Yash Verma: From a Slum Boy to a Self-Made

Hi, I’m Yash Verma – a Content Strategist, Entrepreneur, and AI Consultant, on a mission to help creators, especially podcasters, build powerful content ecosystems using technology, storytelling, and strategy.

My journey didn’t start with resources. It started with a dream.

Born in a low-income family with no access to formal education, I faced countless rejections, doubts from family, and the limitations of growing up in a small space in Bhopal. But deep down, I always believed one thing: technology can be the great equalizer — and I’ve built my life around proving that true.

Early Life: Growing Up with Nothing but Determination

I didn’t have a college degree. I didn’t have fancy tools. Heck, my first video was shot in a washroom, because I didn’t have a studio or a professional camera setup. My relatives thought I’d end up earning ₹5,000/month forever. Even my own father advised me to settle for a local photocopy job.

But I said no.
Not because I was brave. But because I knew — I’m made for more.

So, I taught myself everything — from typing on a keyboard to editing videos, building AI workflows, managing digital campaigns, and creating content that now reaches millions.

The Grind Nobody Sees

When I started, I worked 12+ hours a day for just ₹7,000/month. While others clocked out at 6 PM, I kept learning till 10 PM. Not because I had to, but because I couldn’t stop. That obsession with learning became my biggest advantage.

I failed a lot. Got ignored a lot.
But I never quit.

Eventually, my skills caught up with my dreams. And then, everything started changing.

Building My First Big Win: SOCIAL KRAFT

Today, I’m the Founder of Socialkraft, an AI-driven content marketing & digital innovation agency based in Bhopal. What started from my bedroom is now a 20+ member team, helping brands scale using:

• Content Strategy
• AI Automation
• Video Editing & Production
• SEO + Social Media
• Research-Driven Campaigns

We’ve worked with over 25 creators, crossed 100+ million views, and helped 10 million+ users through our collective content across domains like Finance, Healthcare, Marketing, EdTech, and Career development.

What I Really Do (In Simple Terms)

I help creators, podcasters, entrepreneurs, and digital businesses:

• Build systems that automate content production using AI
• Create storytelling frameworks that connect emotionally
• Grow audiences on YouTube, Podcasts, and Social
• Plan and execute digital roadmaps that turn chaos into clarity
• Drive revenue through strategy, not just trends

And all of that… without needing huge teams or massive ad budgets.

From ₹7,000/Month to ₹70,000 per Session

When I started speaking, people didn’t care much. I wasn’t fluent. I wasn’t confident. I’d get ignored at events.

Now, I speak at TEDx, WordCamp, BNest Startup Summits, and more — earning up to ₹70,000/session, simply because people see the value in practical, tested knowledge.

I’ve also trained 500+ students, worked with 80,000+ users during COVID, and helped brands like Think Robotics, Career Group, SWIPE, and others go digital the right way.

TEDx Talk: The Rise of the One-Person Billion-Dollar Company

I believe AI is changing the world — and anyone can build a business with minimal resources today.

My TEDx talk focuses on how:

• One person can run a full company using AI tools
• Why AI won’t replace humans — it’ll amplify us
• Why mindset + technology is the ultimate combo
• How to scale businesses with zero office, zero employees, and zero investors

It’s not hype. It’s happening. And I’ve lived it.

My Personal Philosophy

A few things I live by:

💡 Smart Work > Hard Work

You can work 18 hours a day and still stay stuck. But 4 hours of smart, focused work using AI tools can 10x your output.

💡 Money is a Tool, Not a Goal

Chase freedom. Impact. Experiences. Money follows.

💡 “Why” Comes Before “How”

Before planning execution, know why you want it. Write it. Say it. Visualize it.

💡 Your Network = Your Net Worth

Treat people well. Talk with them. Listen deeply. You’ll learn and grow more than any course.

• I love researching new tech.
• I talk to people to inspire and get inspired.
