Ankur Warikoo

Ankur Warikoo is an Indian author, entrepreneur and educator, one of the most popular voices on careers, money and self-improvement in India. His collections Do Epic Shit and Get Epic Shit Done grew from his celebrated social-media philosophy — distilled long-form posts on failure, money, success and detachment — and have sold in the hundreds of thousands.

Warikoo founded the price-comparison businesses nearbuy and the digital skill school JUNIOR-A, and has been an angel investor in dozens of startups. His open, vulnerable style — publishing his own failures as well as his wins — made him a near-cult figure for Indian professionals, and his books mix memoir, aphorism and blunt instruction in equal measure.
