It’s hard to define success and happiness because it is different for everyone. The one who is successful might not be happy. One who is happy might not be successful. And the combination of both is rare. This is the story of a young boy who did what made him lose his sleep and inspired him to dream more while he was awake. Jeffin Ani Johns is one of India’s youngest serial entrepreneur who chose the path of entrepreneurship after MBA, and he started his business in 2012 on an online platform and managed multiple business ventures from tech startups to infrastructure to brand consulting. Jeffin received several business awards and had listed in 30 under 30 by many national publications as well. Currently, Jeffin is the founder of AceProFactor and cofounder and CEO of Brandkeeda.
Even as a kid, Jeffin dreamt of being an entrepreneur and wanted to be a leader instead of being a follower. A leader who paved way for others and created a world of his own. When Jeffin was hardly 20 years old, he launched his first online venture called, The Online Market (TOM), where users could buy or sell old and new goods, a site similar to Quikr and OLX of these time.
“ Struggles were real. But as I look back to my initial days, what seemed to be mountains appear to be stepping stones and great life lessons today.’’
The determined young man stood still and brushed away all the struggles and hurdles came his way. Even when things weren’t going smooth Jeffin refused to give up and continued to work to make his dream come true. Because he grew up watching his father who himself is a successful entrepreneur and looked up at him with so much admiration and learned many lessons from him. And he succeeded and brought light into his life as well as others lives too. Elon Musk of Tesla, Ritesh Agarwal of OYO are other successful icons who Jeffin got inspired by.
Jeffin and his team inspire and help the young generation across the world by upskilling through unique and structured online, offline, and hybrid educational and skill development courses and test series. Moreover, the global education and skill development venture, AceProFactor is CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) channel partner for many national and multinational brands. They conduct fully and partially sponsored programs for thousands of underprivileged young and adult citizens majorly in India every year. And it is focused on their personal and professional development.
Jeffin is one of those successful young icon who is looked up by budding and aspiring entrepreneurs. For him, success is having the power and influence on changing lives and outlook of over 50000 underprivileged youths in India through corporate funded skill development programs. Jeffin thinks this is only a beginning from his part and undoubtedly there will be waves of changes are yet to come.
