I am,
π An Entrepreneur by Profession.
π A Teacher by Nature
π A Warrior by Action
π A Chef by Passion
But, I believe I am a student in every area of my life. I still remember and follow the quote said by Henry Ford, "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young"
I began my career at 16 to contribute small efforts to support my family. I have always believed in starting with a minor and taking baby steps like a tortoise.
At 19, I became a classmate's teacher and started sharing knowledge of the programming language which I loved most. At 20, I began my new career as a technical instructor when I was in the 2nd year of my Bachelor's. I was a part-time teacher and a full-time student.
Between 19-24, I taught more than 500+ students with my Bachelor's and master's.
After completing my master's, I founded IT Consulting services with a vision to give process-oriented customized website and mobile application development solutions in Surat.
I founded IBL INFOTECH with four of my friends and began our journey of service.
When we started, we faced many issues because none of us had experience in IT organizations.
But the warrior mindset always pushed me toward the vision. We slowly became a team of 100 members and were able to multiply YoY.
In 2021, I founded Sarvadhi Solutions Private Limited with the vision to understand all the problems with intelligence.
Because I am from Surat, I have observed that owners and sales persons of many organizations are facing issues in generating sales using channels other than freelancing platforms.
Even I faced issues in generating sales digitally without being dependent on a single platform.
I invested my time and money in multiple ways but failed numerous times since it was a trial and error mode.
After trying to connect with multiple people, I found that they are not open to supporting salespeople to increase sales.
Once I learned how to navigate through it and achieved my goals in sales, I took this as a challenge and organized an online session for my competitors.
I realized that there was no sales community where people discussed the problems they faced in sales and their solutions.
So, I invited owners and salespeople to openly share the sales problem they were facing without worrying about the competitors.
I am on a mission to support founders or directors of different organizations in the IT industry.
So that they can build an effective sales development team to increase sales from various channels.
In 2020, I decided to relaunch an IT company with a focus on a specialized field as opposed to continuing our 2014-founded freelance business. Even though since 2014 we have completed over 300 fixed-cost jobs and about 100,000 hours of freelancing, I was not happy. It's so simple to be a so-called "CEO" in the IT business these daysβall you need is a laptop and various accounts on freelance platforms, which you may even open under family names π.
But, I've always wanted to start an IT company rather than a freelancing agency. To get knowledge and explore more from other like-minded entrepreneurs across various sectors, I joined BNI Global Surat Region.
There I met Dhaval Vansadia at a chapter meeting a few weeks later. He had a technical background, came from the textile industry, and had expertise in D2C brand consulting.
He is very enthusiastic about networking and enjoys building new connections. We met at our office and after an hour-long discussion, he hired us for a project, and we created an ERP system for his business. that's how he became our first client out of a freelancing portal.
After a year of collaboration, he made the difficult decision to leave his company, which he had invested both money and heart in for eight years. Despite this, we remained close friends and nurtured our relationship.
He spoke to me over the phone one day, "Jatin, what are you doing? This Friday, if you have time, let's get together at your workplace. I miss having coffee from you."
Well, then, why not?
We had coffee together on Friday and during a conversation, he asked "Jatin, Why do most IT companies in Surat fail to become multimillion-dollar companies?"
After an hour-long conversation, I asked him, "If you think you are ready again, let's build Sarvadhi a multimillion-dollar company that would run for years and years, with or without us!"
And he responded, "YES!"
That's how I met my co-founder Dhaval, who serves as Director of Sales and has been in charge of sales since January 2024.
It proved that huge dreams, trust, and a cooperative mindset of mutual growth can all lead to the creation of a great company.
Dhaval Vansadia, welcome to the team. I'm looking forward to working with you after working for you.
If someone asks me if BNI has been helpful, my response is: Indeed, it's worth exploring if you're willing to be flexible and know how to make the most of your networkβboth for business and for making new friends in different fields.
