Mini bio

Before the videos.

Warikoo grew up in Delhi dreaming of becoming an astrophysicist and the first person on Mars. After leaving a physics PhD programme in the US, they returned to India, completed an MBA at ISB and worked in management consulting before moving into internet businesses.

From founder to creator.

They led Groupon India from 2011 to 2015, then co-founded nearbuy and served as CEO until 2019. In 2016, they started warikoo Wednesdays on LinkedIn to attract talent, sharing lessons about being a founder and people manager. The series found an audience beyond hiring.

Lessons in several forms.

Their first book, Do Epic Shit, arrived in December 2021, followed by Get Epic Shit Done in December 2022. Later books explore money, career choices, teenage life and relationships. Alongside the content, Warikoo builds WebVeda, India Genius Challenge and Monzy.
