Most of us have faced rejection, but not everyone comes out stronger on the other side. My guest today, Pankaj, has battled more than fifty job interviews, led design teams across countries, and discovered that a mix of creativity and sales is key to building real relationships—not just business.

We talk about letting failure teach you, why seeing a customer as a friend matters, and how personal branding on LinkedIn opened new doors for Pankaj’s career. Hear his stories from launching hundreds of projects in India and the UAE, bringing design and tech together, and figuring out how AI fits (and sometimes complicates) today’s workflow.

Pankaj also shares why teaching could be the next chapter, and what he learned about sticking to basics when there’s a flood of information everywhere. If you’ve ever felt stuck, wondered how to really connect with clients, or want honest advice that’s easy to use, this episode is for you.

The internet was served with fresh fodder for internet memes and jokes with the launch of Apple Inc’s new iPhone 11 series. This got everyone talking about the usual cost quotient with ‘kidney jokes’ and the new camera feature. The look of the camera on the new iPhone became the butt of quite a few memes, but it was interesting to see how different brands picked up on it and used it to further their products as a part of the meme marketing culture.

This episode we talk about how apple is converting the memes as their marketing strategy.

This is a clip from a upcoming podcast which i talk about my story of becoming a UI designer.

The podcast all about branding, marketing, design, technology, and whatever else is on Ibrahim's mind.
