“The only constant in life is change” is the mantra Sairaj Matkar, the CEO of Acexmedia, lives by. Actively looking for a change and embracing change sets Sairaj apart from others. Sairaj believes that stagnation equals the end of the business. As much as he loves gaining stability, he is continuously pumped up and driven towards change and new ideas!
Change has been a part of Sairaj’s life for a long time. It all started back when he was a child and dreamed about what career he wished to pursue. His ”dream” career would change daily and oscillate between being a pilot, an astronaut, or an engineer. Inspired by the need to break free from corporate life, he launched Acexmedia with the objective that he does not deem himself to fit well for a 9-5 job. However, throughout the years, we saw that along with his company’s objectives, his objective on starting the company changed too. It is about being the best of the best in the e-commerce agency realm and making sure the clients and the employees are taken well care of.
Further down the change streak, as a CEO, Sairaj has begun to appreciate and show ample zeal toward innovation and creation. Unlike a few CEOs who turn a blind eye to others’ suggestions, Sairaj has created a ‘free environment’ within his workplace that enables his employees to exchange views and ideas well perceived by Sairaj. When he started the company, initially, he was madly driven by the goal of earning profit in the shortest period (like most young entrepreneurs). However, he soon experienced a downfall by signing with unreliable clients and realized it was time to change his strategy. It was then that Acexmedia[2] began focusing on developing rigid inclusion criteria wherein they would consider both the brand and the person representing the brand before signing the contract with them.
Another remarkable change undertaken by Sairaj Matkar was identifying the factors that would make him lose his focus and motivation to work. Once he recognized that mundane tasks seemed to derail him and slack off, he delegated those to others to keep his bandwagon moving! Sairaj also shared during an interview, “I’ve become much more confident and focused compared to what I was when I started. I’ve developed a sick work ethic, and when I’m zoned in during my deep work blocks, nothing is stopping me.”
Throughout his journey as a CEO, Sairaj has undergone many ups and downs and has seen both sides of a coin. However, what kept him moving forward was his desire for change. It is because of this that today we have an upgraded version, or as we say in ‘Bot language,’ A Sairaj Matkar 2.0 and Acexmedia 2.0 versions available!
