Our estimate for Ankur Warikoo is about $12 million. It is an estimate, because he does not publish his finances. Public guesses run from about $2 million to $15 million, plus rupee figures of 60 to 100 crore that fall in the same area. In an earlier interview he said his company made 17 crore rupees in revenue in one year, from courses, endorsements, corporate gigs and subscriptions, and aimed for 30 crore the next. Another report says his courses earned more than 100 crore rupees over their life.

What Ankur Warikoo teaches (and what to take from it)

Warikoo teaches practical career and money habits in plain language, often through his own mistakes. Here is how we read it, with something to do this week.

1. Learn in public from your failures. Do Epic Shit is built on his setbacks. Write down one mistake from this year and the rule you would follow next time.
2. Pay yourself first. A core money habit in his teaching is investing before spending. Set up a small automatic transfer this week, even if the amount is modest.
3. Make a system for getting things done. Get Epic Shit Done is about turning intentions into routine. Choose one recurring task and give it a fixed time on your calendar.
4. Build skills that compound. His own path went from physics to consulting to start-ups to teaching. Spend two hours this week on one skill that will matter in five years.
