Anupam Mittal, the popular entrepreneur from Shark Tank India, recently shared insights about his challenging journey and the bold decisions that shaped his career. Known for his risk-taking mindset, Mittal revealed that he has passed up lucrative opportunities to focus on embracing challenges, which he believes have been instrumental in his success.
In a candid conversation on YouTube, Mittal opened up about the failures he encountered before finding his footing. “Before going to the US, I’d failed in three or four businesses here. I started as a teenage entrepreneur, but nothing landed. I would start something new every two years,” he admitted. It was these setbacks that led him to pursue a scholarship to study in the United States. He reflected, “If these businesses hadn’t failed, I wouldn’t have gone to the US.”
Anupam Mittal’s career in the US began on a high note, quickly propelling him to financial success. “My career was on steroids. I was a multi-millionaire in my early 20s,” he said. However, losing his job unexpectedly became a life-altering moment. “I got fired from my job. And that’s when I started Shaadi.com. I was gutted when I was laid off. But it was the best thing that could’ve happened to me,” he added.
Anupam emphasized that taking risks remains central to his life philosophy. Whether it’s launching new ventures or navigating setbacks, he believes every challenge holds an opportunity for growth. “Failures have been key to my success, as everything eventually falls into place,” he explained, underscoring the value of resilience in the face of adversity.
Ahead of Shark Tank India Season 4, Anupam Mittal’s story serves as an inspiration for entrepreneurs looking to embrace risks and learn from failures. His journey from failed ventures to building Shaadi.com and becoming a celebrated investor highlights the power of persistence and adaptability.
