Inside the Entrepreneurial Mind of Sociallyin CEO Keith Kakadia

Keith Kakadia is the co-founder and CEO of Sociallyin, a social-media-only agency he started in college that has grown into a 50-person team working with

10/ Sociallyin’s 14-year ride is full of ups, downs, and spicy stingrays (yes, Keith’s eaten one in Thailand 😅). The lesson? Say yes to new paths, double down on your strengths, and keep your business curiosity burning.

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 20h

9/ Keith’s rule: Be a PRACTITIONER. He can execute every job in the agency himself—from designing to copy to ads. Delegation is key, but understanding the craft matters most for long-term leadership.

8/ AI isn’t a threat—it’s an opportunity. 💡 Sociallyin uses AI tools for copy, data analysis, onboarding, speeding up workflows, and brainstorming better ideas (not replacing human creativity, but assisting it!). AI is a sidekick, not a competitor.

7/ What keeps him up at night?

>> The pressure to deliver white-glove service at scale.

>> High stakes with big-revenue clients. But mostly, it’s AMBITION — always thinking, “What can I build next?”

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 20h

6/ What’s the best part of being an entrepreneur for Keith?

>> Endless curiosity: “I get to be curious about whatever I want.”

>> Control over his schedule: “I get to live on my terms.” … and now, even company trips to Paris as CEO perks! 🗼🌍

5/ Entrepreneurship runs deep: Keith’s dad emigrated from India and worked his way up from gas stations to motels to franchises. Keith? He was hustling even as a kid (burning and selling CDs to dad’s employees!). Entrepreneurship is in the bloodline. 💪

4/ Reddit marketing?! Keith admits it’s “a situation”—Reddit can smell promotion from a mile away. But their agency focuses on being entertaining + educational, earning trust instead of spamming. Real social skills, not just social media! 👏

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 20h

3/ Why ONLY social media? Double down and be world-class at ONE thing. While other agencies scatter, Sociallyin masters every platform: Meta, TikTok (even TikTok Live and Shopping!), LinkedIn exec branding, AND… drumroll… REDDIT marketing. 😳🔥

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 20h

2/ Keith’s journey began at 15, hustling online with AdSense “mini sites” making $3-4/mo (yes, every dollar counted!). When his buddy asked for help with a restaurant’s Facebook page, he said “yes.” That was client #1. The rest? Sociallyin history. 💸⚡️

1/ Meet Keith Kakadia: Co-founder, CEO (and “chief bottle washer”!) of Sociallyin – a 50-person social media-only agency, working with names like Samsung, Carnival Cruise Lines, and Nikon. And it all started in… a Mississippi college dorm room?! 🤯

8/ What’s behind it all? Self-awareness.
Knowing your strengths, what lights you up, what you dread—it’s the ultimate founder superpower. If you carry one thing into every meeting, every risk, every late night? Make it this.

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 17d

7/ Diversification isn’t just for your investment portfolio. Founders NEED multiple buckets: consulting, products, services, even private equity plays—so you never have to panic when one income stream dries up. 💡

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 17d

6/ Real talk: Sometimes, life forces your hand (unexpected diagnoses, burnout, family). That’s why Steph helps founders prep for multiple paths: sell, operational exit, or step away temporarily while still collecting the rewards. #Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 17d

5/ Stephanie’s work is about options, not one-size-fits-all exits:
— “I want out, find a buyer!”
— “Maybe one day—how do I prep?”
— “I love my biz but want a different role.”
It’s OK to design your EXIT around your LIFE.

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 17d

4/ You have more assets than you realize:
🧩 Frameworks, IP, & content
🤝 Partnerships
👥 Your audience
💼 Book of business
📦 Productized services
📝 Documented ops
Events, brand power, and more…
All of these crank up your valuation.

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 17d

3/ The wakeup call: Traditional “grow at all costs” advice misses the mark. Instead of constantly chasing marketing tactics, start thinking: What can I build inside my biz that’s sellable? (Spoiler: There are more options than you think!)

Entrepreneur's Enigma Podcast @entrepreneursenigma.com · 17d

2/ Stephanie’s journey? Classic entrepreneur. She came up in software & startups, dove into consulting, built businesses, got burned by life, rebuilt—and then realized: “I want to create assets, not just income.” THAT was a game-changer. 🔑
