Jiwan Deep Ghai, popularly known as JD Ghai, runs the well-known www.santabanta.com.
This infotainment providing website has been enjoying an ever
increasing user base for over 13 years now who dedicatedly log on to the
site for their daily dose of humour, interesting anecdotes, fanciful
e-cards, a slew of wallpapers, Bollywood gossip and a host of other
attractive features for varied age groups.
Featured among the top 1000
players in the global Internet world, the site receives a whopping 100
million visitors every month. What began as a platform for sharing
humour is now a multi-crore company employing over 25 people.
Born into a business family of Ludhiana, JDs father dealt in real estate and mother worked as a teacher. Ghai completed his schooling from Guru Nanak Public School and studied Commerce at Satish Chandra Dhawan Government College, Ludhiana, before pursuing his MBA from Punjabi University.
Even as he involved himself in the real estate and other businesses, humour remained a driving force for him. Eventually in 2010, Ghai, along with a friend who had expertise in Information Technology, gave birth to the site that began as a funny portal. The site has seen its ups and downs over the years, survived the dotcom bust and today stands as a booming one-stop point for full-on entertainment.
“Serious infotainment business,” says JD. For the last nine years, Ghai has been staying in Chandigarh now from where he operates the thriving media house. Persistence and patience, says Ghai, has been the key to his success.
