A day after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire, Shaadi.com founder and Shark Tank India investor Anupam Mittal took to LinkedIn with a hard-hitting post. His post blended geopolitical observations along with a powerful call for national focus, pride and progress.
Mittal’s post was sparked by recent border tensions and aimed to redirect attention from reactionary noise to visionary nation-building. In a tone both firm and fiery, he began by metaphorically describing provocations from across the border as the desperate theatrics of a "clown across the street"—one who sets himself on fire just to stay relevant in the circus.
Drawing a sharp contrast between India and its neighbour, Mittal reflected on the divergent paths the two countries have taken since 1947. While one nation is launching satellites, he wrote, the other is “launching jihad.” He emphasised that noise does not equal power and declared that India had “pulled ahead” long ago—economically, technologically, and culturally.
Looking ahead to 2030, Mittal painted a picture of India in an entirely different orbit—ambitious, self-reliant, and globally dominant. He praised India’s recent military response, noting that the country is not an aggressor, but fully capable of defending its sovereignty and escalating when provoked. This, he said, reflects a mature and confident nation “on the brink of greatness.”
He closed his post with a rallying cry, urging Indians to avoid being distracted by neighbours with “nothing to lose” and instead channel energy into building the Indian dream—one where merit, hard work, and vision define the future. He reminded readers that while the armed forces have proven India’s strength, it’s now time for citizens to do their part by showing up, building boldly, and dreaming fearlessly.
Social media reacts
Users flooded the comments with admiration for Anupam Mittal’s message. Many echoed his call to action, referring to it as the embodiment of the “Great Indian Dream.” Several expressed gratitude towards the Armed Forces for safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty, adding that it’s now up to the citizens to build an economy that matches that strength. Others hailed the post as a powerful and timely reminder of how far India has come and how the future must be shaped with unity, vision, and determination.
