During the interview, we still remember one of his quotes, “I am a determined and focused person. Whenever I decide to achieve anything, I normally achieve it half of the time span of my decided timeline.”
Devang Laheru embodies a deeply inspirational and self-motivated persona.

In his quest to create equitable opportunities for all, Devang founded Assets Aims with a clear vision. A prominent aspect of Assets Aims’ portfolio includes Credit and NPA Consultancy and the design of Business Credit Risk Models tailored to clients’ funding requirements. Mentioning the topmost problem he solved, Devang says, “I improved a client’s CMR rank, and he got a loan amount of 24 Cr in just 23 working days.”
Since its inception on June 12, 2019, Assets Aims Consultant Private Limited, under Devang’s astute leadership, has embarked on a remarkable trajectory of growth and success. All this is because “I rate myself best when it comes to Goal Setting and Communication Skills Training.
