Bars & Cultures
Bars & Cultures
Bars & Cultures-Over a long period of time the society’s evolution in terms of norms and thinking is very slow. Especially in a country like India which is very rich and diverse in cultural aspect, it takes a lot of time for the mentality of the people to evolve.
Bars and pubs have been existing in India since a very long time ago and it can traced back to the era of Aryan Civilization but then these were the places meant only for the men-folk.
Even today, the stereotype thinking has not grown much. Women seen hanging out in Pubs and Bars are not considered to be cultured. But the modern generation sees it differently. This is a good progress and a good sign for the girls. Finally, we are marching on the road to equality of men and women. So, let the party begin.

Milk and Mario
Milk and Mario-Every morning starts with annoying alarm tone. *Sigh* the new day starts and my cats are mewing for a bowl of milk. All they need is the milk bowl filled up to the brim.Milk and Mario And within a minute or two after pouring in milk it will vanish. Cute little kittens drink up all the milk at once. And then just purr, purr and purr.
With such a great head start to the day the day goes ahead very well. Busy at work I never ever worry of my kittens being hungry as they had a full bowl of milk and therefore I am rest assured at work. I ponder whether there is an analogy to this situation. Try relating this to your daily life. Yes, you got it right, your mother plays the very same role. She makes sure that you get the right nutrition at the very beginning of the day so that your day goes with full energy. Now, I feel bad about always being annoyed with my mother when she used to force me to finish the glass of milk, all she wanted was to give me the right nutrition. I love you mummy, Thanks for all the glasses of milk which you forced me to drink.
Super Mario
Video games brought a revolution when they hit the market in the early 90’s. Only the 90’s kids will understand the madness behind those games and competing with their friends in the race to complete the levels first. The craziness went to whole new level and kids started spending more time playing video games then outdoor games.
Though the graphics and other gaming features have evolved over the period of time but still the craziness that went with Super Mario and Contra like games cannot be compared to any other video game; the kids of that decade will know of what I am talking about 😉

Individual Personal Branding Experts Dominating the NicheWhile agencies build ecosystems, some individuals are the brand. These thought leaders didn’t just advise on personal branding—they lived it, refined it, and made it their calling card. Here are the names reshaping the space with their voice, visibility, and vision.
Bhavik SarkhediA globally recognized personal branding specialist, Bhavik is the founder of Ohh My Brand and author of eight books. He’s frequently featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and top-tier platforms for his pioneering work in digital storytelling, SEO, and authority building.
Originating from India, Bhavik’s ventures—like Write Right—prove how content-led ecosystems can scale brands organically. Forbes named him a Global Personal Branding Expert (2025), and his articles regularly trend for their practical, trend-forward take on executive branding.
Dominance:
Bhavik’s own brand—backed by TEDx talks, bestselling books, and global client wins—acts as proof of concept. He’s helped elevate CEOs, founders, authors, and influencers by aligning narrative clarity with SEO-driven visibility. Today, he’s ranked among the top personal branding experts worldwide, and for many, he’s the benchmark.
Known as The Brand Professor, Sahil is a London-based strategist and co-founder of Blushush. He’s built his reputation on merging design clarity with brand depth—helping clients craft brands that look good and feel real.
From Europe to Asia, Sahil has worked with 3x founders, NYT bestselling authors, and disruptive startups. His personal LinkedIn presence reflects the same design-first, insight-rich ethos he brings to client work.
Dominance:
Sahil’s impact is visual and strategic. He was recently ranked among the top 20 personal branding experts globally, recognized for turning raw potential into influential brand architecture. Whether it’s a founder’s story or a startup’s visual identity, his clarity and creativity drive conversion.

William Arruda – A pioneer in personal branding, founder of Reach Branding, and author of Career Distinction.
Dorie Clark – Author of Reinventing You, she coaches executives on storytelling and reinvention.
Goldie Chan – Known for vibrant, insightful LinkedIn videos on branding and community building.
Gary Vaynerchuk – Founder of VaynerMedia. His daily vlogs, keynote rants, and unfiltered brand made him the poster child of CEO-as-influencer.

They hold their own against longer-established firms, thanks to credible founders and an agile, story-first approach.

