“Personal branding is not an option anymore — it’s a must,” says Dr. Bilal Ahmad Bhat, global entrepreneur, business coach, and founder of the ’90DAYMBE – 90 Days of Business Entrepreneurship’ program. It’s time to own your name, tell your story, and shape your future.

Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir –
In today’s hyper-connected digital economy, it’s no longer just businesses that need branding — individuals do too. With the launch of his transformative initiative “Invest in Personal Branding Kashmir,” renowned business coach and global entrepreneur Dr. Bilal Ahmad Bhat is urging the youth, creators, professionals, and entrepreneurs of Jammu & Kashmir to step forward and own their identity, amplify their voice, and build a lasting personal brand.

“People don’t just buy products or services anymore — they buy people, trust, stories, and values,” says Dr. Bilal.
“And if you are not branding yourself, you are already invisible. That’s why I tell everyone — invest in personal branding now, especially in Kashmir.”

What Is Personal Branding?

Personal branding is the intentional effort to create and influence public perception of an individual by positioning them as an authority, building credibility, and creating a distinct, memorable presence in their industry or community.

In simpler terms:
🔹 It’s how people remember you.
🔹 It’s how you build trust before ever saying a word.
🔹 It’s how you differentiate yourself from the rest.

Your values, message, visual identity, digital presence, communication style, and thought leadership — all come together to form your personal brand.

Why Is Personal Branding Critical — Especially in Kashmir?

Kashmir is a land of immense talent, creativity, intelligence, and culture. But many brilliant individuals — from entrepreneurs to artists, doctors to influencers, writers to change-makers — are still undiscovered, unbranded, and underrepresented.

Dr. Bilal believes that can — and must — change.

“We’ve spent years branding apples, carpets, shawls, and landscapes. Now it’s time to brand our people — the real assets of Kashmir,” he says.

Here’s why personal branding is non-negotiable today:

✅ Visibility = Opportunity: When people know who you are, they can work with you, hire you, buy from you, or recommend you.

✅ Digital Reputation is Everything: Whether you’re a jobseeker, entrepreneur, or influencer — Google is your first interview.

✅ Trust and Influence: People trust faces and names, not just companies. Your personal brand builds that bridge.

✅ Leadership and Legacy: Whether you’re 18 or 80, building your personal brand helps you leave a legacy and inspire others.
