The Cashback Connection: The Inspiring Journey of Rohan and Swati Bhargava
When two hearts find common ground in a vision greater than themselves, the results can be transformative - not just for them, but for millions of others.
Some couples bond over long walks on the beach. Others bond over shared interests in art, literature, or food. For Rohan and Swati Bhargava, the bond was forged through a shared passion for innovation, entrepreneurship and creating value for people. Today, they stand as the dynamic duo behind CashKaro, India’s leading cashback and coupons platform. Their story - rich in ambition, love and the desire to help millions of consumers save money - is a powerful testament to how vision and partnership can come together to spark industry-wide transformation.
Distinct Beginnings, Convergent Dreams
Swati’s Quest for Excellence
Born and raised in Ambala, Swati Bhargava was a bright student from the very start. Her hard work and determination secured her a scholarship to the prestigious London School of Economics (LSE), where she dived into the world of finance. After graduating, she embarked on her career at Goldman Sachs in London, immersing herself in the fast-paced environment of global finance while nurturing a quiet dream of starting something of her own.
Rohan’s Analytical Flair
Across the globe, Rohan Bhargava was blazing his own trail. Equipped with a strong analytical mind and a degree in finance, he, too, found himself in the bustling corridors of Goldman Sachs. With a natural gift for numbers and strategy, Rohan developed a keen interest in how technology could make financial transactions more efficient, transparent and beneficial to everyday users.
What the two didn’t know then was that their individual paths were about to merge into a journey neither had anticipated - one that would change their lives and eventually millions of others.
A Chance Encounter in London
Though both worked at Goldman Sachs, it took a while for Swati and Rohan to truly connect. London’s busy corporate world isn’t typically associated with fairytale meetings, but the pair’s first real conversation - sparked by a mutual friend’s introduction - did feel a bit like fate. They discovered shared interests, complementary strengths and a mutual sense of humor that made navigating the city’s grey winters brighter.
Late-night chats about market trends and personal ambitions turned into a growing respect for each other’s intellect and drive. It wasn’t long before respect blossomed into affection, setting the stage for a relationship defined by trust, friendship and common goals.
