Shark Tank India judge Anupam Mittal on what keeps him motivated: '…honestly, I don't….'

Shark Tank India judge and Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal recently shared his perspective on how to stay motivated when facing setbacks. In a long LinkedIn post, Mittal emphasised a more practical and grounded approach rather than relying on quick fixes and life hacks. He also admitted that he doesn’t have a secret formula for motivation. Mittal openly admits that he doesn't have a "killer answer" or a specific routine to stay motivated. Instead, he relies on a combination of physical activity and a focus on a larger purpose.

“Wish I had a killer answer. But honestly… I don’t. There’s no life hack. No 5 AM routine that magically keeps it all together,” Mittal wrote.

He also stated that his go-to strategy revolves around trial, error, and repetition, emphasising the importance of movement—whether it’s gym sessions, walks, yoga, or even squats during stressful calls. He also stressed on the fact that practice of meditation helped him in maintaining emotional balance and stay in control.

Apart from physical habits Mittal also feels that resilience comes from remembering a larger purpose and he encourages people to stay focused on long term goals rather than short term setbacks.

How do I stay motivated through setbacks?


Wish I had a killer answer. But honestly… I don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️


There’s no life hack. No 5 AM routine that magically keeps it all together.


Most days, I just figure it out (like everyone else) - Trial. Error. Repeat.

What’s helped me, though?

I move 🏃


Gym, walk, yoga, squats in the middle of a stressful call - whatever keeps my head from spiraling. And I meditate so that I do not lose it by 11 AM 😅


But I also think the everyday fighting spirit comes from more than just that physical movement...


It comes by remembering that the purpose is bigger than the pain 🎯


That the short-term dip is just that - short-term. And the long-term version of you deserves that extra rep, that small reset, that one more push.


For me, that reminder has carried me through the fog on more days than I can count.


PS - If you’ve figured out the formula, do share it. I’d love to know 💪
