Sharan Hegde — Founder

I am Sharan Hegde, better known as Finance With Sharan. Actively looking for super smart people to work with me- superdm.com/sharan With 3.5 million+ subscribers on YouTube and 2.7 million followers on Instagram - you must have seen my entertaining finance videos pop up in your feed, but my LinkedIn is going to tell you a different story. Here I will share my entrepreneurial stories. With a team of 100+ people, I am going to build my start-up ‘1% Club’ in public. But before I tell you more, here is a little backstory It started during my school days when I could not make it to my dream IIT (average Indian household story). That setback made me fiercely competitive. I carried that energy for the next few years of my life. Fast forward to 2019, I picked up another goal of securing a promotion at my job as a management consultant. Without this promotion, MBA application would look bad. Two years of pure hard work and grind led to a massive 5% increment in salary with no promotion. There you go, setback number 2. Next, I attempted CAT 2021 with the aim of IIM Bangalore in my heart, and if you didn’t see it coming already, this was setback number 3. I'm sure my story resonates with millions of you guys. So what did I do next? I wrapped up all these learnings, treated failures as feedback, and evolved in an unconventional manner. This is how Finance With Sharan was born. My mission to spread financial literacy and make it fun for others saw growth in leaps and bounds. Over the last 3 years, I have realized that there is a need to make finance simple and effective, and that is exactly what I am here to do. Around 2 years back I started The 1% Club. an exclusive members-only community to help people achieve financial independence and become the top 1%. Financial independence is a superpower to never be controlled by money. Less than 1% of people can achieve in their lifetime. Even Kaun Banega Crorepati winners end up bankrupt. Clearly, there is a massive need for us to learn what our schools never taught us and The 1% Club is the solution to this problem.
