About Me
Hi, I’m Gaurav Tiwari (IPA: /ˈɡɔːɾəʋ tɪˈʋɑːɾi/), an experienced developer, designer, marketer, and educator with over 15 years of work experience.
Currently, I lead as the CEO and Project Lead at Gatilab, where I help individuals and institutions thrive online. My passion lies in building performance-driven websites, creating high-converting content, and designing tools that solve real-world problems.
My journey began in 2008-09 (at the age of 16), working with local businesses out of desperation. Soon, it became a hobby and then a primary profession.
And now I’ve helped over 800 clients — from little startups and government agencies to global enterprises, including IBM, Adobe, Canva, and HubSpot.
My expertise spans from web development and content marketing to SEO optimization and graphic design. I specialize in growth, conversion, and performance solutions tailored to specific business goals.
Through my work, I’ve impacted brands globally and helped them innovate and scale efficiently.
Beyond client work, I’ve created open-source projects used by thousands, written extensively on digital marketing, and developed tools like WordPress themes and plugins, including Writ, TrueBlogger and Dynamic Month & Year into Posts.
Teaching is another passion of mine, and I’ve shared insights into everything from SEO to affiliate marketing, generating over $1.2 million in sales for various brands in 2023 alone.
What Drives Me?
For me, it’s not just about designing a great product or service — it’s about creating something that people truly need and making it accessible. Every website I build, article I write, and tool I design is crafted with performance and usability in mind.
Having been a college topper in both my school and graduate courses and having cleared several competitive exams, I believe in grinding through continuous learning and sharing that knowledge.
My journey in teaching and education extends to developing courses and providing mentorship to students, helping them excel in subjects like mathematics and science.
