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!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
