In a state often regarded as a difficult terrain for entrepreneurship, a 25-year-old from Kottayam is rewriting the narrative.
Gigesh Mathew, a digital product strategist and entrepreneur, is proving that success in the tech world doesn’t require moving abroad—it just requires the right mindset, resilience, and purpose.
Born and raised in a culture that prioritizes academic performance, Gigesh (known as GM) faced emotional isolation and constant pressure from a young age. Yet, instead of succumbing to the weight of expectation, he chose to build a different path. His early interest in technology was sparked by a computer assembling course, which gave him a sense of clarity and control—a stark contrast to the uncertainty he faced in other areas of life.
His entry into the digital world began with roles in marketing, marketplace and branding, but it soon became clear that GM’s true calling lay in product development. Drawn to the problem-solving and strategic nature of building digital solutions, he began focusing on crafting meaningful user experiences rather than chasing vanity metrics.
Through mentorship and introspection, GM honed a vision that went beyond traditional entrepreneurship. Today, he leads Epic Marketing Company, a digital venture designed to bridge the gap between innovative strategies and their real-world execution. The firm positions itself as the "execution arm" for clients, helping translate visionary blueprints into high-performing digital products.
A New Generation of Leadership
GM’s journey offers a modern blueprint for aspiring digital professionals:
● Resilience as a Foundation: Adversity wasn’t avoided—it was embraced and turned into fuel.
● Growth Through Intention: Career clarity emerged from exploration and reflection, not instant discovery.
● Passion as a Process: Rather than waiting for inspiration, GM created passion through deep engagement and iteration.
As he continues to expand his impact at the intersection of technology, strategy, and social relevance, Gigesh Mathew stands as a powerful example of what’s possible when young innovators build from within—right here in Kerala.
