India’s internet population is the second largest in the world. There is a pool of opportunities as the Internet industry is expanding at a rate of more than 20% Year-Over-Year. Therefore, one who is curious and is ready to explore the field of digital marketing is on the advantageous end.
As digital marketing is becoming mainstream in India, the demand for digital marketing is more than what is being supplied. If you are a skilled professional, then you will be required by many companies. The market forces are such that if you don’t leverage upon digital marketing, you will fail. No one would have traditional marketing alone in their marketing strategy because of the inefficiency.
Therefore, people want to know more about the field of digital marketing but expert comments and guidance are difficult to find. This is the reason Digital Vidya launched ‘Ask Digital Vidya’, an online digital marketing helpline.
Experts’ view on Ask Digital Vidya
Pradeep Chopra, CEO of Digital Vidya
“Since 2009, when we launched Digital Vidya, we’ve been answering queries related to various facets of digital marketing. We realized that a very high % of these queries are repetitive or similar in nature. Moreover, we found that best answers to many of these queries are already available with other users, who are interested in helping others. While there are number of generic Q&A or discussion forum platforms such as Quora and few digital marketing related forums, there’s still a definite need for a digital marketing focused community.”
Sanjay Mehta (Joint CEO, Mirum India)
“This is a great initiative by Digital Vidya and will further fuel the growth of digital marketing industry. As one of the mentors, I look forward to my contribution in supporting this initiative.”
Mahesh Murthy, Founder of Pinstorm.
“I’ve known Pradeep and Kapil for over 15 years and even taught a few classes for their students. If Indian marketers are digital-savvy today, Digital Vidya is one big reason. Of course, success breeds imitators – but I haven’t found anybody else offer the type of knowledge and passion that these folks will bring you.”

Gopika: You don’t need to know coding at all to be a successful digital marketing professional. The maximum you need to know is HTML, which takes few hours. Otherwise, your comfort with using tools and technology is good enough.
