Profiles: Jitendra P.S. Solanki

Regular readers know that I’m trying to create a directory of financial services providers here, and from time to time I invite financial advisers who have been answering questions on the comments section sincerely to create a profile for themselves. There are presently just 3 profiles on the site, and Jitendra’s is the fourth one.

This number is so low because the profiles are invitation only, and the only way to get an invitation is to answer questions sincerely in the comments section.

With that said, here is Jitendra’s profile.
