Summary of Experience I am a highly multi-skilled expert; with lot of expertise, total 18 years of experience and numerous achievements. I also had few years of experience working in corporate environment, while doing my duty as a chairman and managing director. I was the founder of that company, but due to lack of finance, I had to later sell the company. Throughout my working life, I experienced various different industry sectors. I also did a lot of research and study on several topics. My habit of gaining more and more knowledge helped me in becoming a specialist. As a result, I gained experience in multiple areas, and also learned several unique and exclusive skills, methods and techniques; all of which together are vital for growth of any company and/or organization. Currently, I deliver following services as a Self Employed Freelancer: SEO, SEM, SMM, Copy Writing, Analysis, Content Writing, Web Research, Business Development, Digital Marketing, Content Marketing and Internet Marketing. I deliver these services to some of the companies in USA, UK, Canada, Singapore, Israel, Norway, Germany, India and Australia. Summary of Expertise I am a highly multi skilled professional with expertise in following areas: Information Security, Penetration Testing, Web Research, Internet Marketing, Email Marketing, Technical Intelligence (For Facing Competition), SEO, SEM, SMM, Link Building, Content Writing, Copy Writing, Proof Reading, Business Development, Lead Generation, Digital Marketing, Content Marketing and Communication Skills. In combination with my Information Security Knowledge, my expertise of Internet Marketing and SEO can play extra ordinary role in growth of a company. For Example: My expertise and experience could be used for multiple purpose/multiple departments. It could be utilized for business development department to help the company grow at national and international level. While being a part of training department, I can share my knowledge with the employees of company. In the IT Department, my skills could be used to handle networks and troubleshooting the computers. If I am a part of Information Security Department, it shall help a company to secure the crucial data of the company. I can also contribute by consulting/advising for the corporate department by researching about new ideas, techniques and methods. This may also help the corporate department in accurate decision making process, which in turn would help in winning almost all deals. So, there are several ways in which I can contribute my multiple-area knowledge, experience and expertise; for the growth of any company. My writing and communication skills are also good. I write in a professional manner. I like to write something unique and exclusive i.e. which is compelling, which engages the visitor on your website, which is creative, which is convincing to customers/clients, which is search engine friendly and which is well researched. Summary of Achievements I also worked as Technical Assistant to Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat Mr. Narendra Modi (Now Prime Minister of India) in 2004. I did also work as a Freelancer to Indian Army, Intelligence Wing (Southern Command); whenever they required my help in anti-terrorism related activities. I always keep in touch with national mainstream media, regardless of whether it’s national print or electronic media. My network also includes the 70000 NGOs of India, which are a part of my large network. My network is quite large and can definitely be a plus point for the growth of any company and/or organization. Apart from this, I also had done a security penetration testing on world's largest research center website NASA. In 2003, I also received appreciation and opportunity from President of India Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam (Missile Man of India) and also from Mr. N. Balakrishnan (Chairman of Super Computer Research Center in India). I also have several achievements about me published in various newspapers, magazines, reputed electronic media agencies and TV channels. It’s a fact and also need of hour, for the corporate world across the globe; to have good relationship with various governments. So, I am also little bit active in political areas, with lot of references and relationships. In short and simple to understand language, you may assume me as a professional in Relationship Management and Networking. Aim and Objective I like to perform everything, which is exclusive and unique, which is challenging, which requires solutions. I like to achieve something which no other than me can deliver. I strongly believe in my slogan: I Just Don’t Speak, I Make Things Happen. Let me explain this with some example. What is the definition of an expert? When this question was asked, many people during a research answered, “Those who are highly educated.” Some of them also answered, “Those who are highly experienced.” But in my opinion both the answers are wrong. An expert in my view is one, who has extra-ordinary skills that are unique and exclusive. An expert is one who has something extra above the education and experience that he/she holds. There are many Bachelor, Master and PhD Degree holders across the globe. But honestly asking, can we consider all of them expert/specialist? Obviously no! Apart from education and experience, a person has to do a lot of research and practice in order to win the title of expert/specialist. They need to achieve something more, compared to what a degree holder or experienced person contains. This is the key quality that I have in myself, and about which I am highly confident. There is a difference between a highly educated person, a highly experienced person and an expert/specialist. Everyone who gains higher degrees or gains lot of experience cannot be all considered experts. For Example: Let’s imagine about Wright Brothers, who invented Airplane. Did they complete aeronautical engineering before their invention? The answer is obviously no! Before the invention of Airplane, education related to aeronautics did not even exist. A person, who did invention without the study of a particular subject, in my opinion should be considered as the true expert. Same is the case with Graham Bell. Did he study Telecommunication Engineering before invention of Telephone? Hope this example clarifies the true meaning of expertise/specialization. General Qualification Details 1.