Consider These Factors When Choosing a Personal Branding Partner:Credibility vs. Creativity: Established firms come with press clout, while newer agencies often bring more inventive storytelling and personalized service.SEO and Digital Presence: Your agency should rank well online themselves. OMB’s SEO-first model or SimplyBe.’s LinkedIn content are prime examples.Service Scope: Know what you need—PR, content, design, SEO—and choose a partner that covers those gaps. Some are full-service, others niche specialists.Personal Fit: Branding is personal. Chemistry, values, and vision matter. Find an agency that doesn’t just shape your image, but reflects your essence.In conclusion, executive branding is about building a legacy, not just a LinkedIn profile. The leading agencies and experts highlighted here all excel in crafting memorable leader brands – but each through their own lens. Whether you’re a rising founder or a seasoned CEO, choosing the right partner can unlock new levels of influence, trust, and opportunity.
As Sahil Gandhi aptly said, “Branding is no longer just about aesthetics—it’s about building trust.” The agency or expert you entrust with your personal brand should not only make you look good – they should make sure your voice is heard, your story remembered, and your reputation respected.
With the insights and comparisons above, you can make a well-informed choice and let your brand speak louder than ever.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
OverviewRomance is an idea that blows the mind and the exotic feelings which just go beyond to another world. These feelings can either be expressed verbally or through the artistic art of penning them down so that it directly goes into the mind of the readers. Novels are an intriguing way to express one’s thoughts. Just as a dancer requires dancing skills and a singer the art of balancing taal similarly a writer possesses the art of engaging the minds of the audience with a sword which is his pen and paper.
A good writer always focuses on how can a reader think in the exact way he does then only he would be able to keep the reader in the same state as he as a writer. Writing which is considered expulsive enough to drag the reader always ensures upholding the best position in the market.
Many genres come up that most of the audience likes but what they love the most is romantic novels. So just holding a glass of wine in your comfy blanket and enjoying the art or a novel written by a famous writer is a prejudice for me at least. And I hope that is for you too!!
An idea of RomanceWhether you drool over the paranormal romance that proves you don’t need flesh and blood to get a sexy, historical romance that transports you back to the fluttering hearts of yore, rom-com that combine hilarious misadventures with the steamy stuff, or sexy stories that are too spicy for public transportation, all can give you the greatest level of comfort.
See, every romance flutters the mind of the readers whether it be romance within a horror story too, it is just about going with the flow and getting into the depth of what the romance will shape you as a reader. How will you feel and what your review would depend on how a writer will write further because all he wants is to make the audience or the readers enjoy his piece of writing.
A writer who adds flavor to his writing by adding his personal experience with a hypothetical person is always showered love by the audience because they feel connected to the story and feels more like reading it and pleading it not have a nasty end but with an end which most of the readers like.
The very greatest romance novels may mimic the intimate and personal yet massive and life-changing feeling of falling in love. A good love story contains drama, intrigue, jokes, and, if you’re lucky, a little heat.
It is not always about how the story starts or how it ends. The drama which goes on between the protagonists is also a queer demand of the readers. A reader always feels that there must be never-ending romance but with some spice of drama and emotions which will make the novel or the process of writing a best-selling piece of writing.
Variety of NovelsThere are tons of romance novels to pick from, in numerous sub-categories and a variety of romance book tropes, given the billion-dollar size of the romance book market and the daily release of new titles. From one and only famous novel Pride and Prejudice to The notebook and then to Fifty shades of Grey all are the best novels I have ever read. The solace and the satisfaction of reading these pieces of writing are just extravagant.
What I believe is that someone who has a love interest and believes in the storylines and enjoys the demeanor the author takes into these below novels will surely blow your mind. Down there is a list of the 20 best novels that can not only make you believe in love but also transfer you to that world where you want it to be a reality. And I hope you will read at least 5-6 novels from what I will mention below and will like them.
