Chairman, Marwari Catalysts Group
“The poorest person in the world is not the one without money, but the one without a dream.”
Sushil Sharma’s dream is bold and clear: to build 1,000 entrepreneurs in the next 10 years from emerging cities and connect them with opportunities across India and the world.
His achievements reflect a commitment not only to business success, but also to ecosystem creation, social contribution, sports development, and nation building.
Sushil Sharma has successfully built and exited two technology companies, created an IT Park in Jodhpur, and built global exposure through ventures including an agriculture farmhouse initiative in Africa.
With exposure across India and international markets, he brings a rare combination of local insight, global perspective, trust, relationships, and long-term impact.
For Sushil, entrepreneurship is not only about building companies. It is about courage, conviction, learning from mistakes, creating opportunities, and standing with founders through their most difficult phases.
He began his entrepreneurial journey as a struggling founder, facing failures, rejections, challenges, and uncertainty.
Instead of treating failures as setbacks, he treated them as lessons that sharpen courage, clarity, and execution.
His philosophy is rooted in the belief that without courage, one cannot take risks — and without risks, one cannot build something meaningful.
While the startup ecosystem has largely been concentrated in metros, Sushil saw massive untapped potential in Tier II and Tier III India.
Small-town founders have ambition, hunger, resilience, market understanding, and strong values.
Many lack access to capital, mentorship, technology, networks, and institutional support.
His vision is to build entrepreneurial clusters in emerging cities and help founders access metro-quality support.
Sushil believes founders do not need only money. They need people who understand their journey, stand beside them, share risks, open networks, guide strategy, and help them make better decisions.
His approach is deeply relationship-driven, focused on becoming a co-builder in the founder’s journey.
The platform supports entrepreneurs with capital, mentorship, technology, networks, resources, and institutional strength.
He believes the right mentor or strategic investor can significantly ease the life of a founder or business owner.
His leadership combines ambition with humility, risk-taking with responsibility, and global thinking with grassroots commitment.
For Sushil Sharma, success is not only about reaching a destination. It is about making the journey meaningful for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
