In short

Gargi Modi is the founder and CEO of GM Digital, a digital marketing agency serving businesses in the UAE and Canada.

Her story

From B2B Sales to Founder.

Gargi began her career in quota-driven B2B sales and account management after completing her MBA in India. She later moved to Canada and rebuilt her career in digital marketing from the ground up, completing courses at the University of Toronto, more than 20 professional certifications and unpaid internships before landing her first full-time digital marketing role.

Over the next five years she worked in-house at growing Canadian companies, which gave her a close view of how small marketing teams actually operate. In 2024 she left a full-time role to found GM Digital in Toronto, and in 2026 she brought the agency to Dubai.

Her approach is simple: marketing should be honest, measurable and built around how real buyers decide. No inflated promises, no vanity metrics, and clients own all of their accounts and data.