1. The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
The Notebook is a modern love story that takes place just before and after World War II. Despite Allie’s family and the socioeconomic conditions of the time, they spent a beautiful summer together with Noah when even they were sure that they won’t be able to live together. After they are made to part ways, Noah makes an effort to stay in touch with Allie, but his letters go unanswered. Finally, in one more letter, Noah declares his unending and eternal love. In order to find a job and to get away from the ghost of Allie, Noah moves up north. Eventually, he enlists in the military. He goes home to refurbish an old farmhouse after serving his country. 14 years after their previous encounter, Allie decides to see Noah again after reading a newspaper story about his project. But at that time she had two men in her life and now she was in a tough spot as to whom to choose to live a life with and to whom she purely loves.
2. It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
Lily, the heroine of It Ends with Us, is a recent college graduate and fresh transplant to a new city. That’s when Lily first meets Ryle, the man she would later fall in love with. When Lily’s first love, Atlas, unexpectedly reappears, he threatens to derail her budding romance with Ryle. In my opinion, It Ends with Us merits the highest possible rating. This book deserved five stars since it didn’t make the same mistakes that so many other romance novels do. You’ll smile, laugh, and cry while reading It Ends with Us because the author makes you feel everything Lily does. Readers gave this book an average rating of 5 stars because of the complexity of the plot and the depth of the characters. The story explores the gray area in between, proving that there are varying degrees of ambiguity in real life. How stable their connection is and how they maintain their equilibrium is the story’s central question.
3. Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai
In the rom-com novel ‘Partners in Crime’, lying to your partner is examined, as is what happens when your falsehoods fall apart. Amira Patel has bad luck with men, extremely hateful. She is unsure which it is, but she is certain that it was not what she had planned for the day to be abandoned in a five-star restaurant and forced to foot the exorbitant tab. She makes the decision to drive to Nevada to handle some paperwork for her aunt’s estate rather than having it sent to her in California when she receives a call asking her to handle it. Because of the brief vacation, perhaps dealing with something lot more upsetting will help her forget splitting from a man she didn’t love. Love doesn’t go well for Naveen Desai. He has met two ideal women, and each time they dated him for just long enough for him to begin thinking about marriage before they broke it off. Partners in Crime is pretty much the epitome of what a romantic comedy should be: a joyful, occasionally foolish, occasionally humorous tale with a lovely, touching romance at its core. I really liked it, and I believe readers searching for a light, charming contemporary will too.
4. The Unproposed guy by Bhavik Sarkhedi
It is a superfluous novel with a lot of drama and comedy with a little bit of romance in it. The beginning of the book is Kevin’s wedding day. Along with his parents, sister Tina, and older brother Zubin, he is surrounded by numerous people. The main character of the book drifts in and out of his recollections as it moves along for one reason or another. It’s a novel with lots of sweeps and flashbacks. When examined closely, it becomes clear that Kevin was a good child. The main issue, though, is that he is an outcast everywhere. He didn’t choose the traditional route like his brother Zubin and sister Tina had. Why Kevin didn’t get proposed to is the main topic of the book. He met together with a lot of girls; some of them exhibited friendship, while others used him to make their partner envious. But what question remained was that, was Kevin uninterested in girls or were the girls least interested in him.
5. A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall
In A Lady For A Duke, Viola Carroll is a character who, after everyone assumed she had perished at Waterloo, was finally permitted to live her actual life. Now that she has returned home, her sister-in-law persuades her to see the Duke of Gracewood, her former best friend. He’s a wreck as a result of the loss, and Viola wants to help him get back to himself. It’s challenging, though, and as they fall in love with each other, Viola and Gracewood will both discover new ways to love themselves. This novel made me feel a lot of emotions. Certain parts of it are funny, while others are unquestionably nice. But in general, it concentrated on a lot of weighty issues. The romance was always bubbling away in the distance. The primary thing I took away from this book was how it made me feel, even if there is some smut and it’s not very detailed. I wanted to cry and hug the characters because of it. I want them to understand that they are normal and that they would have a lot more support if they lived in the present. However, they aren’t. I’m overjoyed that they were able to find happiness. The ending was ideal and provided for them in every way.
