About

➔ I started Goodly after 4 years in Investment Banking as an Analyst. ➔ Those years made me really good at three things: Excel, data presentation and communication. ➔ Initially I offered these skills in any shape or form, to anyone who would pay whatever money. ➔ I got lucky and started running corporate training sessions for some of the top companies in India. ➔ Companies like BMW, Kotak, Nivea, Parle, HP, Aditya Birla, Everstone and Avendus, to name a few. ➔ The trainings went well and a lot of consulting work followed, mostly automation and dashboards. ➔ In 2020 Covid struck and all of it stopped. ➔ I had learnt a lot from the training and consulting work, and now I had time on my hands. So I started making YouTube videos. ➔ I got lucky again. The channel picked up and my videos reached places I had never heard of. It is now at 140,000 subscribers and over 20 million views. ➔ People started asking me to teach a course. The courses business began. ➔ Slowly I built a full fledged content system and the team behind it. ➔ More consulting work started coming in, now from all over the world. ➔ In 2024 I started a second company, Goodly Insights, an independent consulting practice, with a long time friend. ➔ Along the way I wrote a book, Power Query Beyond the User Interface, and I now speak at Excel summits in London and Sofia. ➔ We are growing thoughtfully and delivering learning and consulting work that the best companies keep coming back for.
