Shridhar Gowda
Founder & CEO, DigiKartz
Bangalore-based digital marketing entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience helping SMBs, SaaS startups, and D2C brands grow through search, content, and performance marketing.
15 Years of Marketing.
One Mission: SMB Growth.
Shridhar founded DigiKartz in 2023 after a 12-year career across in-house marketing leadership and agency consulting. He’s led marketing for Bangalore SaaS companies through Series A and B fundraises, scaled D2C brands from ₹10L to ₹5Cr monthly revenue, and helped manufacturers transition from offline-only sales to inbound digital lead generation.
He started DigiKartz because the Bangalore agency market was failing SMBs — premium agencies overcharged, cheap freelancers underdelivered. DigiKartz fills that gap: agency-quality execution at SMB-friendly prices, with complete transparency and month-to-month flexibility.
- SaaS marketing strategy — CAC, LTV, multi-touch attribution
- D2C / e-commerce growth — Meta Ads, retention, brand storytelling
- Bangalore local SEO and Google Business Profile mastery
- Content marketing — topic clusters, founder thought leadership