6. First love by Jessica Corbyn
A young man who plays baseball has a friend named Jill, and he is so drawn to her sexually that he can’t bear her standing in front of him without kissing and touching her inappropriately. Ashley, an old buddy he later ran into, offered him a ride home. Eventually, she developed feelings for him, and they engaged in intense sex that was more risky and sophisticated than Jill’s. He refuses to give up on Jill when Ashley asks him to do so after discovering his relationship. He couldn’t get enough of the sex he had with Ashley. Jill eventually learned that he was lying and decided to stop. He spent the next few weeks sulking over the relationship lost. His friends later encourage him to cheer up and get back to fit again.
7. Vision in White by Nora Roberts
First, of four books depicting the best friends who own the full-service wedding event company Vows, Vision in White introduces readers to the proprietors of that company. Parker received a mansion with a ballroom as an inheritance, and along with cake decorator Lauren, florist Emma, and photographer Mackenzie, the four of them have built a venue for weddings in Connecticut. Carter and Mackenzie’s romance is featured in Vision. This is a straightforward modern romance with no mention of stalkers or serial murders. The primary focus is on Carter and Mackenzie’s growing attraction, which is made more difficult by Mackenzie’s aversion to commitment. Mackenzie had a rough upbringing. Mackenzie’s mother is an emotional vampire who continuously uses guilt to get her daughter to support whatever vice her mother has.
8. Bared to You by Sylvia Day
“Bared to You” is a book from Sylvia Day’s The Crossfire book series. The narrative follows recent college grad Eva Tramell as she settles into her new life in New York City and begins her new career as a junior account manager’s assistant at an advertising agency.

9. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
One of Jane Austen’s best-known books is Pride and Prejudice. But in the year 1813, around three separate volumes of the literature were produced under false names. This book has become a literary classic. This novel, which is taught at many universities as a component of English literature and has excellent characters and sharp wit, is unquestionably a masterpiece by the author. “Bared to You” is a book from Sylvia Day’s The Crossfire book series. The narrative follows recent college grad Eva Tramell as she settles into her new life in New York City and begins her new career as a junior account manager’s assistant at an advertising agency.

10. Call me by your name by Andre Aciman
The story of Call Me by Your Name revolves around an impromptu and passionate love affair between a young man and a summer guest at his parents’ cliffside mansion on the Italian Riviera. To mask their surprise at the intensity of their attraction, they both play it cool at first. In the following restless summer weeks, however, as they test the tense ground between them, unyielding undercurrents of obsession and fear, curiosity and need, intensify their passion. What comes out of their hearts is a romance that only lasts around six weeks but changes them both forever. Because the intimacy they experience on the Riviera and that hot night in Rome is the one thing they fear they may never discover again.
The psychological ploys associated with attraction are conveyed expertly in André Aciman’s blunt, unsentimental, and devastating elegy to human affection. Call Me by Your Name is frank, unflinching, and ultimately unforgettable.
11. Seven days in June by Tia Williams
The most excellent romantic book I’ve read in a while is “Seven Days in June.” Tia has described Eva and her preteen daughter Audre so vividly and realistically. I genuinely laughed out loud at some of the precocious things Audre said. As the story goes on, we discover more about Eva and Shane’s childhood traumas and how much the things that happened to them still influence them today; they each have challenges to face and self-doubts to go beyond. Although the main relationship in this story is between Eva and Shane, other mothers and daughters are also discussed in this book, in addition to Eva and Audre. Eva must come to terms with some unpleasant truths.
12. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
In the novel Jane Eyre, a mistreated woman battles to become independent in a rigid Victorian society. She has to make her way in a society where a woman’s success in the world is based on her chances of getting married after starting from nothing. A sizable ladder and platform construction built of wood and metal serves as the stage for the play’s action, creating a lively and inventive environment. She has dedicated her book to William Thackeray, a Victorian satirist and the creator of Vanity Fair, who she believes accomplishes this excellently. She lauds Thackeray for being a “social regenerator” who creates literature to fix the broken social structure.
