Jitendra Kumar, better known as Sachiv Ji from the famous web series Panchayat, is one of India’s most-loved OTT actors. While he plays a simple government officer in the village of Phulera, his real-life lifestyle is far from simple.
With the release of Panchayat Season 4 around the corner, fans are excited to see more of Sachiv Ji. But many don’t know that the actor behind this humble role is living a life of success, comfort, and luxury.
Let’s take a look at Jitendra Kumar’s net worth, fees, and lifestyle – and yes, it may surprise you!
From IIT to Indian TV Star
Jitendra Kumar was born in Khairthal, Rajasthan and is an IIT Kharagpur graduate. Yes, you read that right — the same IIT where India’s top engineers come from.
While studying civil engineering, Jitendra developed a passion for acting and joined a dramatics society. His college acting journey eventually led him to TVF (The Viral Fever), where he gained fame for roles in Pitchers, Kota Factory, and Tech Conversations With Dad.
Big Break with ‘Panchayat’
Although he was already popular on YouTube, Panchayat, released on Amazon Prime Video in 2020, made Jitendra Kumar a household name.
He plays Abhishek Tripathi, a young engineering graduate who becomes the secretary (Sachiv) of a village panchayat office. His performance — natural, relatable, and powerful — won the hearts of millions.
Since then, Jitendra has appeared in films and web shows like:
- Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (with Ayushmann Khurrana)
- Chaman Bahaar
- Jaadugar (Netflix)

Lifestyle: Simple On-Screen, Stylish in Real Life

- He stays in Mumbai in a stylish, cozy apartment
- He owns a Hyundai Creta and other luxury items
- He is often seen at award shows, web summits, and film festivals
