In the bustling world of entrepreneurship, few stories stand out as much as that of Dinesh Thada, the Founder of Surge Marketing Ventures LLP. Born and raised in Ajmer, Rajasthan, Dinesh’s early years were grounded in academics, graduating with a Mathematics Honors degree followed by a postgraduate qualification in Management. His career began in the corporate corridors of leading global companies like Kores India Limited, ICI Paints, and Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd., where he dedicated over 13 years, including 9 years as a Key Account Manager at Shell.
While his corporate career was promising, something was amiss. The routine of contributing to systems that worked with or without him left him searching for a deeper purpose. He realized he wanted to create a direct and meaningful impact on people’s lives. This desire led him to take a leap of faith in 2015, leaving behind the comfort of a salaried job to embrace the uncertainties of entrepreneurship.
With no family background in business and just ₹50,000 as starting capital, he ventured into the competitive world of corporate gifting. This was not an impulsive decision; rather, it was driven by his understanding of the market from years in sales and business development. Organizations were spending heavily on promotional and corporate gifting, but reliable vendors, timely deliveries, and creative solutions were lacking. Surge Marketing Ventures LLP, established on 12th October 2021, was his answer to this gap.
The journey was far from smooth. Financial stability, finding the right team, and working capital challenges tested his resolve. But Dinesh’s belief in consistency and pure action helped him navigate these hurdles. Today, with a turnover of ₹1.7 Crore (FY24-25) and a growing team of 11 members, Surge Marketing Ventures is known for seamless gifting solutions from planning to delivery.
Dinesh’s story is not just about business growth; it’s about perseverance, vision, and the courage to walk away from comfort to chase a purpose-driven life. His journey inspires aspiring entrepreneurs to believe that with integrity, resilience, and a clear mission, success is not just possible—it’s inevitable.