13. Before I do by Sophie Cousens
The first scene of Before I Do begins with a bride walking barefoot out of a church and the sound of approaching sirens. Something seems to have gone horribly wrong. With the aid of family and friends, Audrey and Josh have been organizing their wedding. Nevertheless, unfavorable signs start to appear, starting with a dead bat nearly landing on Josh’s grandmother Parker during the wedding rehearsal. A flower garland nearly strangles the pair during the rehearsal dinner, and Audrey begins to break out in hives. The cherry on top is when Fred, a character from Audrey’s past, attends Josh’s sister’s wedding the night before the nuptials. Although the book started off a little slowly for me, it picked up steam in the middle and I found myself unable to put it down. I did find the humor to be really amusing, especially the wedding mishaps, and I kept wondering what else could possibly go wrong. I adore it when a book makes me chuckle, and this one did it numerous times. The story has a lot of complexity, and I’m always game for a novel that combines humor with substance. I endorse this with reservations.
14. Virgin River by Robyn Carr
The Virgin River book series by Robyn Carr began in 2007 with the release of Virgin River, and it is still going strong with the release of the series’ most recent volume in 2020 and the announcement of a new anthology in 2022. Before the Netflix TV series’s premiere, romance readers started to become fans of the Virgin River book series, and that popularity is still going strong today. Virgin River was really listed as one of HarperCollins’ 200 Iconic Books from the previous 200 years. Twenty-one volumes and five more anthologies make up the current Virgin River book series. Each book in the series is a contemporary romance novel with a unique, stand-alone plot and fresh, distinctive main characters.
15. Shanna by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
One of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss’ most recognizable and well-liked romances is one of her all-time bestsellers on the New York Times bestseller list. In secrecy, a deal is made behind the ominous walls of Newgate Prison.

A sacred commitment is violated, however, in the waning echoes of false wedding vows, as a sensual free spirit takes flight to a beautiful Caribbean paradise, leaving the stranger she married to face the gallows unfulfilled. The tumultuous, enticing Shanna is now permanently entwined with Ruark Beauchamp’s destiny. He’ll be set free. and he’ll track her down.
16. Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas
Bestseller As with the rake, At the beginning of Kleypas’ latest novel, Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, makes a pact with Evangeline Jenner, the stammering daughter of a sick club owner, to prevent her uncle from marrying her off to a cousin, killing her, and stealing her father’s money. Evangeline gives Sebastian her inheritance in exchange for his marriage and help in seeing her dying father. They go off to Scotland and get hitched there. Though they first distrust each other, they eventually form a fragile link; nonetheless, Sebastian is worried about his intense reaction to the realization. After Evie’s father dies, Sebastian takes an value in the club, and while he and Evie are renovating it, Evie challenges him to three months of celibacy before she will sleep with him again. Even though Evie’s life is threatened by an enemy they have yet to identify, the apprehensive newlyweds must contend with their rising passion and irritation. The fast-paced action and titillating plot twists and trysts will appeal to Kleypas fans.
17. A tale of two souls by Anand Kumar
Anand Kumar is an engineer turned author who surprised the world with their best-selling novel. Up until I ran into her again, I assumed it was all over. To forget her was hurting me, but I couldn’t help but keep falling in love. I caught her grinning and content with him. I waited for her to offer me that one grin while the tears in my eyes begged for release. There are times in life when you have a million reasons to fall in love and only one reason to break up. I had to wait three years to rediscover my soul since I had stepped on it. But what transpired in those three years to her? Does she still adore me? Your heart will continue to fall in love with this passionate love story.
18. You are the best wife- Ajay K. Pandey
This book by Ajay K. Pandey is his first, and that is obvious from the outset. The story is sincere and written passionately despite the author’s plain writing style and occasional struggle with sentence structure. The author Ajay Pandey’s real life and his adored late wife Bhavna served as the inspiration for the narrative. The narrative begins at IERTS, the engineering school where Ajay and Bhavna first met. The narrative details Ajay’s introduction to Bhavna and the lovely progression of their relationship from being complete strangers to friends to lovers. In doing so, the novel also humorously examines how they manage to endure their engineering life. The narrative then shifts to their struggles with cultural hostility to intercaste love marriage. Finally, the book discusses the difficulties of marriage before revealing a tragedy that has been hidden.
