Discovering your true purpose begins with awareness, which unfolds through a continuous journey of learning. Ankur Warikoo, a serial entrepreneur, public speaker, mentor, and angel investor, initially struggled to find the right path despite having a three-step plan for his future. At 24, feeling that something was missing, Warikoo decided to completely reset his life and embark on a quest for purpose.
After earning an MBA from ISB, Warikoo joined Kearney as a management consultant before launching his first venture, SecondShaadi.com, in 2009. He went on to build several notable ventures, including Gaadi.com, Groupon India, and Groupon APAC, which later evolved into Nearby. Warikoo served as CEO of Nearby until 2019. In 2016, he started “Warikoo Wednesdays” on LinkedIn, where he shared insights from his experiences as a founder and CEO. This initiative resonated with him deeply, leading him to pivot from his role as CEO to become a content creator and advocate for awareness.
Through speaking engagements at conferences, corporate events, and educational institutions, Warikoo discovered his passion for public speaking and knowledge sharing. He now offers online courses through his website, focusing on two main areas: guiding aspiring entrepreneurs through their initial journey and helping individuals make informed life choices.
His most popular course, “A Complete Guide to Starting Up,” features eight modules with lifetime access and has been purchased by over 10,000 people. Warikoo has published 947 articles, created 2000 minutes of content, and built a growing social media following of 1.6 million. His content includes e-books, blogs, videos, and wallpapers, catering to students, freelancers, consultants, founders, and full-time employees.
Access these courses to benefit from Warikoo’s extensive entrepreneurial experience and guidance, and take a significant step toward finding your own purpose and building a successful startup.
