Shaadi.Com's Anupam Mittal Says Being Laid Off Early In Career ‘Was Best Thing That Could’ve Happened To Him’

Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal recently shared how failure early on in his career helped him immensely. Mittal called the layoff ‘the best thing’ that could have happened to him, as it resulted in him launching the matrimonial site Shaadi.com, reported Moneycontrol. But it was the best thing that could’ve happened to me.” The entrepreneur was referring to his job at MicroStrategy where he was given stock options. During the Barbershop podcast earlier this year, Mittal said, “I had joined as a sales consultant but very quickly I rose through ranks to become the director of strategic partnerships so I had a lot of stock options and had become a multi-millionaire in my early twenties.