19. When Dimple met Rishi- Sandhya Menon
The young adult love story When Dimple Met Rishi (2017) by Indian-American author Sandhya Menon is centered on the developing romance between two Indian-American teenagers when they attend a tech summer camp. It received a lot of appreciation for portraying second-generation teens’ responses to their blended cultures in a realistic and unique way. According to Sandhya Menon in an interview with Bustle, the major reason she wanted to write the book was so that “brown teens could see themselves falling in love, making mistakes, experimenting with art, and being happy.” She contends that the lack of favorable media portrayals of Indian Americans is detrimental to young people’s self-image. Menon adds something fresh to the young adult genre and South Asian representation in general by crafting a cheerful romance in which the protagonists’ Indian origin is a major theme without standing in the way of their happiness or satisfaction.
20. The girl who knows too much by Vikrant Khanna
Does unconditional love have the power to resurrect the dead? As a result of her grief over her mother’s death, Akshara now spends a lot of time by herself in the local park. A young man named Harry approaches her one day as she is crying uncontrollably.

The story gives Akshara hope that she will be reunited with her mom, who passed away, someday. Harry, however, isn’t who he says he is, and she realizes this very fast. His novel’s characters are similarly ambiguous and surreal. What is he trying to hide, exactly? Exactly why is that, then? Can we believe anything he’s saying?

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a corporate leader, or a creative professional, your personal brand is what defines how others perceive you. It’s about curating a consistent image that aligns with your personal and professional goals.
Key components of personal branding include:
Online Presence: In today’s digital age, your online presence is often the first point of contact for potential clients, employers, or collaborators. This includes your social media profiles, personal website, and any other platforms where you engage with your audience.Content Creation: Sharing valuable content that reflects your expertise and interests is a fundamental part of personal branding. This could be through blog posts, videos, podcasts, or social media updates.Networking: Building relationships with others in your industry is crucial for expanding your influence and reach. Effective networking can enhance your personal brand by associating you with other respected professionals.In India, the personal branding strategy often starts with identifying your unique selling proposition (USP) — what makes you different from others in your field. Once this is clear, the next step is to consistently communicate this message across all your platforms and interactions. The cost of personal branding in India can vary depending on how extensive your efforts are, but the return on investment can be substantial in terms of career growth and opportunities.
Investing in personal branding services can help you craft a strategy that not only highlights your strengths but also aligns with the expectations of your target audience in India. From social media management to content creation and public relations, these services can provide the expertise needed to effectively build and maintain your personal brand. The overall branding cost in India will depend on the scope and scale of these services, but the impact of a well-managed personal brand can be invaluable.
Why is Personal Branding Important in India?
Personal branding has become essential for those looking to stand out in India. With over 1.3 billion people, competition is intense across all sectors, making it vital to create a unique identity that resonates with your target audience. But why is personal branding so important in India?
One of the main reasons personal branding holds such significance in India is the sheer number of professionals and entrepreneurs vying for attention. Whether you’re a corporate executive, startup founder, or creative artist, standing out in a crowded market is crucial. A strong personal brand helps build credibility, showcase expertise, and attract opportunities that might otherwise pass by unnoticed.
2. The Rise of Online PlatformsThe increasing use of online platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter has further highlighted the importance of personal branding in India.

Personal branding is a necessity in India. Whether your goal is to advance in your career, grow your business, or build a lasting legacy, your personal brand is a vital asset that can help you achieve your objectives.
Factors Influencing the Cost of Personal Branding in IndiaThe cost of personal branding in India can vary significantly based on several key factors. Understanding these factors will help you make an informed decision when investing in personal branding services. Here’s a detailed look at what influences the cost of building and maintaining a personal brand in India.
1. Level of Expertise of the Service ProviderOne of the primary factors affecting the cost of personal branding in India is the level of expertise offered by the service provider. High-profile agencies or consultants with a proven track record of successful personal branding campaigns typically charge more. These professionals bring valuable experience, industry insights, and a network of contacts that can enhance your personal branding strategy. On the other hand, freelancers or less established agencies might offer lower rates but may not provide the same level of expertise.
2. Scope of Services OfferedThe range of services included in your personal branding package also plays a crucial role in determining the cost. Basic packages might include services like social media management, while more comprehensive packages could cover content creation, public relations, personal website development, and even crisis management. The more extensive the services, the higher the cost of personal branding in India. For instance, content creation alone can involve blog writing, video production, and graphic design, all of which add to the overall expense.
