Built through trial, not talent alone

Suraj’s journey online didn’t start with a plan — it started in 2018, experimenting on Blogger, then testing the limits of Google Sites before realizing a hosted platform couldn’t give him full creative control. His first real website came in 2019: a self-hosted WordPress news site he ran for a full year before it fizzled out.

The years after weren’t easy. More than 20 domains were bought, built on, and let go — some lost simply because renewal payments didn’t come through in time. One of them, surajdivyakirti.com, was an early attempt at personal-brand digital marketing that never found its footing. Each attempt taught him something the last one hadn’t.

Along the way, he built real skills to back the persistence: a Google Digital Marketing (Digital Garage) certification in 2022, and Anthropic’s Claude AI 101 certification in 2026. Today, that accumulated experience feeds directly into techdg.in — his AI and tech publication, and the one he’s betting will finally be the one that sticks.
