From rejecting a seven-figure job to building India’s largest platform for financial education,
Here’s the story behind my entrepreneurial journey so far.
Here’s the story behind my entrepreneurial journey so far.
I graduated from IIM Indore in 2008 and got placed in JP Morgan. Having a zeal to do something in the #education sector, I didn't take that #job, to start up a new venture of my own.
During that time CAT went online. I started my own venture- FireUp, an e-learning portal for training for #management entrance examinations.
The rising demand for trained professionals and the lack of availability in the financial markets is what gave us the #Inspiration to start a an online education platform.
Being already aware of the unstructured and fragmented nature of the financial market education segment, it was in 2014 we came together to launch @elearnmarkets to streamline and structure the #journey for individuals who want to make a #career in the financial markets.
We used technology to spread knowledge, designed our courses by making use of high-end and #interactive Learning Management systems.
We also made the #platform open to market experts so to enable practical experience sharing with the learners.

Moving ahead, In 2016, together with @vinaypagaria & @vivbajaj we launched @mystockedge providing a self-research and analysis tools in order to make stock analytics simpler for everyone.
Initially started as a sidekick to help learners get structured data of listed #Companies along with cutting-edge analytics, @mystockedge has now turned into a full-fledged equity and #mutualfunds research tool with the app garnering over 2 million downloads.
Today, we have a team of 190 dedicated people who are working hard to simplify financial markets for Indian retail investors, so that they can make better financial decisions.
I love my team!

We have now built @StockEdgeSocial, a community of like-minded people to interact and learn from each other.
