Ulhas Tilekar, a Mutual Fund Distributor from Nashik, Maharashtra, is an inspiring figure in the world of Mutual Fund Distribution (MFD). His journey in the MFD business began after a major financial setback. In 2008, Ulhas lost ₹34 lakh due to poor investment decisions and market fluctuations. This experience motivated him to help others avoid similar mistakes. Determined to make a difference, Ulhas entered the mutual fund industry, choosing to become a Mutual Fund Distributor (MFD) to support families in making better financial choices.

He wanted to provide them with the support and knowledge he wished he had during his hard times. In the beginning, he faced common challenges like dealing with complicated forms and compliance issues, which made it hard to focus on his goal. However, instead of giving up, Ulhas stayed focused. Even with limited resources, his determination and passion for helping people reach financial security pushed him forward.

Today, Ulhas Tilekar has made a significant impact, helping over 700 families achieve their financial goals. Thanks to his guidance, more than 24 families have become crorepatis (millionaires). Ulhas’ unique perspective on financial loss and success resonates deeply with his clients, as he understands both the struggle and the joy of achieving financial freedom. Ulhas attributes much of his success to his powerful partnership with AssetPlus in 2018. When he first heard about AssetPlus, he was drawn to the platform’s promise of simplifying the MFD business.
