Rishabh Jain, aka RJ, is a successful cryptopreneur to watch out for in 2022. At the young age of 25, he started his multi-national company, Shiftal - a P2P crypto exchange platform. Being a man of determination and action, Rishabh Jain realized that he is not into being just an employee in any organization. He wanted to be an entrepreneur.He goes by the idea to be consistent and show up.

How did the journey start?

Rishabh Jain recalls having done projects as a hobby. He made his first $300,000 through Crypto trading in a very short period of 6 months. He always wanted to launch one of the top 10 cryptocurrency companies in India. However, during the initial stage, there were hardly any resources that would normally be required to put up a company. "It was all trial and error that helped me understand it'', he says. He also explains that Shiftal was built with thorough research as its base. Being the forerunner of "an exchange that transacts at lightning speed', Rishabh Jain says he has huge plans for Shiftal and is proud to see it grow.

What were the challenges en route?

It was a tough road ahead. Rishabh Jain calls his approach slow yet strategic. He also quotes his mother saying that delays are blessings in disguise. Lack of adequate investment was one of the toughest challenges that Rishabh Jain had to face in his early days. Being an amateur in business and starting an organization is not a cakewalk. He says, "Running a company and handling 40+ employees single-handedly without an office was a struggle in itself." Above that, seeing the company go bankrupt time and again should have not been pleasant. He had to sell his personal belongings to fund the company's survival. With nothing but his skill set and determination, it was yet again another huge challenge to increase the valuation of the company from 0.2 Million $ to 7 Million $, all organically. However, he succeeded in it over a span of 2 years.

Right decisions at the right time

Rishabh Jain, in his entrepreneurial career, has taken some very important decisions at the right time. This skill of his stood as a huge driving force to boost the company's overall performance.

Another such major decision that he took was much earlier. It was after his post-graduation that he realized he wanted to be an entrepreneur. Acquiring the right mindset to be successful in one's mission and set out with almost nothing can be dreadful for many. Even one wrong step could have pulled him away from achieving his dreams. Every second when someone hesitated to make such strong decisions, he took the decision and stood by it; This makes him unique.
