Hi I'm Chirag!
I grew up in a small business family, literally. We have home videos of 3-year-old me selling dressings at our clothing store!
In college, I realized that most business struggles stem from a lack of access to business education and knowledge. So I began to learn as much as I could & fell in love with teaching/sharing with others.
Now, under Entrekey, I create content to make business education more accessible for SMBs & Gen Y-Z Entrepreneurs.
Currently, I work at Google as the youngest Platinum gCare Customer Success Lead. In my role, I get to be a stakeholder in the advertising relationship between Google and some of the largest brands in the world. My role is about serving as a trusted POC to our partners and advocating for improvements in how Google supports them in their marketing goals. Every day is about solving new challenges & meeting with interesting people, I love it!
I attended Lafayette College thanks to the support of the Posse Leadership Foundation and graduated in 2020 with a B.A. in Economics w/ a focus in Entrepreneurship. During my time on campus, I was one of the first Student Fellows for the Dyer Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Co-Founder & Co-President of the Lafayette Chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization.
