Sahil Saudagar (Hindi: साहिल सौदागर) am an Indian entrepreneur, founder, and owner of Infosized, a go-to partner for coaches and creators who want to build a product, set up a community, and sell what they know. I am self taught. YouTube was my education and I have never paid for information, because all of it already sits on the internet for free.

As of 2026 I am 21 and based in Jodhpur. The path here ran through a YouTube channel I deleted, a broken femur, two shut-down agencies, two internships I walked out of, and about eighteen months of being broke while I learned a skill. The business only started paying in the third year.

Early life

I was born on 11 January 2005 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, and I grew up there. It is a beautiful city and a small one, and for most of my childhood I did not see much beyond it. I am the eldest of two. My father comes from a business background, my mother had the usual expectations, and my sister and I moved house more than once. There are two cats now.

I was a quiet kid. Shy, polite, and never able to make friends easily. I could get along with anyone, but I never settled into a group that already existed, so I ended up forming my own and finding my own people. That happened everywhere I went.

The thing that shaped me most was learning to communicate early. I was observant, and I was mature younger than I should have been, which meant I was making my own decisions before anyone expected me to. English is the reason I can speak to most of the people I work with. I can speak Hindi but I cannot really read or write it, because it was never where my attention went. English was the one subject I cared about learning properly, and it turned out to be the foundation of everything after.

Everyone around me assumed I would be the studious one. Finish college, get a job. My mother still holds some of that, and I do not hold it against her.

Early experiments (2018-2022)

Tech Home

My interest in the internet and in making money showed up in 8th standard, around 2018. I started a YouTube channel called Tech Home. I made how-to videos, unboxing videos of whatever I had just bought for myself, and app reviews.

It ran for a couple of months and reached 64 subscribers. I did not have a good phone or a good laptop, and after a while I just forgot about it. I have since deleted every video on the channel.

Photoshop and art

In 2020, during COVID, I started using my old laptop to learn Photoshop from a YouTube channel called GFX Mentor. I made manipulation art, the kind where you stack a pile of images together until they become one picture. Then I learned Illustrator. I posted all of it on Instagram without really knowing what I was doing.

People noticed. Big creators commented on the work, and the Creative Director app featured one of my images on their Instagram story. It ran for a couple of months until the laptop could not keep up and everything started lagging.

2018 was the first attempt. 2020 was the year the needle actually moved.

Trading and dropshipping

Before any of the client work, still on the same old laptop, I tried trading. I lost a lot of money. I tried dropshipping after that and found the margins were not worth it.

Both taught me the same thing. Trading needs capital before it can do anything for you, even a little. A service business needs no capital at all. It needs a skill and the willingness to work. That is the whole reason I ended up where I did.

Education

I studied from 1st to 12th standard at Sanskar International School, Jodhpur, and finished in 2023. I was a decent student. Not smart, not talented, somewhere in the okay middle. What I did have was a lot of interests at once and the habit of asking why.

I hate maths and I do not like physics, which is why I never went near science. In 11th I took commerce because I was already interested in business. I expected school to teach me something about that and it mostly did not. I still had a good time there and I still miss those days.

After 12th I joined Aishwarya College of Education in Jodhpur for a BBA. Six months in, the accident put me in bed and I could not attend. Once I had recovered enough I got myself to the examination centre and sat my first semester papers. I never went back after that.

The accident (2023)

On 23 November 2023 I came off my motorcycle and broke my femur. A week in hospital, then six months of bed rest. For the first three of those I could not walk at all. I lost the bike in the same crash, which is why I spent the next year cycling everywhere.

It was rock bottom. I was 18, stuck in a bed, completely helpless, with nothing to do and nowhere to go. It was also the luckiest thing that happened to me, because being unable to leave the house is what finally made me desperate enough to figure out how to make money.

First attempts (2024)

I did not own a laptop that could do anything. I borrowed 50,000 rupees from my mother to buy one, on the argument that I could not make money without it, and with the understanding that she was getting it back.

Then I asked around. A friend from school, someone I spoke to maybe twice a year, had messaged to ask about the accident. I asked him what he was doing. He said video editing, and that he was charging between 100 and 2,000 dollars. This was a person who had sat in the same classroom as me and was not a better communicator than me, and he was making money. So I kept asking questions until I understood it.

I had no editing skill, so I asked if I could get him clients instead. He said yes, for a cut, and told me how people find clients. Cold outreach. You message them and you sell.

My first idea was an Instagram page called Digimedia Creatives, and I started messaging adult content creators, on the logic that there was money there. Nobody replied. It was a childish way to think about it. I was new, so I do not judge myself for it. I shut the page down.

The second attempt was Sleeky Cre8ves. I built it properly this time: a website, an Instagram page, a portfolio. Then I started reaching out to fitness coaches and traders.

The first fifty dollars

On the third day of outreach, a trading channel said yes. One video project, 50 dollars, my first international payment, about 4,000 rupees into PayPal. The client was in Australia. I had no editing skill at all and I still got the job done.

After that I worked mostly with Indian clients, including a few creators in the 100,000 to 400,000 follower range across self improvement, fitness and nutrition. Somewhere in there I found out that coaches sell ebooks. I started pitching them on it: I would get on a call, understand their material, draft the ebook, and we would publish it. That was my favourite work of the whole period, and it is how I first stepped into the information business.

Learning the skill

I was charging very little and I was losing clients, because I could not get them results. I had sold work without having a skill, and it caught up with me. I paid my mother back about 30,000 rupees around this time.

