“Unfortunately a Civil Engineer, Fortunately & Passionately a Professional Emcee, Soft Skills Trainer, Motivational Speaker & an Artist,” Anchor Anupam Anand kicks off all his shows with these lines.
Anchor Anupam Anand has experience of over a thousand shows, with his career spanning over eight years. A civil engineer by education and an artist by profession, he earned bread and butter through freelancing since his college days. He says, “I feel an event is successful when everyone feels happy about my performance. Be it organisers, audience or guests. The biggest prize for me is the respect I get from people who meet me in person and people who always ask about my well being on social media. The love they have for me is just unreal. I am really lucky to have so many lovely people around me. Helps me keep going!”
Anupam is a Self-preneur, one who develops a “life model” for themselves, acquires the human and other required resources, and is fully responsible for his success or failure. Right from the beginning of his freelance career, he has been managing everything himself. Be it meetings with the clients, dealing with them, executing their events, and delivering them satisfaction. That’s why we term him as One Man Army.
What are the Qualities of a Successful Self Preneur?
Passion
Anupam’s passion for becoming the best in the field keeps him motivated towards his growth. This is why he keeps sharpening his skills because he knows the brutal competition in his field.
Self-discipline
Anupam’s self-discipline is the reason for his dynamic personality, super-fit physique, and manly voice. The level of his self-discipline can be deduced from the fact that he loves eating panipuri but hasn’t eaten them for the past few years as it harms his voice.
Risk-taking ability
Anupam has been living “Risk hai to ishq hai lala!” since his college days. After completing his engineering, he got a high-paying desk job, but his heart was always with his first love, his mic. So, he quit his job, left his stable income, and made his empire in the work he loves.
Creative thinking
You have to be very creative when you’re dealing with a massive crowd with a different taste. Sometimes the crowd is fun-loving; sometimes, they’re just a bunch of people who love decent speech. It’s just that you have to be spontaneous, and Anupam is very good with it.
Persistence
Believing in your talent is one thing, and trying every day to improve your skill is a different and essential thing. Anupam keeps all the success out of his head when he walks into an event, and he stays persistent in improving himself every day.
A majority of industries and entrepreneurs faced the wrath of Covid-19 in 2020, and the pandemic hasn’t ended yet. Still, Anupam’s ability to adapt to the situation and pivot accordingly gave a completely different result during India’s complete lockdown. He did commentaries in esports tournaments, hosted Corporate Parties, Business Conferences, and many other events right from his laptop. During the 2nd wave of Covid in 2021, when everything was shut down, Anupam didn’t shut himself down. Instead, he came up with his Infotainment show The Weekly with ChoubeyJi, which garnered the attention of a lot of viewers as it focused on less talked about issues of the society. His calmness during this storm kept him much ahead in this business.
Anupam has constantly worked with famous celebrities like Yash(KGF Fame), Suniel Shetty, Sahil Khan, Benny Dayal, etc. This year he also featured in Flipkart’s Dating Aaj Kal hosted by Karan Kundra and even won the show. The amount of success he has garnered is enough to corrupt anyone’s mind. Still, his decency and down-to-earth nature is the quality that earns him so much respect among the backstage crew, organisers, event managers, his audience, his family, and literally everyone.
