About Me
Hey, I'm Tenny!
My hunch is someone you trust mentioned my name, or you encountered one of my tweets, quotes or articles.
Regardless of how you landed on this page about me, I’m thrilled that you did and I’m excited to share my story with you.
Growing up
I’m a 20-something Hyderabadi guy with nothing more than passion, a dream, and an insatiable curiosity to explore the inner workings of the world around me. Whether I was tinkering with electronics or delving into culinary experiments, I relished the process of discovery and learning.
As I embarked on my University education, I chose to pursue a Bachelor’s in Business Administration at IBS Hyderabad, driven by the belief that it would ignite my passions and provide me with the necessary knowledge and skills. This educational endeavor not only fueled my passions but also helped me in achieving professional success.
Throughout my journey at IBS, I delved deep into the realm of marketing theories and business strategies, and my enthusiasm inspired me to offer my insights to local businesses as a freelancer, aiding them in elevating their marketing pursuits.
Starting up
Upon graduation, I landed my first job in a SaaS startup, Word Pigeon, a WordPress tool to streamline blog posting. Here, my love affair with digital marketing, particularly SEO, blossomed. The notion of harnessing technology to forge connections between brands and individuals, weaving captivating narratives that inspire action, fascinated me.
Subsequently, I joined Pearl Lemon, a group of digital growth agencies and startups, where I embarked on a path of continual growth and skill refinement. Collaborating with colleagues from around the world, companies ranging from e-commerce brands to SaaS companies, F&B startups to esports organisations, and even a luxury jewellery brand, I honed my SEO craft and relished the opportunity to think creatively while relentlessly pursuing top rankings, all from my couch in India.

Moving Up
Fueling my ambition to master the science of marketing, I moved to the UK, where I pursued an MSc in Marketing from The University of Edinburgh.
This academic journey broadened my horizons, exposing me to diverse cultures and perspectives firsthand that changed my thinking and equipped me with unique approaches to tackle challenges
One of The Big Six
As my marketing voyage progressed, a profound realisation took hold – my true passion lay in empowering brands to flourish online. Witnessing a company grow as a consequence of my efforts ignited an unparalleled sense of fulfillment within me. Yet, I yearned for something more audacious and exceptional.
Thus, I made the leap into London’s corporate world, joining a Big Six marketing agency, Dentsu. I had the privilege of working with pioneering brands in retail, luxury fashion, sustainable travel, healthcare, finance, and DTC e-commerce, along with specialists at Dentsu who share my unrivaled interest in SEO.
#HustleLife
More Things
However, my journey doesn’t end there. I thrive on exploring different things that expand my horizons and nurture continuous growth. I believe in hustling, this helps me in diversifying my skill set while learning new things. One such area is investing in stocks, where I delve into the financial markets, analysing trends and trying to make some calculated decisions but I’m still learning by doing, losing more, gaining some, learning lots, and always keeping an eye.
Another captivating hustle that has captured my interest is flipping domains. I enjoy this more, as I immerse myself in the intricacies of domaining, identifying valuable domains, and acquiring and selling them. Additionally, I revel in the art of building niche sites, catering to specific interests, and curating content that resonates with a targeted audience. The last one is that I’ve recently started a POD store, printing things with a pinch of passion and nostalgia. These ventures enable me to continuously expand my knowledge and expertise while embracing the challenges and opportunities that arise.
Extra Things
When I yearn for an extra dash of adrenaline, I chase adventure through trekking, kayaking, skydiving & more extra things.
Seeking Unknown, Exploring Passions, Conquering Fears & Repeating Exhilaration
Good Things
Some good things I try to embrace are sustainability and the 3Rs: recycling, reusing, and refurbishment. I’m trying to mold my life based on these principles. In my spare time, I volunteer with organisations promoting the 3Rs, pet care, and empowering underprivileged communities.
Moreover, I derive satisfaction from mentoring individuals with ambitious goals who may need guidance to navigate their journey to success. Drawing on my expertise, I provide them with direction with my limited knowledge. If you know someone seeking guidance in marketing, I am more than happy to help.
Out of Office
You’ll find me relishing good food (tbh it’s mostly chicken), touring, binge-watching (have a tendency to finish an entire series in one go, my latest guilt record is watching 25 hours of Ozark in 3 days. GoT, Tom & Jerry, WWE are a couple of all time fav shows), gaming (Spider-Man Miles Morales is my new fav) and reveling in the company of some furry friends (if you didn’t guess yet, good dogos mostly).
Anywho, this 20 something Hyderabadi guy has,
- Kicked it with one of the Big 6 agencies
- Nailed a master's degree from a Russell Group University
- Collaborated with talented professionals from 21+ nationalities
- Delved into digital entrepreneurship, owns a POD store and a niche site
- Jumped out of a plane at 13,000 feet, exhilarating the thrill of skydiving
But, as an SEO, nothing fills me with more pride than witnessing the impact my work has on brands and people behind them. The fulfillment I experience when I empower brands with visibility and witness the transformative changes that bring them closer to their audience and goals is truly rewarding.
While these represent my little accomplishments, they serve as fuel for my ambition to achieve even greater heights. As I continue on this journey I remain the same awkwardly relatable Tenny Jesse driven by unwavering determination, and persistently hustling.
