These 10 Indian Achievers Have Proved That You’re Never Too Young To Make It Big



Ten years ago, if you were to tell your parents that you wanted to branch out on your own or were considering sports as a career, they would have told you to wait and "give it some time." Age was not just a number, and starting out early was not only met with resistance but also doubts about your capabilities. 
The truth, though, is that you don't need to cross an age threshold to prove that you have what it takes to be successful. All you require is steely determination and endless imagination to fuel your creativity. 
If you need further reassurance, just look at these 10 Indian achievers who prove that you can never be too young to make it big. 

1. Anuja Chauhan



How does being the mind behind one of the catchiest ad slogans in the country sound? Meet Anuja Chauhan, who started at one of India's premier advertising agencies at the age of 23 and in the coming years coined some of India's most iconic catchphrases, such "Yeh Dil Mange More", "Tedha Hai Par Mera Hai" and "Be A Little Dillogical." By 33, she was one of the youngest vice-presidents in the history of the agency.

2. Sakshi Malik


You have to have been living under a rock to not know who Sakshi Malik is. At just 24 years of age, Sakshi recently became the first Indian female wrestler to win a medal at the Olympics by bagging the bronze at Rio 2016, and also the fourth female medalist from the country. However, we had already received previews of her caliber when she made her mark by bagging the silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the bronze at the 2015 Asian Wrestling Championships. 

3. Mary Kom



"Magnificent Mary" brought India Olympic honor during the 2012 Olympics, but Kom's determination had already made her a topic of pride for Indians long before then. A five-time World Amateur Boxing Champion, Mary is the only female to have bagged a medal in each of the world's six major boxing championships. Family, politics, passion, she could teach us a thing or two about balancing life.

4. Nikhil Joseph



Hey, budding entrepreneurs, Nikhil Joseph is definitely a man who you should look up to. A mechanical engineer with a passion for photography, he co-founded The Postbox, a product design company, at the age of 24. Using Instagram as a promotional tool and despite facing hurdles because of his age and limited experience, Nikhil's tireless efforts have established The Postbox as a household name and a beacon to keep indie art alive.

5. Puneet Dalmia



The MD of Dalmia Cement Ltd, Puneet is a lesson in humility and diligence. In his own words, when he joined the family business to handle marketing, his initial recommendations were turned down, which made him realize that being the scion of a booming business did not mean that he was entitled to anything. It was through sheer patience, humility, and perseverance that he made himself worthy of the title of Managing Director.
