About
Shezad Ali Khan. Trainer, SEO expert, web developer, mentor.
I'm a Mumbai-based digital marketing trainer and SEO expert. I guest-lecture at Hinduja College, Thakur College, Pillai College, run my own hands-on AI classes (the AI Masterclass in Jogeshwari), and manage two agencies, TNXN Solutions and Digital ARIS.
My career did not begin in a classroom. I started behind a Casio counter in 2010, selling watches and learning that every sale is really a conversation. That instinct moved online: online reputation at Zimmber, paid media at Sia Art Jewellery, and then the move into teaching: Pace Career Academy in 2018, Digital Trainee in 2019, and later Lead Trainer at IIDE — The Digital School from 2023.
I keep one foot in practice as Founder & CMO of TNXN Solutions and by managing Digital ARIS, a Mumbai digital marketing agency. That is where the consulting, SEO architecture and web builds get tested before they reach client work or a lesson plan.
I hold three diplomas, in Web Development, Graphic Design and Digital Marketing. Clients and students get one person who handles layout, type and front-end as comfortably as SEO and paid media.

How I think about teaching and work.
- 1
Teach what you do
Training 1,500+ students forced me to sharpen every framework. If I can't explain something in 90 seconds, I don't understand it yet, and a classroom finds that out fast.
- 2
Practitioner first
I keep one foot in client work, so what I teach on Monday is what I ship on Tuesday.
- 3
Fundamentals over tools
Tools change every quarter and fundamentals don't. I teach how to think about audiences, distribution and feedback loops first, and the tools after that.
- 4
Boring beats brilliant
Showing up for cohort 38 with the same care as cohort 1 does more than any tactic that goes viral on LinkedIn. I'd rather stay consistent and let the results add up.
