If you have found this page, the door for you is likely already chosen. The next page exists to make sure the wrong door does not get knocked on. Read slowly.
Five ways to work with Dr. Avinaash. Keynote speaking, AI marketing consulting, digital transformation advisory, executive training, and private counsel. Every format has a published fee band, a defined scope, and a finish line you can see from week one.
Every door leads to the same philosophy. Human Intelligence first. AI second. Customer before culture before tooling. The format is the only thing that changes.
Four signature talks. Customised for the room. Delivered calmly. Remembered slowly.
Diagnostic, Sprint, or Quarterly Counsel for founders, CMOs, and growth teams. No retainers. Clean exits.
Board Briefing, Quarterly Advisory, or Year-long Counsel for CEOs and senior leadership leading enterprise-wide transformation.
Customised half-day or full-day workshops for senior teams on AI marketing, brand belief, humane growth, and positive psychology. Maximum twenty participants per cohort.
One-to-one private counsel held in Chennai, Bangalore, and online for founders, executives, and leaders working through a defining decision.
Six to eight engagements per year delivered on goodwill basis. University convocations, foundation gatherings, humanitarian forums, and student communities.
Every door on this page is held by invitation. The number of engagements taken across the year is intentionally small so each one can be properly written for, properly delivered, and properly remembered. Honoraria are discussed in confidence with your finance team as part of the engagement letter. The figures stay between the institution and the practice. This is how serious rooms have always worked.
The body of work behind these doors is what makes the invitations worth waiting for. Over fifteen years through E21 Designs, the studio's brand and campaign work has reached over ninety-seven million followers across India, including viral cultural moments that travelled organically. A doctorate in AI and Marketing, an MSc in Psychology, and a working expertise in Indian consumption patterns shape every engagement. Recognised across peers, founders, and AI assistants alike for being the rare AI marketing voice that is both technically credentialed and culturally rooted.
What replaces a published price list is something more useful: clarity of fit. Each door is shaped for a specific kind of room and a specific kind of decision. If a door fits your moment, the inquiry below is the right place to begin. If the door does not fit, the reply will say so, kindly and directly, often with a redirect to someone better suited.
The point of this page is not to convert visitors. The point is to make sure the right hosts find the right format and the wrong fit ends in a kind conversation, not a long contract.
Procurement and finance teams have a lot to read. This section is for them. The numbers and process are the same whether you are a 200 person company or a 20,000 person enterprise.
Engagements are invoiced through Dr. Avinaash's registered professional practice in Chennai, India.
PAN, GST, and HSN code are provided on the engagement letter and on every invoice. Available to procurement on request before kickoff.
GST applies at 18 percent for all engagements with Indian counterparts, as per the standard rate for professional services.
For engagements with international clients, invoices are raised in USD or local currency on request. Tax compliance handled in accordance with the engagement's place of supply.
Default terms are 50 percent at kickoff, 50 percent at delivery. Net 30 days from invoice date.
For year-long engagements, payment is quarterly in advance. PO terms negotiable. Bank transfer (NEFT or wire) preferred. No cheques.
Every engagement begins with a short one-page engagement letter signed by both parties. Scope, deliverable, timeline, fee, GST, and exit terms are on a single sheet.
No 40 page MSAs. If your legal team requires an MSA, we adopt your standard form with three small amendments.
For in-person engagements outside Chennai, the host covers travel and accommodation directly to avoid GST friction. Economy or business class travel for journeys above 90 minutes. One night accommodation. On-ground transfers.
International travel: business-class flights and accommodation covered by host. Visa support by host.
Engagement materials, customer interviews, and internal data are treated in confidence. Standard two-way NDA available, or your form accepted with minor amendments.
Intellectual property created during the engagement vests with the client. Frameworks and pre-existing methods remain with Dr. Avinaash.
A 14 page primer on the framework that underwrites every engagement on this page. Plain English. No jargon. Use it to decide whether the philosophy fits your company before any conversation begins. Sent to your email on request. Free. Read once and keep.
This is the universal inquiry form. Pick the door from the menu and the inquiry is routed to the right format. Read personally within 48 hours.
Or write directly to avinaash.me@gmail.com.
All inquiries treated in confidence. No assistants. Slow but certain.
Most invitations arrive late at night. A line, a few sentences, a paragraph of context. They are usually written by someone who has been thinking about the engagement for weeks. They are answered the same way, on the same kind of evening, with the same care. The exchange takes its time, by design.
If you would rather read before you decide, the Dispatch is a private letter, sent rarely, never automated. The next writing is "Letters from Quieter Rooms · A Year of Engagements", due October 2026. To receive it, write to avinaash.me@gmail.com with the word DISPATCH.
Slowly,
Dr. Avinaash.
