From a Small Town Entrepreneur to Maharashtra State Vice Chairman of MSME Promotion Council of India

I am Aniket Bagal, a small-town entrepreneur from Man-Khatav, Satara, who migrated to Pune to pursue dreams and overcome struggles. Growing up in a humble family, with my mother as a teacher and my father a bank employee, I learned responsibility early on. Despite challenges after my 12th grade, I moved to Pune, worked as an insurance agent while pursuing my diploma, and later faced greater responsibilities after my father’s passing.

In 2014, I launched my first startup, an online shopping platform for rural areas, which thrived until demonetization in 2016. Although this setback left investors’ money stuck, I repaid all debts and a new began. In 2017, I founded EES WEB, specializing in digital marketing, and later established Infinite Trading Academy in 2021, educating people about the stock market.

With resilience and entrepreneurial spirit, we have achieved a ₹2 crore turnover and aim to launch an IPO by 2025, setting a benchmark for Marathi entrepreneurs. Today, as the Maharashtra State Vice Chairman of the MSME Promotion Council of India, I am committed to creating impactful opportunities and driving growth for MSMEs across the state.
