Rajendra Kumar - Founder, Lendly Home Loans

Rajendra Kumar

Founder, Lendly Home Loans

Hello! I’ve ventured from the bustling streets of Abu Dhabi to the vibrant landscapes of Australia, and have now returned to my roots in India, each step bringing me closer to solving real-world problems that truly matter.

During my time down under, I co-founded Open Home Loans, a social enterprise that aims to change the way we think about mortgage broking. It wasn’t just about helping people find the right loan; it was about education, about bringing clarity to a process that can often seem overwhelming. This venture was the springboard for my latest endeavour, Lendly Home Loans, where we're doing just that, but in the Indian lending landscape where it is needed even more.

But entrepreneurship for me isn’t new; it's been a constant companion. From tinkering with electrical gadgets in my school days, to selling movies and silicone wristbands in high school and college, I’ve always been drawn to the thrill of creating something new, something impactful.

Now, I’m on the lookout for like-minded co-founders and investors who are as excited as I am about creating solutions in fundamental sectors like food, water, shelter, and medicine. If that sounds like you, I’d love to grab a coffee, virtual or otherwise, and chat about the potential paths we could explore together.

When I'm not immersed in the world of startups, you'll find me indulging my love for movies, trying out new cuisines, or maybe even at a pottery or candle-making class. Because for me, it’s not just about the destination, but also about the journey and all the interesting detours along the way.

Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to make a meaningful impact in the world!

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
