    7. From India to SEO at SEEK: A Story of Relocation, Cultural Shifts and Crafting a Life You Love
    Apr 25 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with my mentor and SEO whiz, Prag, SEO at SEEK. We chat about his journey from India to Malaysia and finally to Australia, and how he made the leap from data analyst to SEO lead at companies like SEEK and TimeInc.

    We share a few laughs roasting India’s chaotic driving culture, explore how SEO looks totally different across industries, and tackle the big question on everyone’s mind: is SEO dead with AI on the rise? (Spoiler: nope, but the game is changing fast!)

    We also dive into some real talk around career growth and life design:

    • How do you build a career that lets you relocate?
    • How do you curate a network that actually supports you?
    • And how do you craft a life you genuinely love?


    If you’ve ever wondered how to take your SEO career global, adapt to AI, or just find your next big opportunity, this one’s packed with insights and stories you won’t want to miss.
