From Dropping Out to Standing Out

Warikoo shared his personal story of leaving a Ph.D. program in the USA, completing his MBA from ISB (Indian School of Business), and beginning his career in the consulting industry.

He explained the difference between people who are passive earners and those who are active investors.“Some people are satisfied with just doing their job and earning a salary. But others go beyond—they actively invest, track stocks, do trading, and look for bold opportunities,” he said.Warikoo highlighted how the digital world has changed growth possibilities in India. “While many spend their entire lives working for a small salary hike, digital creators and entrepreneurs today are growing at incredible speeds,” he said.This kind of progress, he added, is surprising yet possible when we believe in ourselves.“When others place a bet on you, the best thing you can do is to bet on yourself too,” he added.
