A proper introduction: Deepak, GTM Engineer and Clay Partner

·Oct 16, 2026 07:00 AM·

Hey everyone 👋 I've been lurking (and occasionally helping) in this community for a long time, but realised I never properly introduced myself - so, better late than never! I'm Deepak - GTM Engineer and Clay Partner, based in India and working with teams across the US, EU and APAC. I spent 7 years at KYC-Chain going from first SDR to Head of GTM (we grew from $25K to $12.8M ARR, ~60% sourced by cold email). Since 2025 I run Outreach Ark solo - building outbound on Clay, Instantly, Smartlead and HeyReach. 175 Clay builds so far. Happy to help anyone stuck on signal-based lists, waterfall enrichment or fixing a broken table. Always up for swapping ideas 🙌 I also write GTMnext, a daily newsletter with practical Clay workflows, agentic plays and honest breakdowns of what's working in GTM (1,500+ readers).
