I’m Vaibhav Rautela, founder of Pli Media and a digital marketing consultant based in India. Since 2009 – 17+ years – I’ve worked across SEO, performance marketing, and MarTech (marketing technology)– and today I help businesses solve a problem I watched for years: hiring the wrong agency or freelancer for the job.
What I do now
Most businesses don’t need another agency pitch – they need the right team for their specific work. I help companies hire digital marketing agencies and freelancers properly: matched to the work, vetted for skill, and managed for results.
Vendor selection & vetting
Agencies and freelancers matched to your exact needs, not whoever shouts loudest.
Marketing audits
Know what’s actually broken before you spend a rupee.
Strategy & oversight
Ongoing guidance so your hired team delivers ROI.
Businesses I run
I don’t just advise businesses; I build them.

How I work
Data-driven, transparent, and direct – you work with me personally, never through layers of account managers. I split my time between Delhi NCR and Haldwani, Uttarakhand, and consult with clients across India.
