On this episode of the Born or Made Podcast, we feature Jithu Sajeevan, a 23-year-old entrepreneur who turned challenge into momentum after moving from India to the United States at a young age.

Once struggling with English as a freshman, Jithu went on to become president of four high school clubs, earn more than 40 scholarships, and attend the University of Connecticut on a full ride.

He is now the founder of the CheckMate Team, a rapidly growing real estate group that has closed over $12 million in sales within six months, while also building a portfolio of 21 rental units by age 22. Jithu also shares his journey working with SERHANT., the media-driven brokerage founded by Ryan Serhant.
