Biography
If I were to ask myself who is Anil? I would say – born curious by nature and wants to learn different subjects instead of being a specialist. After graduating I joined a small advertising firm called ‘Urja Communications’, where my boss asked me to go to Bihar School of Yoga for a month’s training before starting my job. This one month of training helped me look at my life holistically indeed and taught me that there is more to life than just chasing money. After working for 3 years at Urja I realised that I have to upgrade my skills to grow in my career. I then did my media planning course from Mudra Institute of Communication, Ahmedabad (MICA) and was absorbed by Mudra Communications, Mumbai. It’s here that I spent most of my advertising career, launching the first cellular phone service in India – Max Touch now known as Vodaphone Idea and was also a part of the launch of “Reliance Infocomm’ by Mukesh Ambani. In my last assignment with Lintas India, Mumbai where I was handling the financial cell with brands like UTI AMC, Tata Capital and Tata Mutual Fund etc. I was acquainted to CFP Certification. After spending close to 2 decades in the world of Advertising and Media, I wanted to slow down and I pursued this opportunity as a switch in my career so that I could henceforth live life on my terms. 10 years down the line, I am enjoying every bit of this noble profession and helping my clients live their life in the manner they always perceived it, by taking care of their finances. In the words of Nick Murray I am voyaging towards advisor’s professional and personal true north: where Clients become friends, and friends become Clients.

I made wonderful friends in this journey. Some of them are my collougue, some are clients. Life has been very beautiful. I am really grateful to God for the overall journey.

Biography
I am just a normal woman from humble backgrounds. After BCom and MBA I started off selling trucks (for TATA Motors) and moved to financial services accidentally. I learnt about the CFP certification from Outlook Money magazine back in 2005 and signed up to do the course. I worked in wealth management firms, got thrown up and beaten down in 2008, tried my hand at entrepreneurship and failed, went back to working for a company for 5 years and stumbled upon going it alone out of reluctance to travel in Mumbai trains. The last 4 years have been the most fulfilling part of my career as I grew from a single woman team to a 6 member team handling 120 client families. Blessed to have a supportive family, great mentors and extremely forgiving clients. I enjoy reading (much less these days), cooking with my son and travelling with my jolly good life partner.

Hi, I’m Gajendra Kothari, One Idiot, an Avid long term investor, financial advisor, a tech lover, an entrepreneur, columnist & a passionate financial literacy campaigner.en years back, a 33 min short movie titled “One Idiot” completely changed my life. While we all have been hugely inspired by the super successful Bollywood flick “3 Idiots”, I found my calling in One Idiot. Yes, in the next ten years, I would like the world to call me One Idiot. An Idiot who has achieved Rs 100 crs wealth by making his money work hard for him. An Idiot who lives his life on his terms without worrying about money anymore. An idiot who wants to simplify personal finance for a layperson in the world that sells complexity.
The idea behind becoming One Idiot is to inspire the youth of our country to achieve financial freedom. My passion is to create financial awareness amongst every citizen. I have so far empowered more than 25,000 participants in the last 16 years by conducting more than 200 investor awareness sessions in the areas of Personal Finance.

Two quotes that best describe me are – “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be – Douglas Adams”, & “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man – George Bernard Shaw”. The last 25 years have been exhilarating and where I am and what I am doing today is built upon the experiences that I have sought and had over these years. It has been a hugely satisfying journey, culminating in our building a practice through which we make a material change for the better in people’s financial well-being. A few books along the journey that have helped me shaped my thoughts and beliefs Rich Dad, Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor E Frankl Mindset – Carol Dweck Fooled By Randomness – Nassim N Taleb.

Biography
I will just take a minute to introduce myself and what motivated me to be in this practice of personal finance and help families make goal based investment decisions.
I come from a Business Family and have seen how stressful it is for people to manage their money.
Since I was able to manage my business money, I could connect to their situation and I started helping them.
It soon occurred to me that this is something that I enjoy doing it and I decided to make it as my career choice. I studied further and completed my Certified Financial Planner Certification. In order to get experience, I joined one of the top most private Indian Bank.
This was an eye opener to me, as on the first day of my job I was asked to sell an insurance policy to a 61 year old man who really did not required it. I understood that this is not the place for me and I need to work independently to help people and families.
I moved out of a great organisation, studied further and have been helping families, business owners and senior citizens since the last 10 Years.
I live in Mumbai with my parents, wife and lovely twin boys.

Biography
The core of our advice has always been with the client family as the centre piece. It does not just mean that all actions are taken with the clients’ interest at heart, it also means that we take pains to explain to the client what we are doing for them and why. It means that every step, every action is explained in detail so that they not only understand what is being done but also why it is being done. To do this many times we find ourselves repeating the same thing over and over again but we prefer it that way. In the process we find that over the years we make the client financially savvier and that much more comfortable.
