new that I came across.
Shortly after getting my first smartphone (a Nokia, running on 1st generation Symbian OS), I got involved with building custom ROMs at age 10. Those ended up being hugely popular among other users, amassing over 10M downloads, and ultimately led me to build my own smartphone forum.
Along the way, I learned many little technical things about building a website, while having no formal education on the subject.
Soon enough, I started building other sites since I was genuinely passionate about building and tweaking websites. This also led me to get started with SEO and organic traffic.
Later, my articles on SEO started getting enough exposure after they were shared by big names in the SEO space at the time, like Neil Patel and Brian Dean, which led to me getting plenty of consulting and mainstream SEO work from clients. I remember getting super thrilled when I got my first serious SEO work from a client at age 15 (thanks for trusting a teenager with no proven track record!).
Ultimately, I realized that I can make much better use of whatever little skills I had developed if I built my own websites with bigger budgets, monetizing them seriously (instead of running them just as a hobby) and growing them with SEO.
So, within just a couple of years of starting with client work and SEO consulting, I transitioned completely to running my own portfolio of websites (called 'niche sites' at that point). This felt super liberating because I was not answerable to anyone and yet the earnings weren't that bad.
Long story short, things kept snowballing from there (I unknowingly started seeing the power of compounding) and ultimately I never had to sit for a single job interview / internship / anything of that sort in my life. I'm low-key proud of this fact.
