Q: Being recognized as the most popular RJ in the city is no small feat. What do you believe sets you apart from others in the industry?
Kshitij: Authenticity and relatability. I believe in being genuine on air, sharing real stories, and connecting with my audience on a personal level. It’s this authenticity that creates a bond, making listeners feel like they’re part of a conversation with a friend.
Q: Your transition into business is noteworthy. How did you leverage your radio success into becoming a growth hacker for brands in Vadodara?
Kshitij: Radio taught me the art of storytelling and understanding audience dynamics. I applied these skills to help businesses tell their stories effectively. By bridging the gap between creativity and strategy, I’ve been able to contribute to the growth of brands in Vadodara.
Q: With the rise of social media, how do you navigate the complexities of managing online platforms for personal and business growth?

Q: A business by your agency turning into sales of 10cr in less than a year? That’s amazing. Does this mean you’re a crorepati now?
A: Ha ha ha, I wish that was true. But I am sure our clients will turn crorepati if they keep following our strategies. See it’s not about what, but it’s about how. Marketing and branding is not rocket science. But each brand has different needs and hence each brand needs a different approach. We carefully access and evaluate the brands before we suggest any solutions. New age media is just evolving and we are all learning but if we play the cards right, then sky is the limit.

It adds a different dimension to my personality, and I cherish the opportunity to share it with the world.
Q: Your mission involves empowering businesses through videos and social media. What advice do you have for individuals looking to establish themselves as brands in the digital age?
