Background and practice
From engineering fundamentals to practical business education
Sahil’s published profiles describe a transition from chemical engineering into marketing and management. That combination—systems thinking from engineering and commercial judgment from business—continues to shape how he explains complex ideas.
He founded Intellectual Indies in 2017 and built it into a business-learning content ecosystem covering company case studies, startups, marketing, strategy, and candid founder conversations. He also founded Lapaas, a New Delhi digital-marketing and education business. Sahil describes his entrepreneurial journey as including the eventual exit from the agency he built.
Across workshops, courses, consulting, and digital media, Sahil’s work has reached students, startup founders, legacy-business owners, and operating teams. His primary Intellectual Indies channel has more than one million subscribers. Sahil’s public profiles describe a combined audience above two million across his content ecosystem, while Lapaas course pages report more than 140,000 entrepreneurs reached through its educational work.
At Indies Education, Sahil serves as author and lead educator. Every lesson is designed to go beyond definitions: readers should understand the mechanism, examine evidence and limits, apply a framework, and leave with an action plan and checklist.
