# Our Story

Every successful institution begins with a purpose.

The foundation of Varad Financial Services was laid in 2003, when our Founder, Sachin M. Kharate, CFP®, entered the financial services industry while working in the hospitality sector. With determination, continuous learning and a strong desire to help families achieve financial security, the journey began through Life Insurance distribution. 

In 2005, the organisation expanded into General Insurance, offering Health Insurance and other protection solutions.

Recognising the growing importance of long-term wealth creation, Mutual Fund Distribution was added in 2007. During the same year, the decision was made to dedicate himself full-time to the financial services profession, and on 2 December 2007, the first office was established in Nashik.

A defining milestone came in 2012, when the globally recognised CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®) certification was earned, reflecting a commitment to professional excellence, ethics and continuous learning.

Over the years, the organisation continued to grow through knowledge, disciplined processes and investor trust. Important milestones included receiving the prestigious MFRT Samman Award along with featuring by Cafe Mutual in 2016 , also featured by Morningstar in 2017, qualifying the PMS Certification Examination (2024) and SIF Certification Examination (2025).

The organisation also embraced digital investor education in 2024, reaching thousands of people through educational content in Marathi across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn.

As the business expanded, all operations were transitioned to Varad Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. on 1 January 2026, establishing a professionally managed corporate structure. With the opening of the Pune Office on 2 May 2026, the company strengthened its presence across Maharashtra while continuing to serve investors with the same values on which it was founded.
