Mumbai, Maharashtra Jun 24, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Jeetesh is of 35 years in his prime, a raring founder of MintingM Technologies, a company developing bots for cryptocurrency asset management. Having a decade-long experience in Business intelligence, Jeetesh did put down his papers overnight at this prior comfortable IT job with no other job prospect in hand. He was very clear that he would want to start something of his own soon and had no intentions of getting back into the job market.
He says, "I was always an entrepreneur in my heart. Even when I was eleven, I picked up discarded flex printed banners from the neighborhood, to cut them into strips and sell them as bicycle wheel decor for 100 Rs a piece! I learned to handle a large number of customers during a short stint at a call center. I also worked as a loan verification agent for a while just for the fun of it. I will not even talk about my visits to the JNPT port, while I was working as a customs clearing agent. With the magnitude of risks that I took while in my youth, later I realized, I could have diverted some attention to the stock markets. People remarked that I had a keen analytical sense. When I started investing, it was already 2016! I wondered if cryptocurrency markets (back then just introduced in India) had any sense for long-term investments. And that's how I got into what now is an asset management company for digital entities"
"It seemed so unimaginable, impossible and all so difficult with the million in one start-up idea, but I stood on. Here we thought Covid was the worst that could happen to all, but we rarely estimated the teething troubles of running a start-up. When we thought we almost sailed through 2021, the Big C hit us."
For most of us, cancer is such an exclamation!! For Jeetesh and his family, it was all about processing it soon, so that they could move on and work harder and faster on what Jeetesh had created. Diagnosed with a malignant salivary gland tumor (no known cause and rarest of the rare cases), more than the cancer diagnosis, the fact that Jeetesh would have his right side of the face paralyzed was something none can ever be prepared enough with. With no guarantees of significant improvement of the face, it was a long time till anyone could be mentally prepared to get back to life as we know it. But Jeetesh, being what he is, the day he was out of the ICU he asked for his laptop and started working on it. It’s the inner zeal and passion of the individual that keeps life going. Cancer was not at all a setback for him. Though it might have caused him a momentary brake, the car never stopped driving!
Now- Not having stopped work for more than 3 months after his surgery and radiotherapy, he has built a team of 8 highly capable people and is about to raise funding for the first time since 2019. Yes, Jeetesh worked bootstrapped for 2 years and has successfully managed more than 1 million USD funds under the brand name XMINT.
Jeetesh continues, "I do believe going through what I have gone through is a part and parcel of growing up. A life uniquely teaches its lessons. I have never been more determined and focused on MintingM. Cancer or any other life-threatening disease should never be a deterrent to one's dreams and goals. We have to remember that a founder is building on an idea not just for himself but for the people that follow. A founder is responsible for the futures of so many involved and invested in the idea. So, keep at it - always, no matter what life throws at you."
Tough times don’t last, Tough people, do!!