So I stopped selling and started learning. Marketing first, from YouTube, since that was what I had been doing for everyone anyway. Then I found out copywriting existed, that writing things and sending them to people was a job, and I went at that. YouTube again, plus whatever courses I could find on Telegram, because I could not afford to buy them. I have still never paid for information.

That cost me six months of being broke.

Two internships

To test the skill I took an internship at a company called TTBTE in October 2024, writing LinkedIn posts for the founder. Ten days, 6,000 rupees, and I left. The pay was part of it and the rest was knowing it was not the thing I wanted to be doing.

I shut down Sleeky Cre8ves. Then I built a funnel idea for fitness coaches, an ebook feeding into a course launch, and pitched it to a lot of people. Not one of them was interested. Another six months went by and I was broke again.

In January 2025 I joined Mediagarh as an unpaid copywriting intern. They were a big company and I went in expecting to find someone who could teach me to write properly. The office was 3 kilometres away and I had no vehicle, so I cycled 6 kilometres a day on roads that are not built for cycling.

I lasted two weeks. Everyone there was running everything through ChatGPT. There was no senior copywriter, nobody with a real skill to learn from. So I left that too.

Infosized (2025-present)

I walked out of Mediagarh in February 2025 and started Infosized the same month. After a year of trying things, I stopped trying things. The name comes from information and synthesized.

By then I understood funnels and I understood copy. The plan was narrow on purpose: help coaches and creators turn what they know into something they can sell.

March 2025

March is when it turned. I was at a low point and fed up, and I went back to the only thing that had ever worked, which was cold email and cold DMs sent the same way I sent them when I closed my first client.

Eight calls booked in that one month. Between March and April I made 1,15,000 rupees, and closed my first 1,000 dollar client. For a kid who decided in 8th standard that he wanted to earn in dollars, that number mattered more than the money did.

I ran three to four clients at once, alone. LinkedIn for some. Meta ads, information products and inbound and outbound systems for others. Appointment setting and inbox management for one. Course building for another. None of it got boring because none of it was the same.

Then I started losing clients again. One stayed nine months.

Patiala

In August I moved to Patiala, Punjab, and lived there for three months with Shourya and Mohd Sahil, two friends who run their own agencies. A founder house. The idea was to leave home and get locked in.

I closed no clients there. What I did do was work properly for the first time in a while, and enjoy it, which was its own kind of information. For about a month and a half I understood what work feels like when you actually want to be doing it.

I also started uploading to YouTube again, teaching copywriting, funnels and outreach. I came back to Jodhpur around the first of November, and then the business went quiet until March.

Five months at Empowrd AI (2026)

In March 2026 a referral got me hired at Empowrd AI as Social Media Lead, and it turned into running their whole internal marketing. The founder’s personal brand, LinkedIn and YouTube, newsletters, campaign copy, visuals, and the webinars.

The webinars are where the real learning was. I built the slides and the funnel behind them. One of those runs pulled over 100 registrants, held 95 percent retention, and booked 22 calls inside a single hour with no ads behind it.

In May the company flew us to Bali for 20 days. I shot a documentary there, recorded a podcast with the founders, and handled the whole content side because internal marketing was my job. I was let go in July over internal things. Five months in total.

So I went back to my own business, which is where I am now.

Services

Infosized works with coaches and creators to:

  • launch a business
  • monetise and productise what they know
  • get more clients
  • run webinars end to end
  • build and manage a community

It splits two ways. Ongoing marketing covers LinkedIn, lead magnets, email, webinars, the website, and the inbound and outbound systems behind them. The fuller version adds course creation and launch, and community setup and management, fully managed.

Tools

I have started building software, mostly because I kept doing the same thing by hand every day.

  • spamcheck.infosized.co is free and public. Paste a subject line and a body and it flags the words that will put you in the spam folder before a filter does. No signup.
  • A lead tracker for the agency, one row per lead, built because replies and Loom views land weeks after a send and wreck any daily rate you try to read. Not public yet.

Method

I review every lead by hand. Five or six prospects a day, 45 to 60 minutes of research each, then a message written for that one person. It is slow. I would rather send ten real messages than a thousand that read like a template, because the thing people respond to is evidence you actually looked, and there is no cheap way to fake that.

Four things hold the rest of it together. Consistency over perfection. Systems over random effort. Execution over theory. Learning by doing instead of waiting to feel ready.

I have never paid for information. Everything I know came off YouTube and off getting it wrong first. The barrier to entry has never been lower than it is now with AI, and the strange result of that is that most people stopped working hard for the thing they said they wanted.

Writing and poetry

Between September and November 2023, flat on my back with a broken leg, I started writing poetry. It was the only way I had to get anything out.

That is where I learned what writing actually is. If you can explain how you feel clearly enough to move someone, you can get a person to do almost anything. Poetry taught me that, and copywriting is the same skill pointed at a different outcome. The line runs straight from there to information products, to webinars, to selling live on a call.

I still write poetry, less often now. It goes on an Instagram page called Bayaasepare. I do not post it for an audience. I post it so it exists somewhere.

My rule for everything else is that good writing is clean writing. Simple words for complicated ideas. If a sixth grader cannot follow it, I wrote it for my ego. Things I avoid: fake scarcity, recycled quotes, jargon, and unedited AI copy. They all read the same way, which is that the person did not care enough to write it themselves.

Personal life

I value freedom above most things, and honesty is the first thing I look for in a person. I am interested in psychology, and in communication, teaching and learning, which is a large part of why I ended up working in the coaching industry. Explaining an idea to someone who cannot yet see the solution is the part of the job I like.

I live in Jodhpur with two cats. The people I have learned the most from without ever meeting are Dan Koe on writing and Charlie Morgan on how to think about a business.
