Business career

Anupam Mittal founded Shaadi.com after he met a marriage broker in India who went door to door carrying biodata in his suitcase. Mittal figured an online medium would increase a person's chances of finding the right person.[6] The Web site's profiles diverge little from what has been traditionally done for decades. Among personal and hobbies sections are the traditional questions about family values and parents' education, Hindu horoscope signs, married siblings and mother tongue.

He received a MBA in Operations and Strategic Management from Boston College.[7] He is the Founder & CEO of People Group, which includes business such as Shaadi.com, Makaan.com, Mauj Mobile and People Pictures.

He is included in BusinessWeek's India's 50 most powerful people.[8]
