A communications strategist by passion and profession, Daya began his journey in the early 1990s at one of India’s top technology media groups, gaining first-hand experience in tech journalism, conference curation, product management, and advertising. His forte lies in making complex innovations—across cybersecurity, AI, fintech, and enterprise tech—accessible and actionable for both novice and seasoned audiences. This unique perspective inspired him to establish EXL PR, a leading technology PR agency India, dedicated to accelerating market entry and brand building for disruptive tech enterprises in India and Southeast Asia.

Under Daya’s leadership, EXL PR has consistently delivered results for B2B and B2C technology clients, launching India’s first “Build Your PC” industry initiative, driving IPv6 adoption, introducing global IP-SAN and UTM products, and supporting digital transformation across sectors. By leveraging deep India-specific expertise and demand generation agency India best practices, EXL PR has built a reputation for bridging awareness to revenue and supporting technology brands throughout their growth journey.

Today, Daya bridges the gap between global technology business challenges and localized execution, setting tech brands on a path to leadership in India, the US, and beyond.

We provide informal coaching to spokespersons, especially startup founders, on how to engage with the media. We also provide formal media training , complete with simulated media interactions, for companies front ended by in-country spokesperson with limited media training. This is, however, charged on a project basis.

To succeed, a PR campaign requires strong brand champions on both the agency and the client side. As a client, you will need to find the time for building and sharing narratives, market intelligence, or simply being available to speak with media, influencers, analysts, on demand. Additionally, you should treat the agency more as business partners and advisors and not as vendors who are shared information on a need-to-know basis.

He is an excellent business partner and someone I would work with again in the near future."
