Somewhere along the way, “Instagram marketing” stopped meaning strategy and started meaning a content calendar full of stock quotes and product photos, dropped into your feed by someone who’s never actually read your business plan.
You’re posting. You’re paying an agency, or a freelancer, or maybe your nephew who’s “good with Instagram.” And the follower count creeps up while enquiries, DMs, and actual sales stay exactly where they were six months ago.
I’m Vijay Mishra, a Kolkata-based digital marketing consultant with 20+ years of experience. I don’t run Instagram as a side service tacked onto a bigger retainer — I treat it as what it actually is for most Indian businesses today.
A discovery engine, a trust-builder, and increasingly, a direct sales channel, all rolled into one app. If your Instagram looks busy but doesn’t move your business forward, this page is for you.
