Hi! I’m Ankur Warikoo. And thanks for taking an interest in reading about me!
In my career, I have been fortunate enough to be on the list of ‘Fortune 40 under 40’ and am one of the ‘top 25 LinkedIn profiles’ in India. But I came from extremely humble beginnings.
In 2002- I worked hard and made it to a top US university for a PhD. Program in Physics, on a full scholarship. I recall my dad taking a loan of Rs. 55,000 to pay for the one-way ticket to the US.But I came from extremely humble beginnings.
Fast forward to 2009, I founded my first venture with my batchmates from ISB, called SecondShaadi.com and Gaadi.com. And thus my entrepreneurial journey began. After selling Gaadi.com in 2010 I started Groupon’s India business in 2011. I was also Head of Groupon APAC from 2013-15.
In 2015, I Co-founded nearbuy.com and was its CEO until 2019. At nearbuy.com, we built a high-performance team of more than 400 people, generated $100Mn of annual sales, raised more than $40mn from marquee investors & exited for more than $100mn.
Currently, as of 2021, I am also a content creator, an angel investor, and love mentoring first-time entrepreneurs.
My aim is to help them and you avoid the same mistakes I made when I started up
“The Complete Guide to Starting Up is my 11 years of entrepreneurial experience condensed into a comprehensive but easy to understand course.”
