   He Bet On Himself: Amit Garg Quit Corporate To Build Vypzee | Unbound With Mamtaa

   He Bet On Himself: Amit Garg Quit Corporate To Build Vypzee | Unbound With MamtaaAmit Garg spent nearly 25 years in a high-flying corporate career — from the US tech industry to a chief product scientist role back in India. Then COVID hit, and he walked away from all of it to start Vypzee, a venture aimed at digitising India's offline retail businesses, from neighbourhood shops to established malls.It wasn't a sudden decision. The idea had been sitting with Amit since 2004, when he first noticed the gap between India's digital landscape and what he'd seen in the US. He almost took the leap in 2006. It took until 2020 — and a global pandemic — for everything to finally align.In this episode, Amit shares the personal rule that's guided his entire career: if a job can't get you out of bed excited 300 days a year, don't do it. He talks about the moment he got stopped outside a Patanjali store for taking a photo during a market survey, why he believes founders shouldn't marry their idea — but it's okay to divorce it when the market isn't ready — and how the Netflix pivot from DVDs to streaming shaped the way he thinks about timing and technology.Amit also opens up about the quieter side of building something new: the credibility gap every first-time founder faces, the discomfort of explaining a concept nobody has seen before, and why he believes continuous, patient engagement with customers is the only real way through it. Underneath all of it is a steady belief that family support and long-term conviction matter more than any single funding round or milestone.This is a conversation about betting on yourself: knowing an idea is right long before the world is ready for it, and having the courage to walk away from everything comfortable to prove it.In this episode, we talk about:Leaving a 25-year corporate career to start over as a founderThe 300-days rule: how Amit decides what work is worth doingWhy digitising offline retail is one of India's biggest untapped opportunitiesThe Patanjali store survey story and the credibility challenge every founder facesWhy founders shouldn't marry their idea, but it's okay to divorce itThe Netflix pivot as a lesson in timing, technology, and patienceBuilding a business around family support and long-term convictionIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's waiting for the right moment to bet on themselves.Follow Unbound With Mamtaa for more raw, honest conversations with founders, leaders, and changemakers who are redefining what success looks like.Host: Mamtaa DhingraGuest: Amit Garg, Founder, VypzeeSubscribe for new episodes every week.#UnboundWithMamtaa #AmitGarg #Vypzee #FounderStory #Entrepreneurship #StartupJourney #CareerPivot #DigitalIndia #FounderMindset #BetOnYourselfConnect With Mamtaa: LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/mamtaadhingra/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/mamtaapodcaster/Twitter- https://twitter.com/DhingraMamtaaFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/mamtaa.dhingra13

   From Outcast To Expert, How Adnaan Khan Built India's Top Dog Academy

   From Outcast To Expert: How Adnaan Khan Built India's Top Dog Training Academy | Unbound With MamtaaAdnaan Khan was called an outcast for most of his life. He battled tinnitus at age 11, leprosy at 14, and survived a brain aneurysm surgery at just 26 — all while being labelled "different" by people around him. But somewhere along the way, Adnaan realised his biggest weakness was actually his biggest strength.Today, he's the founder of K9 School, one of India's most respected dog training academies, and the non-profit Canine Healers. His dogs have been trained for security and defence work, and his journey from a misunderstood teenager to a nationally recognised expert is one of the most powerful stories we've featured on Unbound With Mamtaa.In this episode, Adnaan opens up about the classism he faced when he chose dog training as a career, the years he spent being mocked for a passion that the world eventually caught up to (he was years ahead of India's pet-parenting boom, long before COVID made it mainstream), and the philosophy that changed how he sees setbacks: Correct, Redirect, Praise — a method he built for dogs that now guides how he leads his life and his business.This conversation is about resilience without the polish. It's about what happens when you stop trying to fit in and start building something only you could build.In this episode, we talk about:Growing up with chronic illness and how it shaped his resilienceThe classism and judgment he faced for choosing dog training as a careerWhy being an introvert became his biggest advantage, not his limitationTraining dogs for security and defence forcesBeing early to the pet-parenting industry, years before it boomedThe CRP philosophy: Correct, Redirect, Praise, and how it applies far beyond dog trainingWhat it really takes to build a training academy from nothingIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear that being different is not a disadvantage, it might just be your biggest edge.Adnaan's story is proof that the things people mock you for today can become the exact thing that sets you apart tomorrow. Whether you're building a business, switching careers, or just trying to belong somewhere, this episode is a reminder that your path doesn't have to look like anyone else's to be the right one.Follow Unbound With Mamtaa for more raw, honest conversations with founders, leaders, and changemakers who are redefining what success looks like.Host: Mamtaa DhingraGuest: Adnaan Khan, Founder, K9 School and K9 HealersSubscribe for new episodes every week.#UnboundWithMamtaa #AdnaanKhan #CanineSchool #DogTraining #FounderStory #Resilience #Podcast #IndianPodcast #Entrepreneurship #Mindset #CanineHealers #FromOutcastToExpertConnect With Mamtaa: LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/mamtaadhingra/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/mamtaapodcaster/Twitter- https://twitter.com/DhingraMamtaaFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/mamtaa.dhingra13
