Journey from a Corporate Lawyer to heading Media Startup: Praxis Media Pvt Ltd


New Delhi, April 2016 : Swagateeka Patel, Founder & Director, Praxis Media Private Limited has launched her own startup in the Marketing, Branding and Media Services industry. She has completed Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws (BA.LLb) degree from SSLC, Pune. College was the most defining and crucial period of her life. Hailing from a small town in Odisha, the five years of college gave her life its true meaning. Apart from the mammoth sized law books and endless late nights, it taught her about adaptability, patience, fearlessness and most of all it taught her to test her potential


She shifted to Delhi to work with a corporate law firm. After two job switches and 4 years of work experience, she took a break in 2014. One year of self-assessment made her quit the legal profession and follow her passion of connecting with people and serving them. The life-changing moment for her was taking the plunge of starting her own venture especially when she had no experience. She took the big decision on the basis of sheer belief and passion. After a year, the success of Praxis Media makes her feel that the risk was worthwhile.

About Praxis Media
The literal meaning of word ‘Praxis’ is application or use. The name ‘Praxis Media’ reflects the ideology with which the Company was incorporated i.e, the application of fresh, creative and unique ideas/knowledge/skills for regenerating and enhancing brands/business of our clients. Praxis Media Private Limited is an insight driven media and marketing services company that helps in boosting businesses and services and taking them to their zenith through awards and accreditations, brand management and strategy, business advisory, market research, marketing solutions, strategic public relations, media management, reputation management, design and communication solutions.

The ‘Eureka’ moment came when Praxis closed their first deal successfully. The business model of Praxis Media is simple – it is providing branding and marketing services to organizations/individuals through ratings and accreditations. The company is  self-financed and Swagatika has not engaged in any bootstrapping activities.

She reiterates, “Thankfully, being a lawyer I was aware of the formalities involving incorporation of a private limited company. However, my apprehensions were after post-incorporation of the Company. There were lots of unanswered questions as to how to get employees, initial financial hiccups, where to get clients and lots more. But, Internet has made a lot of things easier. We were able to hire with the help of various job portals, connect with clients through social media platforms and this convenience of internet gave us our tagline “where local becomes global”.
