What this video covers

Asesh Sarkar, founder of Salary Finance, shares his entrepreneurial journey and the challenges he faced in building a FinTech platform, highlighting the personal drive and resilience required for founders. This episode delves into his experiences, from his background to becoming a partner at PA Consulting and founding a social impact venture.

Summary

Asesh Sarkar was born in the UK to immigrant parents, who had no support and little money. Just as he had seen his parents toil to provide for the family growing up, Asesh Sarkar also had to overcome his lack of academic ability by working extra hard. Pursuing the career that suited him, as opposed to what his parents originally suggested he should do, led to a decade in finance and consulting, before eventually becoming the youngest ever partner at PA Consulting. From there Asesh Sarkar took a leap into the unknown to become a social impact entrepreneur, founding breakthrough FinTech platform, Salary Finance, in 2015.
