My journey

I started in the engine room of an oil tanker.

I sailed as a marine engineer on oil tankers. Then I quit sailing to become an entrepreneur. Since then I have co-founded VerifyU, started a web studio, and helped many business owners grow with better websites, systems and AI.

If I could change course from the middle of the ocean, you can change yours from wherever you are. You don't need a tech background or a perfect plan. You need to start, with someone in your corner who has made the leap.

What I'm building: VerifyU

A face scan that can save a life.

When someone is hurt, or living with dementia and can't say who they are, VerifyU tells the people helping them who they are, what they need and who to call. It's what we believe is the world's first facial-recognition emergency identity app, growing across India and now going global.

  • Presented to senior government and health officials
  • Partnered with SACTEM on golden-hour emergency care
  • Exhibitions, city runs, health camps and campus drives

What a client says

“What used to take hours now happens in minutes.”

I'm very impressed with the work Prakhar Pathak did for me.

He set up and implemented a sales process that runs smoothly and delivers real results. It's clear and structured, and it works without constant attention from me.

He also built my lead generation system: landing pages, questionnaires, email automations, and a LinkedIn strategy that brings more qualified conversations from my new network.

On top of that, he automated my report generation, proposals, and presentations, and created a graphics and infographics tool tailored to my niche. What used to take hours now happens in minutes, and the output looks professional every time.

The biggest win is efficiency. My business runs tighter, and I depend far less on VAs for work that is now automated.

Prakhar thinks in systems, executes well, and follows through. I recommend him to any founder or business owner who wants a sales and lead generation engine that works and automates processes and systems.

Replies within one working day

Does Claude send the messages for me?

It can, at a daily limit you choose, or it drafts and you send. LinkedIn restricts automated activity, so we decide together on the first call.

Do I need to be technical to run Claude?

No. If you can copy, paste and send a message, you can run it. The second session is practice with me.

Is the coaching open to clients outside India?

Yes, over Zoom or Google Meet. Prices show in USD, or INR for buyers in India.

Who owns the setup?

You do, once it is paid. Claude and other tool plans stay your own accounts.

What if the coaching is not for me?

Services are refunded in full if you cancel before the first session. Read the refund policy
