Meet India-born US serial entrepreneur Sunny Gupta who sold 4 startups and the last one for $2B
Summary
Building four tech startup ventures in the enterprise software space and seeing equally successful exits, with the last one going up to $2 billion, has not dimmed the appetite of Sunny Gupta, 49, a Chandigarh-born entrepreneur who is based in the US. It came in the form of his fourth venture, called Apptio, where Sunny felt he was ready as an executive and build a company, which could last a lifetime. Sunny feels most entrepreneurs have a hard time admitting their mistakes, being a lot focused on the original idea, and not listening or morphing. As a third piece of advice, Sunny took the unconventional route where he would ask potential investors if they would write a cheque for the company they were planning to start. As part of his entrepreneurial journey, Sunny also realised that companies were formed due to people, and it is important to have founders who have complementary skillsets.
