Anupam Mittal on Founders Exiting CEO Roles

Anupam Mittal, who started Shaadi.com and is a judge on Shark Tank India, wrote about why it's okay for founders to step down as CEOs of their own companies.

He says this doesn't mean they failed.

Instead, it shows that the company is growing and needs different skills.

In the beginning, founders are great at starting the company.

But as it gets bigger, it needs people who are good at managing many employees and processes.

Mittal says this is normal in other countries, but in India, people often think the founder did something wrong.

He thinks founders should aim to be replaceable, just like the leaders of big companies like Google and Apple did.

This way, the company can grow even stronger.