3. Individual Goals and IndustryYour specific goals and the industry you operate in can also influence the cost of personal branding. For example, a corporate executive seeking to build a strong online presence may require different strategies and services compared to a creative professional or entrepreneur. Additionally, industries like technology, entertainment, and finance might demand more specialized personal branding services, leading to higher costs.
4. Reputation of the Agency or ConsultantThe reputation of the agency or consultant you choose is another factor that significantly impacts the cost of personal branding in India. Established agencies with a portfolio of high-profile clients usually charge premium rates. Their reputation often comes with access to media contacts, influencer networks, and strategic partnerships that can elevate your personal brand. While these services come at a higher cost, they often deliver more substantial results.
5. Geographical LocationThe geographical location of the service provider can also affect the cost of personal branding in India. Metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore generally have higher service fees due to the higher cost of living and the concentration of top-tier professionals. In contrast, personal branding services in smaller cities or towns may be more affordable, though the level of expertise might differ.
Understanding the factors that influence the cost of personal branding in India is essential for making an informed decision. Whether you’re opting for basic social media management or a comprehensive branding package, the costs will vary based on the expertise of the service provider, the scope of services, your individual goals, the reputation of the agency or consultant, and even the location. By carefully considering these factors, you can select the right personal branding services that align with your budget and objectives.

Selecting the right personal branding service in India is a crucial step towards building a strong and impactful personal brand. With numerous options available, making the right choice can seem overwhelming. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this process and find the service provider that best aligns with your goals and needs.
1. Evaluate Experience and Expertise
The first step in choosing a personal branding service in India is to assess the experience and expertise of the service provider. Look for agencies or consultants who have a proven track record in personal branding, particularly in your industry. Experience matters because seasoned professionals bring a deep understanding of the strategies that work best in different sectors. Ask for case studies or examples of previous work to gauge their effectiveness in helping clients achieve their branding goals.
2. Review the Portfolio
A comprehensive portfolio can provide valuable insights into the service provider’s capabilities. Review their past projects to see if their style and approach align with what you envision for your personal brand. The portfolio should demonstrate a range of services, including content creation, social media management, and public relations. Additionally, pay attention to the quality of work and how well they have tailored their strategies to meet the specific needs of their clients.
3. Check Client Testimonials and Reviews
Client testimonials and reviews offer firsthand insights into the experiences of others who have used the service. Look for reviews on the service provider’s website, social media platforms, and independent review sites. Positive testimonials from satisfied clients are a good indicator of the service provider’s ability to deliver on their promises. Additionally, consider reaching out to past clients to ask about their experiences and the results they achieved through the service.
4. Understand the Scope of Services
Personal branding in India encompasses a wide range of services, from social media management to content creation and public relations. When selecting a service provider, it’s important to understand the scope of services they offer. Ensure that the services align with your specific needs. For example, if you require extensive media outreach or video content creation, confirm that the provider has the necessary expertise and resources to deliver these services effectively.
5. Assess Customization and Flexibility
Every individual’s branding needs are unique, and the right personal branding service should offer a level of customization that reflects this. Assess how flexible the service provider is in tailoring their strategies to your personal goals. A one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to yield the best results, so prioritize agencies or consultants who demonstrate a willingness to adapt their services to suit your needs.
6. Consider Pricing and Budget
Pricing is a critical factor when choosing a personal branding service in India. While it’s important to stay within your budget, remember that the cheapest option is not always the best. Consider the value offered by the service provider in relation to their pricing. A higher investment may be justified if it leads to better results and a more impactful personal brand. Be sure to ask for a detailed breakdown of costs and compare this with the services offered to ensure you are getting good value for your money.
7. Research Reputation and Success Stories
Finally, research the reputation of the personal branding service provider. A well-regarded agency or consultant with industry recognition and success stories is more likely to deliver the results you need. Look for awards, industry partnerships, and media coverage that highlight their achievements. Additionally, consider their thought leadership in the field—are they recognized as experts in personal branding?
Choosing the right personal branding service in India requires careful consideration of multiple factors, including experience, portfolio, client testimonials, scope of services, customization, pricing, and reputation. By thoroughly evaluating these elements, you can select a service provider that aligns with your goals and helps you build a powerful and effective personal brand.

