Launching My Digital Marketing Training Institute in Chennai – Digital Scholar

When I began my digital marketing journey back in 2006 at the age of 17, I had no idea that a spark of curiosity would evolve into a lifelong calling. Over the years, as I built echoVME Digital — my agency that today has over 150 team members and works with 300+ brands — I realized something important: the world needed not just marketers, but industry-ready digital professionals who could think, create, execute, and lead from day one.

That’s exactly why I launched Digital Scholar — not as a classroom, but as a real-world digital marketing ecosystem where students don’t just learn… they experience, execute, and evolve.

We started with our flagship campus in Chennai, right opposite my agency, echoVME Digital. The idea was simple: let students absorb real agency energy, hear real client calls in the corridor, and watch campaigns go live as they’re learning to build them themselves.

And as the vision grew, so did Digital Scholar.

💡 Why We’re Different

Digital Scholar isn’t theory-heavy. It’s experience-first.

• You’ll work in teams that mimic real agency pods

• Run campaigns with actual ad budgets

• Present strategies to mentors and guest faculty

• Learn directly from ex-IIT, ex-IIM experts, agency founders, and global trainers

• Receive guest lectures from top voices in marketing, tech, branding, and startups

• Graduate with a portfolio, personal brand assets, mock interviews, photoshoots, and most importantly — clarity on your niche

🏆 Why We Expanded to 3 Cities

We didn’t franchise. We built each campus ourselves.

• Chennai was our lab — where we tested, refined, and proved our model.

• Mumbai was our leap into India’s creative capital, where the demand for skilled marketers is exploding.

• Dubai became our global gateway — helping us serve the growing Gulf market and Indian diaspora in the UAE.

No matter where you learn from, the Digital Scholar DNA is the same: real campaigns, real goals, real mentorship, and a path to a real career.

What’s the learning culture like?

I have done my PG in UK, I did my masters in International Marketing Management.

It’s a party!
