I build businesses, teach what I learn, and help founders scale smarter
I am Snehil Prakash, a marketing and GTM leader with 11+ years of experience building SaaS and technology businesses as a founder, employee and consultant. SEO is my core expertise: I connect search visibility, content and conversion with distribution, sales systems and revenue. Alongside my founder work at Techlithic, Sendwo and HowToBuySaaS, I am a Venture Partner & Mentor at StartupLanes and hold part-time CTO roles in healthcare technology.
What I do today
My work connects SEO-led acquisition with product, marketing, sales and business ownership. I combine on-page and off-page SEO, backlinks, content development and CRO, then expand through paid acquisition, outbound, email, partnerships and lifecycle marketing. My recent work includes AI SEO, AEO and GEO, supported by CRM workflows, team leadership and commercial execution.

Part-time HealthTech CTO
At MedGuru Labs and TopGlobals Healthcare Services, I lead product requirements, roadmaps, architecture decisions, integrations and AI-assisted delivery from concept to production.
The story behind the founder titles
My journey was not a straight line. It moved through family values, small-town discipline, engineering, early internet experiments, corporate learning, SaaS growth, AI, and business building.
Why this story matters
SnehilTalks is not just my portfolio. It is my digital home for the lessons, mistakes, ventures, systems, and experiences that shaped me as a founder, CEO, venture partner and educator.
Ranchi to Bokaro
Born in Ranchi, raised in Bokaro Steel City
I was born in Ranchi, Jharkhand, but my entire schooling life was spent in Bokaro Steel City. Bokaro gave me a simple but powerful foundation. It taught me discipline, ambition, patience, and the habit of observing people deeply.
I studied at Delhi Public School, Bokaro, and lived with my parents until I completed school. That environment gave me the confidence to dream beyond my surroundings while staying grounded in family values.
Family values
A home shaped by law, education and public service
My father, Anil Kumar, is an income tax advocate from Bokaro. He studied LLM and MBA, and continues to work as a senior advocate. From him, I learned professional discipline, legal thinking, documentation, responsibility and the value of reputation.
My mother studied History deeply, completed BA and double MA in History, worked as a senior professor, later served as Principal of Chas Mahila College, Bokaro, and after leaving her Principal role, served as Chairperson of the Child Welfare Committee under the Government of Jharkhand.
Schooling
School years that built discipline
My schooling at Delhi Public School, Bokaro shaped my early personality. I was surrounded by structure, studies, competition, friendships and the belief that education could open doors beyond the city I grew up in.
Those years were not about startups or business yet. They were about building the confidence to keep learning and the ability to stay committed even when the path ahead was not fully clear.
Jalandhar
From Bokaro to Lovely Professional University
After school, I moved from Bokaro to Jalandhar to study Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Lovely Professional University. It was my first major move away from home.
Engineering gave me exposure, independence and a wider view of the world. Even though my degree was technical, my curiosity was always moving toward the internet, content, business models, marketing and how people build something from zero.
First startup
JobNewsToday and the first online business
After BTech, I built my first startup, JobNewsToday. It was not a polished company in the beginning. It was my learning ground.
As Co-Founder & Marketing Director (March 2015–April 2017), I built content clusters, on-page and off-page SEO, backlinks, affiliate monetization and YouTube SEO. The venture reached 150K monthly organic visits, a 10K+ community and 1,000+ YouTube subscribers within three months.
Delhi and big tech
GlobalLogic, Google-related work and content systems
I moved to Delhi for work and entered the corporate technology world. At GlobalLogic, I worked as a Content Analyst on Google client projects from May 2017 to March 2019.
My work involved training newly onboarded Google raters, auditing content for machine learning, and exposure to areas connected with Google Maps, Google Translate, Google Lens, Google Knowledge Panel and Google Search.
SaaS growth
BaseApp, WPOven, CuteHR and real SaaS execution
As Digital Marketing Manager at BaseApp (April 2019–September 2021), I led growth across WPOven and CuteHR, managing a five-person marketing team and a US$100K annual budget. SEO, content and conversion formed the acquisition foundation, supported by PPC, email and CRM automation.
WPOven grew from 3K to 100K peak monthly traffic and contributed to US$500K ARR. CuteHR launched through SEO with no paid acquisition spend at launch, reached 15K monthly visits and later served 2,500+ businesses. I connected search-led demand with product positioning, onboarding and conversion.
Enterprise marketing
Captivix, enterprise marketing and AI-led positioning
As Head of Marketing at Captivix (September 2021–January 2024), I led marketing across digital transformation, ERP, products, AI and services. I personally built the website around on-page SEO and CRO, then connected off-page SEO, backlinks and content with webinars, paid campaigns, cold email, ABM-style programs and creative direction.
I owned a US$300K annual marketing budget, managed approximately US$6K in monthly advertising spend and contributed to company growth to approximately US$20M ARR. My scope included enterprise positioning, demand generation, vendor coordination, sales enablement and team delivery.
Bengaluru and founder phase
Techlithic, Sendwo and HowToBuySaaS
My founder journey includes Techlithic Solutions, Sendwo and HowToBuySaaS. At Techlithic Solutions LLC, I serve as Digital Marketing Director from September 2023 till present across Sendwo, HowToBuySaaS and services, connecting SEO-led acquisition with product commercialization, distribution, demos and sales workflows. I relocated to Bengaluru in April 2025.
The Techlithic portfolio reached approximately US$0.5M peak ARR, and Sendwo reached 100K peak monthly website visits. Beyond acquisition, my work included product requirements, launch priorities, vendor onboarding, partnerships, customer journeys and commercial operations.
Global marketingCygeniq AI and global enterprise GTM
As Associate Director, Global Marketing at Cygeniq AI, I built and launched an SEO-informed website and content plan within six months for real-time AI security products and cybersecurity services.
I defined ICPs and positioning, developed SDR outreach and CRM handoffs, and managed vendors and channel relationships across the US, Europe, Middle East and APAC.
HealthTech and mentoringHealthcare product leadership and founder mentoring
As part-time CTO at TopGlobals Healthcare Services since February 2024 and MedGuru Labs since May 2026, I lead product requirements, roadmaps, architecture, integrations and AI-assisted delivery. The work covers diagnostic booking, records, reporting, coach and partner workflows, and operational digitization.
Since May 2026, I also serve as Venture Partner & Mentor at StartupLanes, supporting founders with GTM, growth, partnerships and business readiness. My technology leadership focuses on product and delivery ownership.
Consulting and learningConsulting, learning and recognition
My consulting work includes Experiture, Reverie, Metro Auction and EZ.35 across AI SEO, marketing workflows, customer engagement and growth. These engagements sit alongside my longer-term business and marketing leadership roles.
I completed leadership study at IIM Indore, attended Y Combinator Startup School in 2024, authored Digitaltants and received the LPU Prestigious Alumni Award in 2026. I continue to document and teach what I learn through real business execution.
I grew up around law, education, public service and discipline. Later, I built my career around content, technology, SaaS, AI and growth. The common thread has always been simple: build, learn, document, scale and help others grow.
