Building India’s Largest Gold Loan Aggregator 🏆| Rajesh Shet @ SahiBandhu
Meet the incredible company that overtook its much older and better-funded rivals in a mere 4 years!
Startup Enthusiasts and regular listeners of the Founder Thesis podcast would probably be used to listening to stories of young founders who started something a few years out of college and made it big after struggling for a decade 🏋🏃
But this episode is the exact opposite of that kind of Story 🤔
Before starting SahiBandhu, Rajesh Shet had been in the corporate world for two decades and that is the reason why in just 4 years Sahibandhu has overtaken much older and better funded rivals to become India’s largest gold loan aggregator 🏆🏆🏆(by monthly disbursements).
Amazingly, their closest competitor has raised almost 200 million dollars over the last nine years!! 🤯
The success of SahiBandhu is a result of a hyper focussed strategy that was executed to perfection by Rajesh and his team 💪
This phenomenal conversation is a deep dive into the market of gold loans in India, the gaps in the market, and how Sahibandhu hyper scaled by smartly filling those gaps 🔥🔥
