Scaling Smart: Harsh Jaiswal's Journey From Startup Vision to Half a Million in A Year

A CEO, an entrepreneur, a visionary – Harsh Jaiswal is redefining how startups are built, scaled, and sustained in the age of artificial intelligence. What began as an idea between a handful of ambitious minds soon transformed into Proximity, a next-generation PR management platform that uses AI not just as a tool but as a strategic partner in business growth.

“When we started Proximity, it was just a small team with big dreams,” Jaiswal recalls. “We didn't have the luxury of time or large manpower, so we decided to make AI our biggest ally.”

That decision would go on to reshape everything – from how campaigns were managed to how stories were placed in the media.

"Within the first year, Proximity generated over half a million dollars in revenue, proving that smart automation and strategic storytelling could coexist."
