About Asesh Sarkar:
Asesh Sarkar was born in the UK to immigrant parents, who had no support and little money. Just as he had seen his parents toil to provide for the family growing up, Asesh Sarkar also had to overcome his lack of academic ability by working extra hard.

From there Asesh Sarkar took a leap into the unknown to become a social impact entrepreneur, founding breakthrough FinTech platform, Salary Finance, in 2015.
