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

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”
