Hi I’m Yash, I began my journey in digital marketing at an early age of 18 years and since then I have gathered knowledge enriched multi-industry experience and diverse insights across businesses. Working in this industry, I realized that companies aren't really able to reach out to all their ideal leads of the targeted market. Being in a competitive market and not able to seize all your warm/hot leads via digital interactions can make you lose 50% of your leads in the hands of your competitors. That’s where I founded Leads N Latte a full service Growth Marketing Company focusing all around Organic Growth, Lead Generation via LinkedIn, Personal Branding & Some Parts of Paid Marketing.
