I help leadership teams in Asia put AI to work.

I run AI workflows every day at 2Stallions, my 40+ person agency, and I'm an SID Accredited Director. I teach teams to use AI in hands-on workshops, and I advise founders on what to build, buy and ignore.

Twice a month I share the AI workflows, prompts and templates I use. Subscribers get free access to the full vault.

"Dhawal is very knowledgeable on this subject matter. Even though I've been using GA for years (self taught and learned from former managers), I learned a lot more from this course as it is different from what's offered in GA academy."

"I learnt so much over these 2 days about Digital Analytics. Dhawal made most of the difficult technicalities in Analytics easier to relate for a layperson like me. I came to the class feeling apprehensive, however, I am more confident now as I know I can go for the refresher class and clinic as well as approach Dhawal should the need arise. A big thank you, Equinet Academy and Dhawal!"