How to create Google Knowledge Panel in no time in 2025 [Verified]
Last updated: April 22, 2025
With generation, people change their traits of transmuting energy, and with that also evolves their search habit. 8 years ago any google search you made would have reflected back results that simply matched the keywords you used. It was like looking up for something in a library catalogue, you needed to optimize your search keywords to get results that you are looking for.
In 2012 google got a bit smarter, as it does with each of its search algorithm updates and introduced knowledge graphs. What a knowledge panel or knowledge graph does is put the concept of open data over the web to provide rich, informative and relevant search result pages. It is focused on answering all questions that follow up after a search on a pretext has been made in a SERP(Search Engine Result Page) making google search receptive and friendly for users.
They devised an infobox that we see on the top right corner each time we search something on google about businesses, websites, personas and even meerkats .
Google uses LSI(Latent Semantic Indexing) to understand the searcher’s intent and figures out the relation between terms and their implications to present the most relevant answer to it. It does this by citing information from multiple authoritative existing databases such as wikipedia, freebase and cia world factbook.
Having a hoarding that shows you brand information is cool but they are as much propitious too. Having a knowledge panel for your business or website can do miracles in driving traffic. Suppose you have a garage shop where you repair, modify and customize vehicles. Google can put up your knowledge graph on any search made relating to customized build garages around you. This can boost your customer turn up or swerve traffic to your site and social media accounts just through a click from the SERP, chiefly boosting your business.
Google likes few things on the basis of which it leverages your business. The primary concern for Google is to quench the searcher’s curiosity on a subject. The better your site is at solving their problems, the more it is appreciated by google.
So it is important to make a site that people would like and feel useful. It is also important to have a fast, responsive and attractive site that basically is more SEO friendly for the keywords you want your brand to appear on the knowledge panel. Remember for each search, google adds data to its database. And for each problem shared by the user, there has to be someone promoted on the knowledge panel, so if your business solves that, why not be there.
Google is ambivalent as to the criteria for businesses to appear in the knowledge panel. But these are assertive steps that expedites the process.
Wikipedia
Wikipedia is inarguably one of the biggest databases that is present at the time and Google seems to depend a lot on it for building up its knowledge graph. Having a wikipedia page itself means your site or business is notable(much on it later) and is likely to have a knowledge panel as well. But in case you don’t have a wiki page on your site, you can log in to wikipedia and make a profile on your company.
To do this, a)click edit on any accessible page b)surround the page title you want to create in double brackets. E.g. [[proposed title]] c)click on the show preview button d)click on the red link, or use any of the other methods suggested in this wiki page.
Wikidata and freebase
Wikidata and freebase are another knowledge base that act as data patrons for google. Wikidata is a subsidiary of Wikimedia(just like wikipedia) and functions just as wikipedia does. Create a brand profile in wikidata and add a reference to your freebase profile using freebase identifier. Having a profile of your company on wikidata and freebase can help google find more reliable places to derive references from.
Schema markup
Once you have made your site loved by humans, you need it to be loved by search engines too. Schema.org lets you add a template of codes to your website that can make certain data of your site structured. As a result, it is easier for search engines to retrieve useful information from your site to be listed in knowledge graphs.
Social media pages
Google claims to dig deeper in search of your presence on the web. In the recent updates data acquired through social media sites is more emphasized. Sites like linkedin, bloomberg, crunchbase are the new favourites of google.
Having an active account in social media sites not just helps your company knowledge panel provide people easy access to potential customers, they also help improve your sites credibility and recognizability. There should be active engaging accounts on sites such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and preferably more. This is what Amit Singhal said on May 16, 2012 in this article.
Depth and breadth
While all these influence your company’s knowledge panel, your businesses notability is the most important factor. The wiki’s criteria for notability is significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Google News also plays a role in your credibility as a notable business for google. Creating backlinks is an effective way of not just improving your site’s rank in the SERP, but also to make its presence wider over the web. It is a feature that is important for your site to perform well in SEO too.
The more you are notable on the web, the better chances you have of appearing at the knowledge panel.
Here is wiki’s notability criteria.
