Santhosh Kumar — CEO
It all started in a small village where I grew up. After finishing school, I joined a textile company to support my family financially. But my real interest was sparked when I started watching the Doordarshan news every day. They used to talk about closing price of Sensex and Nifty at last. When we talk in 100, 500 rupees, they used to inform market cap in 1000’s of crores.That made me curious to know more. Living in a remote village meant resources were scarce. So, every Sunday, I'd head to the local browsing center to learn more about the stock market. It was slow-going at first, but with determination and the help of a friend, we started understanding the ins and outs of trading. Eventually, we decided to dive in and create our own trading account. From there, it was a journey of trial and error, learning from our mistakes and celebrating our successes. Soon, others in our community noticed our passion and asked us to teach them. We started weekly sessions, sharing what we knew about the market. As our reputation grew, we decided to take things a step further. 📍In 2012, we founded Sky Commodities India Private Limited. It wasn't easy at first, but through hard work and dedication, we became one of the top brokers in the South, winning awards from MCX. When the pandemic hit, we didn't let it slow us down. Instead, we saw it as an opportunity to expand. We became members of NSE and BSE, adding equity trading to our services. But we're not stopping there. We're working on something big called 'GoPocket,' a new platform to make financial products accessible to everyone. Our goal is simple: to empower people to make informed decisions about their finances and secure their futures. Join me on this journey as we continue to grow and innovate in the world of finance. Let's connect!
