The engineer who
became a marketer.

My name is Ritik Verma. I built 7SEA Marketing, but honestly, I never planned to.

I grew up in New Delhi, and back in school, I just loved clicking photos. Not for likes, not for money, just because I genuinely enjoyed it. Somewhere along the way, people started paying me for it. That was my first lesson: if you're good at something and you care about it, the world finds a way to reward you.

In 2019, I started my B.Tech at Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, Delhi. Life was full college, cameras, figuring things out. Then 2020 happened.

COVID hit. Everything stopped. And something in me started. Stuck at home like everyone else, I launched a YouTube channel gaming content, just for fun. 11,000 subscribers later, the channel was monetized. I didn't plan that either. But it showed me something important: I could build an audience. I could make people care.

That's when I stumbled into digital marketing. Meta Ads. SEO. Social media strategy. I was hooked. I started freelancing reaching out on LinkedIn, Freelancer.com, wherever I could.

That $10 meant everything. It meant someone, somewhere in the world, trusted my work enough to pay for it. That feeling never really left me. My first clients were small. The work was scrappy. But I was learning faster than I ever had in a classroom.

I was in my second year of engineering, running client campaigns at midnight. I wouldn't trade those years for anything. After finishing my B.Tech in 2023, I went back to school on my own terms. MBA in Marketing and Finance from Akhilesh Das Gupta Institute of Professional Studies, New Delhi. Not because I needed a degree to validate what I was doing, but because I wanted to understand business deeply not just ads and campaigns, but strategy, finance, the full picture.

From August 2020 to today, I've worked with people from the UK, US, Australia, Germany, Austria clients across 25+ countries. Every project taught me something. Every market humbled me. Different cultures, different buyer behaviours, different platforms but the same truth everywhere: people buy from people they trust. Great marketing just makes that trust possible at scale.

7SEA Marketing isn't just an agency to me. It's everything I've built since that kid with a camera decided to figure things out. I believe great marketing comes from genuine curiosity about people, about markets, about what actually moves someone to act. That's what we bring to every brand we work with.

If you've made it this far. I'd love to hear your story too.
