I almost skipped meeting him — now, I can’t stop talking about him. Back in the post-COVID days, as President of Green Panel, I was in Bangalore when a colleague suggested I meet a young entrepreneur. Hearing he was in his early 20s, I hesitated, thinking, What could someone so young offer? But meeting Ankit Garg changed everything. From selling pasta on railway platforms to founding Wakefit in 2016, Ankit’s journey was nothing short of extraordinary. His first venture, a B2B foam business, failed, but it taught him invaluable lessons about manufacturing and adaptability. Today, Wakefit is a ₹700+ crore company with over 40% market share, serving 19,000+ pin codes across India. What impressed me most was Ankit’s customer-centric approach. Ankit’s story is proof that resilience, humility, and a focus on quality can transform dreams into reality. “Success isn’t about where you start but how you finish — and how many lives you touch along the way.”

Building Wakefit with a 40% market share proves that listening to customers is more profitable than chasing trends and like how big is the mattress market in india anyway?

₹700 crore sounds impressive, but how sustainable is this? Most direct-to-consumer brands crash and burn after initial hype. Let's see if Wakefit can maintain this momentum.

Another 'young entrepreneur' success story that glosses over the massive privilege and luck behind the scenes. Where's the real struggle documented?
