Anupam Mittal shares his entrepreneurial journey
Recalling the initial days of his life, Anupam Mittal said that his father did great in the textiles business but there came a time when they faced financial crunch. He stated, “We wouldn't realize it as kids. But about 20 of us were living in a house of 1000 square feet. Some were sleeping on the dining table, some others under it. However, as kids you don't think much and enjoy having so many kids around.”
Continuing with his thread of narration, the founder of matrimonial site revealed that his father prospered in some time and he went to the US for studies. However, his fate was tough as he couldn't find a job there. Anupam decided not to tell his parents about it as they would ask him to return to India. “That was the first time I experienced hunger. This is something everybody should do in life once because experiencing hunger teaches you a lot. There was a time when I didn't eat for 2-3 days because I couldn't eat. Friends helped but after a while you also feel bad. Credit cards are maxed out. Everything was finished. I wasn't on the streets but there was a lack of resources,” quoted the shark.
