Entrepreneur, digital marketing and social media expert Sorav Jain was named one among Top 100 Digital Marketing Influencers last year by Twitter. His book #BecomeABrand is a reflection of his career graph and the learnings from his journey.

What is a brand? How is it important?
Brand means identity -a distinct identity that has been developed because of regular efforts to communicate. Going beyond a memorable logo, good branding increases the value of a company, provides employees with direction and motivation, and makes acquiring new customers easier.
What role does Digital Marketing play in a business?
It is all about identifying your client’s business problems and giving them a solution online on the platform they are most available on. It could be search-specific or social media-specific.
On his book Social Media for Business:
The book, released in 2012, was about how you can use various digital platforms aka social media to develop your business. Recently, I authored a new book #BecomeABrand, which is useful for anyone seeking to develop personal branding using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Quora, YouTube, LinkedIn, Blogging and Podcasting.
On his free Hindi/English Digital Marketing courses:
I can train thousands of people on my website www.SoravJain.com, and I have been getting great responses.
What is your company EchoVME about? What does it do?
EchoVME helps businesses scale digitally; we help businesses by setting up niche websites and giving ‘crazy’ creative ideas that allow them to grow their business ten times more.
On his future goals:
My goal is to take my training company Digital Scholar to the next level and start an online version. I also want to partner with premium clients looking for digital solutions.
