Rishikkes Pawar

Founder & CEO, Digitalzone. Harvard Business School — OPM 67 YPO Member - North East One Chapter (New York) Born and raised in a small village near Pune, India. Started Digitalzone in 2014 as a college dropout, borrowing money from friends. Moved to New York in 2020. At 33, I built the company from nothing into a global B2B marketing platform — without investors, without an inherited network, without shortcuts. The credit belongs to my team — disciplined, sharp, and relentless. I think in decades, not quarterly cycles. I value disciplined execution, clear thinking, and intellectual honesty. Pressure sharpens me. It doesn’t move me. My curiosity extends far beyond business. I study long arcs of human, earth, and moon history to understand cycles of power and progress. Neuroscience to question decision-making and consciousness. Energy, financial systems, defense, and space — because they will shape the next civilization. I race cars for the focus they demand. I travel to expand my perspective. I learn constantly — from people, ideas, and information across domains. I focus on signal over noise. I build for endurance and impact. Still learning. Still building.
