Anuj Verma — CEO
“You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.”-perfectly sums up my life spanning across —Engineering, Law, Research, Management, and Entrepreneurship — and it’s taken me through some of India’s top institutions (with a few gold medals along the way). In 2018, I rolled up my sleeves and started building India’s biggest camera accessories manufacturing company — from scratch. Under the brand Prolite, we’ve earned the trust of thousands of creators and professionals across India who rely on our studio lights, gear, and power accessories. It was born from a simple belief: India deserves world-class creative hardware, made here at home. And we made it happen. Between 2019 and 2022, I had the privilege of delivering guest lectures and full-time courses at several institutions — including my alma mater, International Management Institute, New Delhi — helping students explore business, analytics, HR, and entrepreneurship through a practical lens. It was fulfilling, but I often felt I was talking about the real world without actually showing it. So I paused. I wanted to create learning experiences that are grounded, applied, and genuinely useful. Since 2022, I’ve been working closely with Sarthak Verma, India’s leading mentor in the MBA and consulting space, to help build Career Edge — a platform that’s changing how Indian students and professionals navigate careers and higher education. I’ve helped shape the product, strategy, and growth — and seeing it impact thousands of lives has been deeply meaningful. In 2025, I launched Business Edge, a no-fluff, India-focused platform helping first-time founders, freelancers, and solopreneurs turn their ideas into sustainable businesses. I built it to be the guide I wish I had — rooted in real experience, not theory. Whether it’s customer acquisition, pricing, operations, or clarity of execution, Business Edge aims to simplify the messy journey of early-stage entrepreneurship. Earlier in my career, I led ₹500Cr+ categories at Shopclues and briefly worked on digital strategy projects with HCL Technologies. Both experiences sharpened my business instincts, but it’s teaching and mentoring that truly energize me. If you're building something, rethinking your next step, or just want to talk shop (or football/video games), let’s connect.
