The quiet revolution happening in rural Maharashtra through Sadguru Cable and Internet Service
In the villages of Rethare Harnakasha, Bhavaninagar, Bichud, Takari, Dudhari, and Shirte, there’s a name that’s become synonymous with connection—not just to the internet, but to opportunity itself. That name is Sadguru Cable and Internet Service, and behind it stands Mr. Shrinath Dhondiram Jadhav, a man on a mission.
The Founder
Name: Shrinath Dhondiram Jadhav
Service Areas: Rethare Harnakasha, Bhavaninagar, Bichud, Takari, Dudhari, Shirte
Founded: 2017
Core Focus: Reliable cable and internet services for underserved rural communities
Serving: Residential customers and small businesses
The Problem That Couldn’t Be Ignored
Picture this: It’s 2017. In cities across India, people are streaming movies, attending virtual meetings, and building online businesses. But in villages like Rethare Harnakasha and Bhavaninagar, the digital revolution hasn’t arrived yet.
Schools struggle to access online educational resources. Small business owners can’t compete in digital marketplaces. Farmers miss out on real-time market prices. Young students preparing for competitive exams have no way to access video tutorials that their urban counterparts take for granted.
The internet wasn’t just missing—opportunity was missing.
For Mr. Shrinath Dhondiram Jadhav, this wasn’t an abstract problem. He watched his own community get left behind, and he decided to do something about it.
The Solution: More Than Just Connectivity
In 2017, Mr. Shrinath launched Sadguru Cable and Internet Service with a singular vision: bridge the digital gap that was holding his community back. But this wasn’t about installing cables and routers. This was about fundamentally changing what was possible in rural Maharashtra.
What Makes Sadguru Different?
Affordability as a Philosophy
Mr. Shrinath understood that expensive internet packages would simply replace one barrier with another. Sadguru’s services are priced for the reality of rural incomes—affordable enough for families, accessible enough for small businesses.
Reliability in Remote Areas
Urban dwellers complain when their internet lags during peak hours. Rural customers need to know their connection will work at all. Sadguru’s focus on reliable cable and internet services means students don’t lose their online classes mid-session and shop owners can process digital payments without anxiety.
Villages, Not Just Addresses
While most ISPs focus on dense urban areas where profits are easier, Sadguru deliberately chose to serve Rethare Harnakasha, Bhavaninagar, Bichud, Takari, Dudhari, and Shirte—places that major telecom companies had overlooked.
The Ripple Effects of Connection
When the internet arrives in a previously disconnected village, something remarkable happens. It’s not just about technology—it’s about transformation.
Education Gets Democratized
Students in Rethare Harnakasha can now access the same educational content as students in Mumbai. Online coaching, video lectures, digital libraries—all suddenly available. The postal code no longer determines the quality of education a child can access.
Small Businesses Think Bigger
Local entrepreneurs who once sold only to neighboring villages can now reach customers across Maharashtra—or across India. A craftsperson in Bhavaninagar can list products on e-commerce platforms. A small shop owner in Bichud can accept digital payments and maintain inventory online.
Sadguru hasn’t just provided the internet; it’s provided the possibility.
Employment Where It’s Needed Most
By creating operations across multiple villages, Sadguru has generated local employment opportunities. Technical support, installation teams, customer service—these jobs keep talent in rural areas rather than forcing young people to migrate to cities.
Digital Literacy Through Action
Beyond installation, Mr. Shrinath has promoted digital literacy within the communities he serves. When residents understand how to leverage the internet for education, commerce, and communication, connectivity becomes empowerment.
The Numbers Tell a Story
- Founded: 2017 (7+ years of dedicated rural service)
- Villages Served: 6 distinct communities across rural Maharashtra
- Customer Segments: Residential families and small businesses
- Interruption Rate: Minimal—residents now depend on consistent connectivity for daily needs
- Impact: From education to e-commerce, from telemedicine consultations to connecting with distant family
What Residents Are Saying (Without Saying)
You won’t find flashy testimonials or marketing campaigns around Sadguru Cable and Internet Service. But you’ll find something more authentic:
- The teenager from Takari who got into a good college after accessing online test prep materials
- The woman entrepreneur in Dudhari who now sells homemade products beyond her village
- The elderly farmer in Shirte who video calls his grandchildren working in Pune
- The small shop in Bhavaninagar that now accepts UPI payments (Digital Payments), increasing sales by 40%
These aren’t marketing stories. These are daily realities made possible by reliable internet.
The Man Behind the Mission
Mr. Shrinath Dhondiram Jadhav doesn’t speak much about himself—he’d rather let his work speak. But his approach reveals something important about effective social entrepreneurship:
He didn’t wait for government programs or corporate CSR initiatives. He identified a gap, calculated that he could fill it sustainably, and launched a service that’s both commercially viable and socially impactful.
He chose the harder path—serving rural areas with lower population density and challenging terrain—because he understood that impact matters more than easy profits.
He’s focused on reliability over flashiness, affordability over premium pricing, and community benefit over rapid expansion.
That’s not just good business. That’s leadership.
The Bigger Picture
India’s digital divide isn’t just about technology—it’s about equity. When rural communities lack internet access, they lack:
- Educational equity (urban students have advantages rural students don’t)
- Economic opportunity (small businesses can’t compete in digital markets)
- Healthcare access (telemedicine becomes impossible)
- Social connection (families stay separated by distance)
- Civic participation (digital governance initiatives exclude rural citizens)
Entrepreneurs like Mr. Shrinath are filling the gaps that policy discussions often miss. Village by village, connection by connection, they’re ensuring that digital India isn’t just an urban phenomenon.
