There was a time I thought my life was over—not in a dramatic way, but in a quiet, suffocating sense. I was once a college student, full of dreams, until life happened.

Marriage came early, followed by pregnancy. My priorities shifted overnight. I dropped out of college, telling myself, "I’ll go back someday." But as the years passed, that someday faded into the background. Family responsibilities took over, and somewhere along the way, I forgot what it felt like to dream for myself.

Then came the accident. A freak incident left me bedridden for weeks. I had too much time to think—too much time to realize I was stuck. I no longer knew who I was or what I wanted.

One day, during a casual conversation, my cousin mentioned something called DG8LY and SEO. I laughed it off. "I don’t even have a degree. How could I learn something so technical?" But that night, as I lay awake, a small voice in my head whispered: What if?

Taking that first step was terrifying. I walked into the DG8LY classroom, feeling completely out of place. I didn’t even know what SEO stood for! But my trainers were patient. They broke everything down, encouraged me at every step, and believed in me—long before I started believing in myself.

Slowly, I started seeing progress. The tools I once feared became my best friends. The confidence I thought I’d lost forever started coming back. And little by little, I began to feel like myself again.

Today, I’m proud to say that I work at a reputed SEO agency in Pathanamthitta. No degree. No prior experience. Just the knowledge, skills, and confidence I gained at DG8LY.

Looking back, I realize that a single decision—to take a chance on myself—changed my life.

Hi, I’m Nandan, a mechanical engineering graduate. If you had told me a year ago that I’d be deeply involved in digital marketing, I wouldn’t have believed you. But life has a way of surprising us.  

It all started when my plans to study abroad got delayed. I suddenly found myself with extra time and no clear direction. I was eager to make the most of this unexpected break but had no idea where to start. That’s when I started hearing about digital marketing—how people were building successful careers, launching businesses, and even working remotely with just a laptop and internet connection. At first, I was skeptical. Coming from an engineering background, the idea of stepping into marketing felt completely foreign.  

But curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to explore it further. That’s when I found DG8LY. Something about their approach felt different—practical, hands-on, and focused on real-world skills. So, I took the leap and enrolled in their course. Looking back, I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  

The experience was nothing short of transformative. I didn’t just learn digital marketing; I discovered a whole new passion. From understanding SEO to running ad campaigns, every lesson felt like unlocking a new world of possibilities. The best part? The learning wasn’t just theoretical—it was practical, engaging, and tailored to prepare us for real challenges.  

As I now revisit my plans to study abroad, I no longer feel uncertain about my career path. I know that digital marketing isn’t just a temporary skill for me—it’s my future. Whether I work for a top company or build something of my own, I’m confident that this knowledge will always be an asset.  

Sometimes, the best decisions are the ones you never see coming. What started as an unexpected detour has turned into a journey I’m truly excited about. Thank you, DG8LY, for not just teaching me a skill but helping me find a new direction in life.
