Ankur Warikoo Reveals His Annual Income; Here's How He Earns

Ankur Warikoo, a well-known entrepreneur and content creator on social media, started his career earning just Rs 14,746 per month. After stepping away from a PhD program in the U.S., he pursued an MBA at the Indian School of Business (ISB), which set him on a successful path in consulting.

About Ankur Warikoo's Career:

At 24, he began his career earning Rs 14,746 per month, a humble start that set the stage for an incredible journey. His life changed dramatically when he chose to leave a fully-funded PhD program at Michigan State University. Instead, he returned to India, investing Rs 14.5 lakh to enroll in the intensive one-year MBA program at the Indian School of Business (ISB).

This decision proved right when on his first day of campus placements, Warikoo secured a consulting position with AT Kearney, with an initial annual package of Rs 12 lakh. Within five years, his strategic growth in the consulting field had boosted his earnings to Rs 33 lakh, marking the start of a remarkable professional ascent.

Here's How Much He Earns Now:

Today, Ankur Warikoo is self-employed and earns an annual salary of Rs 50 lakh, a figure he recently shared on X (formerly Twitter) while asking for suggestions on a new travel credit card. In his post, he wrote, “Need your help, lovely people. I am relinquishing my Axis Vistara Credit Card… Recommendations please? Annual spends between Rs 20-25 lakhs. I am self-employed and draw a salary of 50Lpa.”
