Anupam is not a common entrepreneur. In 1997, he started an online wedding service called "Sagaai.com", which came for a very small idea. Back in the 90s, he used to live in the US and used to come to India once every year for a holiday, on one such trip of his while he was working at his father's office when he encountered a traditional matchmaker, who used to get people married back in the day. When he met the matchmaker, he even tried to get Anupam hitched but as Anupam was trying to get rid of him, an idea struck him, that since the concept of the internet was catching up in the world, why not introduce an online platform, that people can access to find suitable brides and grooms for themselves.
So, in 1997 he launches "Sagaai.com", though this was an experiment it soon turned into a business that people actually wanted to access. So, after reading and watching the market space as to what people liked and didn't like in 1999, he changed its name to "Shaadi.com", believing that it will be a marketable name. He started the company under the People Group with just a simple aim of providing a matchmaking experience by expanding opportunities for meeting a potential life partner.
The main market for this online wedding service is India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Canada, United Arab Emirates, the UK, and United States.
Shaadi.com is not the only business under People Group. Now the group has various businesses running under "People Group"; the group owns companies like "Mauj Mobile App" and "Makaan.com".
His business "Makaan.com" which is a part of the "Elara Technologies, Singapore" is another business of his that is fast growing and is a property-related website in India. This website has bridged the gap and has connected sellers and buyers via an easy access medium.
He is also one of the most successful financial backers for businesses like Cafe Zoe, Ola Cabs, and many more such businesses. He has partnerships with 100+ small and mid-segment companies.
