Daanial Khan, Marketing Manager at Balantix

About

Who I Am

Aligarh-born, Google-obsessed. I'm the Marketing Manager at Balantix, which is a polite way of saying I spend my days arguing with algorithms until they agree with me.

I don't hand over a strategy deck and disappear. I build the thing, ship the thing, then watch the numbers to see if the thing actually worked. If it didn't, I fix it. That's the whole job, really.

I started in SaaS sales at TeleCRM, talking to businesses that knew something in their marketing was broken but couldn't say what. That's a useful place to start, because it teaches you to diagnose before you prescribe. From there: marketing analysis, then strategy, and now I run SEO, AEO, SEM and web growth for Balantix's clients across India and abroad.

I hold an MBA in Digital Marketing, on top of a Bachelor's and Master's in English from Aligarh Muslim University. I could have stayed in that world, teaching people how to use semicolons. I chose to build things that rank instead.

Experience

Where I've Worked

Marketing Manager, Balantix

Jan 2026 — Present

I run SEO, AEO, SEM and web development delivery across India, education to hospitality to travel. I don't guess at what should work. I test it, measure it, and keep what earns its place.

Marketing Analyst, Balantix

Jan 2024 — Dec 2025

Owned prospecting, lead nurturing and pipeline management for the agency's client base, and ran campaign delivery across paid and organic. I know what a healthy funnel looks like because I've built a few.

Marketing Analyst, TeleCRM

May 2023 — Dec 2023

Built an affiliate channel from zero and onboarded the partners who made it work. Nobody handed me a playbook, so I wrote one.

Business Analyst, TeleCRM

Jul 2021 — May 2023

Ran SaaS sales end to end: live product demos, requirement mapping, CRM onboarding. This is where I learned that businesses don't want features, they want proof it'll work.
