The incredibly brilliant foresighted individual who planned the launch of his first business, a personal search engine, in 1998, precisely the year Google was established.
In the past 22 years, he has worked with some of the top companies in India and APAC, managing startups in the fields of fitness and lifestyle technology as well as retail, and has led numerous sales and marketing teams globally.
One of the top sports technology firms in the world, Sportstec, was successfully launched in India thanks to Ranjeet. He also has experience working with Bowflex, Power Plate, STAG, Dartfish, and lastly his own dream business, Glamaxy. In 2018, he was recognised as one of India's Top 100 Retail Minds.
Mind blasting! Isn’t it?
One man, with so many accomplishments, and still so much more to do in the upcoming years. It's not luck; it's just sheer effort combined with the correct use of education and knowledge.
Ranjeet holds a B.Com in Accounting and Finance degree with a grade of A+. His next step was to complete an MBA in international business. Additionally, he has a sales and marketing diploma and an SAP specialisation in sales and distribution.
Being a problem solver, he is constantly looking for methods to get better. From the very beginning of his career, he has lived by the success mantra of constant improvement. According to Ranjeet, “The ideas never end, the vision never shifts, and your hard work always pays off.”
In 2022, the present year he founded MeraCoach intending to use AI and GPS to match students with the coach of the appropriate sport depending on their preferred location and time. It didn't take long for hundreds of coaches to sign up for the website and mobile app.
“Business main akela insaan sirf ek pani ki bund saman hain, Aur puri team samunder ke saman hain.”
Here's your chance to get to know this powerful team.
Gaidir Sports & Fitness Pvt. Ltd., the parent company, produces MeraCoach. The core team consists of Saumya Tiwari, Athira Vinod, and Rikhil Lamba. Founder and chief operating officer Saad Khan. Ryan Roy Shah is head of the football division. Finance is overseen by Nand Kishore Agarwal.
The story behind MeraCoach is very interesting and exciting. It is an example of a problem solver who truly transforms every challenge into an opportunity.
It's time to unravel this mystery!
Ranjeet was looking for a swimming coach for his son one day. He searched for a coach that was about 8 miles from his home for almost 10 days. The whole process was quite time-consuming and inconvenient. He decided to fill the gap right there and then with the start-up idea of MeraCoach.
Holy mackerel!
A loophole in the system is filled by this entrepreneurial firebrand with a solution that will benefit all parents, children, and all individuals. It acts as a link between coaches and players. Everybody may get affordable and practical sports and fitness coaching from MeraCoach.
Their goal is to make coaching for sports and fitness more effective while also simplifying the process to make it more simple, accessible, and economical.
Success comes in finding those who work hard, and Ranjeet is a real-life illustration of it. This determined individual hasn't stopped striving and fighting for his goals without pausing to take a break.
A family is essential for this wavy adventure story to be complete.
The most important member of his family is his wife, who has not only been his life partner but also his strongest supporter and critic. There are no words or deeds he could ever use to express his gratitude to her.
But he did show his affection and appreciation by keeping his promises to her, whether it be a penthouse in Hiranandani, a solo trip across the world, her favourite jewellery, or her beloved Jaguar.
Also, his two sisters, who helped him when he needed it most and who he will never forget because they stepped up to the plate when he was in need, are another significant member of his family.
There is no doubt that Ranjeet is surrounded by a powerful team and a powerful family.
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
This dialogue does not only belong in a movie but also in real life. Being an owner and in charge is always a fantastic thing, but you also have a tonne of work to do, making it tough to get a good night's sleep.
Failures are inevitable when you start something new, but hiding from them is never a good idea. Instead, be brave and tackle them head-on. Be like a man with a poker face who is always cool and never reacts to anything.
By putting fundamental ideas into very simple phrases rather than using those complicated sentences, Ranjeet inspires everyone, including aspirants and businesspeople.
There is no middle ground, your business concept is either good or poor. If you put in the effort, you can achieve success; else, not even God can rescue you.
“Good ideas, coupled with good execution, lead to success.”
