Entrepreneur and Shark Tank India judge Aman Gupta has often made headlines for his candid statements and straight-forward personality. He recently appeared on a podcast where he spoke about his childhood, parenting, getting bullied while growing up, and much more. He further opened up about the concept of ‘ work-life balance .’






While talking to Prakhar Gupta in a YouTube podcast, he mentioned how he doesn’t believe in work-life balance and is an extremist. He further revealed how there was a time when he worked 16–18 hours a day and is okay with it.


While talking about it, he shared, “Earlier, I didn’t even know what work-life balance meant. However, Gen Z doesn’t just work but also enjoys life. They take more risks, which we never used to, so there’s a lot that I’ve learnt from people of this generation.”


He further shared, “As you get rich, you realise that it was never about money. As entrepreneurs, we are obsessed with growth and challenges. We want to grow and do something for mankind. There was a time when I used to go on holidays a lot, but then I got bored of it and started missing work, so it’s always about growth. There was a time when I was extremely obsessed with work. I used to work 16 hours a day. However, one should know when to switch off from it. Moreover, I believe in imbalance.”


Talking about how his wife helped him during his struggling days, he said, “Till I was 40, meri wife ke paise se ghar chalta tha. I’m a very hardworking guy, but I’ve seen the ups and downs in life. I’ve burnt the midnight oil and everything to be where I am today. I don’t remember much of when my daughter was growing up because I was busy working.”
