This investment signals a turning point in the journey of Sharan Hegde, a prominent finfluencer who dared to dream big.

Sharan Hegde’s story is an inspiring tale of persistence and resilience in the ever-evolving world of fintech. Just a few months ago, headlines suggested the demise of influencers like him. However, against all odds, he has proven the naysayers wrong and taken a significant step towards his vision. He recently shared his excitement on LinkedIn, saying, “Did I imagine Zerodha’s Nikhil Kamath investing 10 crores in me when just a few months back headlines declared ‘the end’ of finfluencers like me? Not in my wildest dreams did I think I would get this opportunity when I started creating content 3 years back. But today, my vision stands validated with 10 crores in funding, and the phoenix in me has been born. My days of empowering people have only just begun, and now we are a 50+ strong team.”

Sharan Hegde’s journey is a testament to the power of unwavering determination. He initially began as a content creator, providing financial insights and advice. His community grew steadily as he shared his knowledge, but he didn’t stop there. Instead, he pivoted and transformed his community into ‘The 1% Club,’ a platform designed to offer educational resources, mentorship, and entrepreneurial opportunities to help individuals plan their financial future.
