Shikha Pakhide

I was done.
I'd just reviewed the same content piece for the fifth time.
The copy wasn't quite right. The creative missed the mark. The tone felt off.
And this wasn't a one-off problem.
Running ShikhaShikz , a demand generation company with a lean team meant endless review cycles across multiple client accounts. Even when a post was "almost ready," it often drifted away from brand guidelines.
The cost wasn't just time.
It was focus.
Instead of spending more time on strategy and growth, I was spending it reviewing drafts, leaving comments, and repeating feedback.
So I asked my co-founder 3 simple questions:
1 How do we reduce review cycles without compromising quality?
2 How do we give teams the feedback they need without founder approval becoming a bottleneck?
3 And how do we remove creator bias, the natural tendency to believe our first or second version is already good enough?
More importantly, I wanted a system where brand came first.
Because brand is what drives demand.
That challenge led to the creation of OpenMarketer
An AI-Powered Marketing Operations System built to help founders, marketers, and agencies create content that stays aligned with their/ clients brand while dramatically reducing the time spent reviewing and reworking assets.
The goal was simple:
1 Spend less time reviewing.
2 Spend more time growing.
3 Without compromising what your brand stands for.
Early access is now open and currently available in India.

During today s standup meeting, an idea came up about improving our presence on Reddit (for LLM search visibility and similar reasons).

One of the suggestions was to look for high-karma accounts and possibly buy them to appear more credible when posting and mentioning the product within the posts/comments. It s a tactic, sure, but to me it already feels like it crosses an ethical line. I sometimes worry they can seriously damage a company s reputation.
