Why his net worth is hard to estimate
Three things make any estimate uncertain. First, People Group is private, so there is no share price and no public valuation for Shaadi.com. Second, most of his angel investments are small stakes in unlisted startups, and their value changes with each funding round.
Third, the terms of his early Ola investment and any later share sales have not been made public. Until he or his companies disclose more, any single number should be treated with caution.
How Anupam Mittal made his money
Mittal’s wealth comes mainly from Shaadi.com and his angel investments. He started the matrimonial site as Sagai.com in 1997, when internet use in India was still very low. It was later renamed Shaadi.com and grew into one of the largest online matchmaking services for Indians in India and abroad.
Shaadi.com is part of People Group, where Mittal is founder and CEO. The group also started Makaan.com, a property listings site, and Mauj Mobile, which was one of India’s first mobile gaming and content companies.
Fast Company named People Group among the most innovative companies in India in 2011.
Angel investments
Mittal is one of India’s most active angel investors. He has backed more than 250 startups across sectors such as transport, finance, space technology and grocery delivery.
He was one of the earliest investors in Ola, the ride-hailing company. His portfolio also includes gold loan company Rupeek, rocket maker Agnikul Cosmos, online grocer BigBasket and bike taxi service Rapido.
Business Standard named him a top angel investor in 2014 and 2015, and Forbes listed him in 2016 among the most prominent angel investors in India. In 2020, TiE Mumbai named him Outstanding Serial Entrepreneur and Angel Investor.
Shark Tank India
Mittal was one of the original sharks when Shark Tank India premiered on Sony in December 2021, alongside Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar, Peyush Bansal, Ashneer Grover and Ghazal Alagh.
In the first season, he committed about Rs 5.4 crore across 25 businesses. He returned for later seasons, and in season 3, which aired from January to March 2024, his commitments came to about Rs 8.05 crore.
The show made him a household name. His blunt comments to founders have been widely shared as memes on social media.
