About Aseem

I am a writer, a storyteller and an introvert.  I am an avid reader and cinema buff. I am always up for a drink and a good conversation. My aim in life is to empower you to be the most awesome version of yourself. I help people and businesses share their stories with the world.

So, What is This Blog?

I started my first blog in 2016 when I entered the domain of digital marketing as an experiment. Through numerous iterations, revisions and increasing clarity, I created this site where I share my experiences, talk about lessons I learned and topics that are of great interest to me.

I place huge value in self-belief and work constantly to become a better person in every aspect of my life be it personal, professional, relationships, mental wellness, spirituality etc. I believe that as humans, we have unlimited potential for greatness which we never tap into for a number of reasons.

Through this blog, I share everything I know in a raw and uncensored way without any bullshit. I shoot straight from the hip and call things as they are. I use the occasional curse word or two when I communicate, so you have been warned in advance.

Who am I?

I am 27 years old. I grew up in New Delhi among a loving family. After doing engineering because that’s what science students did (and nailing it!), I decided to pursue digital marketing. After a successful internship at an IT firm in India, I decided to pursue my passion for writing and began to write content for social media agencies. I became interested in marketing and business.

Currently, I am living in Lyon, France (Go Lyonnais!) where I moved at the end of 2020 for an International MBA program at EM-Lyon Business School (It’s the BEST!). I haven’t worked in a traditional big business, most of my experience has been with startups and marketing agencies. Professionally, I aspire to run my own full-service digital media marketing firm one day among other things. At any given time, I am pursuing two to three side projects and always stay engaged. I go full throttle when I decide to get something done and move to the next big idea.

I love to work on my communication skills and I can’t overstate how much I love speaking to an audience. I talk on a variety of subjects related to self-development, happiness and your overall well-being. The idea is to be open and direct about issues that impact us on a personal level, to cut through the bullshit and have an honest conversation about everyday matters.

I have been a member of Toastmasters International since 2014, first back in New Delhi and now in Lyon. I love every minute of it. I have spoken in front of crowds large and small, met people from all over the globe and collaborated with people from different cultures. It was here that I came into my own as a writer and shared stories that came from the heart. I realized that I wanted to tell stories that entertained, informed and inspired people from all walks of life.

I love to travel, have new experiences, learn about new cultures and see the world. I have visited over 10 countries and covered most parts of India. My fascination with other cultures started when I was a kid. I speak 3 languages not including two years of Japanese lessons at school.

I don’t preach, I don’t give advice and I don’t have all the answers. I am, just like you, trying to give my best and sharing what I know. I want my experiences to make you think and to believe in yourself more.

I hope that what I have to say will take you further on your journey to be the most awesome version of yourself.
