Rajesh Jyotishi, also known as R.J., joined the insurance and financial services industry in 1991 with New York Life. Within a short time, he realized that in order to provide his clientele with the most competitive products on the market, he must represent many other providers. Each company had its own strengths and niche products. In 1993, he started his own practice as a sole proprietor. He formed Shalin Financial Services in 1994—named after his oldest son Shalin, meaning modest or humble—with the fundamental objective to provide our clients with a competitive range of insurance and investment products from many companies.
Over the years, Rajesh has assisted thousands of individuals and business owners with insurance, investments and financial planning needs.
This was before the internet had made it easy for the consumers to find the lowest rates.
Rajesh is also the founder of Khabar, a popular magazine for the Asian Indian community of Georgia with a readership of about 90,000. Khabar means news in most of the many Indian dialects. The digital edition can be located at www.khabar.com . Rajesh also hosts the “Moneywise” section of Khabar, which has been widely received. Many of the articles on this website are reprints from “Moneywise” columns.
Rajesh received his undergraduate degree in business administration from Georgia State University. He has also completed numerous professional designation courses: Certifed Estate Planner (CEP), Master Certified Estate Planner (MCEP), Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), Certified in Long Term Care (CLTC), and Life Underwriter’s Training Coucil (LUTC). He also finished the Financial Planning program at Oglethorpe University. However, he does not currently hold any of the designations mentioned above for many personal reasons.
