Jitendra has found success with his financial services startup. He aims for 1000 percent growth in the near future.

Jitendra Dhaka is the Co-founder and CEO of BankSathi Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a startup providing financial services to its customers. Earlier, he was in digital marketing.

Jitendra has done B.Tech. in Computer Science from the Lovely Professional University. He is the son of a poor farmer and remembers his childhood when he helped his father in growing and selling vegetables. He used to go to his school which was seven kms from his home on foot. All the hardships of his childhood have made him strong-willed and strong-hearted which helps him in facing the challenges in business.

Talking about his startup BankSathi, he says banking had always been his passion. He says three things are his strengths- networking, marketing and banking. And, BankSathi incorporates all the three. BankSathi integrates all types of financial products on a single platform. In his words it empowers the consumer’s financial life. It provides opportunities to its advisors to offer financial products to everyone.

Jitendra says he wants to create a group of people who can earn through BankSathi. Already he has 15000 advisors across 3500 PIN codes and in 550 districts of the country. He says his aim is to spread financial products to places where they have not reached before. Jitendra says whenever anyone said that you will not be able to do it, he took it as a challenge. He claims he has had 1000 percent growth and aims to have another 1000 percent growth in the near future.

Jitendra feels his biggest achievement is the immense love and support which he has got from everyone, be it his parents, relatives, friends, teachers, his school and his college. He had dreamt to better the living conditions of his parents and he is happy to have done so by providing them a good house and bringing them to the city.

Jitendra says his father is his role model as even when he was a farmer his father thought like a businessman. He has found inspiration and encouragement from the director of his school, the director of a network marketing company where he worked earlier and many other businessmen. He also read the story of the founders of the Lovely Professional University and felt inspired that if they could find exemplary success why couldn't he?

If he gets a chance to go back in time, he would only want to advance his failures but not change them as he has learnt from them. He only wishes to start everything five years earlier than they actually happened.

Jitendra thinks that there are two types of education-formal education and skills education. In his opinion, while formal education is good, the skills learned are very important. Besides, he thinks experience is very important and it teaches you a lot about life.

In his free time he reads motivational books and watches motivational videos. He also reads about health and good diet. He likes to know about successful people and how they did what they did. He learns from their success stories.

For youngsters aspiring to launch startups, his advice is that they must think before doing it why they want to do it. Is it just because someone else is doing it or are they really passionate about the idea? Besides, they must have alternate plans to achieve their goals if plan A fails. He says you must build good teams, and you must have guts to tell the laggards in your team to improve or leave.

His message is ‘You Can Win’. “ Rukna mana hai aur thakna mana hai.”
