Aman Gupta is the co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of boAt, the popular Indian consumer electronics brand known for its trendy and affordable audio products. Gupta co-founded boAt in 2016 along with his friend Sameer Mehta, with the aim of providing millennials in India with fashionable, durable and reasonably priced audio accessories.

Gupta has become a household name in India, thanks to his appearance as a “shark” (investor) on the popular reality TV show Shark Tank India. His no-nonsense attitude, witty one-liners, and ability to spot promising startups have made him a fan favourite on the show. One amusing anecdote is how Gupta once jokingly asked a contestant “Aap mujhe apna baap maan sakte ho?” (Can you consider me your father?), showcasing his humorous and playful side.

Aman Gupta’s Evolution from Corporate to Entrepreneurial Success

Prior to co-founding boAt, Gupta had a diverse career, working at Citigroup and later at consumer electronics brand JBL.

Despite facing multiple business failures earlier, Gupta persevered and turned boAt into a massive success story, with the company now being the market leader in the Indian earwear segment.

Gupta’s inspirational journey, from a young Chartered Accountant to a prominent entrepreneur, has made him a role model for aspiring business leaders in India. His ability to identify consumer trends and his marketing acumen have been key drivers behind boAt’s rapid growth and expansion.
