Shark Tank judge Aman Gupta once said his home was run on his wife's money. Who is Priya Dagar? A look at their 'DDLJ' like love story
The panel of judges on Shark Tank India comprises individuals who have each faced significant adversity before achieving success, and Aman Gupta's story is no different. Known today as the co-founder and chief marketing officer of boAt, Aman walked a challenging path before becoming a household name in the Indian entrepreneurial world. Overcoming Early Financial Struggles In a candid conversation on Prakhar Ke Pravachan, Aman Gupta revisited his difficult years following his exit from a chartered accountancy role. He shared how this phase of his life was marked by financial instability. For years, he earned little to no money and relied heavily on his wife, Priya Dagar, for financial support. Despite the emotional toll, Aman kept pushing forward. He recalled travelling on local buses, strategically boarding them from the first stop to secure a seat so he could catch up on sleep or use the time to study. His dedication to growth meant working long hours—sometimes up to 16 hours a day—and switching between multiple jobs. While his peers seemed to be thriving in their careers, Aman often found himself questioning his decisions. It wasn't until he turned 40 that his professional journey began gaining the momentum he had always aspired to. He openly acknowledged that up until that age, it was his wife who carried the financial burden for the household. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo A Love Story Straight Out of a Film While Aman's career graph saw numerous setbacks, his personal life blossomed with romance and resilience. His love story with Priya Dagar is heartwarming and dramatic, almost like a plot from a romantic film. During an interaction with content creator Ranveer Allahabadia, Aman compared his own story to the Bollywood classic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. When Aman was heartbroken about Priya, his father encouraged him to go after her—mirroring the supportive father figure played by Anupam Kher in the movie. Desperate to see her one last time, Aman searched multiple train stations, trying to find where she was headed. Eventually spotting her name on a train chart, he boarded the train without a ticket, approached her, and simply said hello before walking away. That moment was enough to spark a deeper conversation between them. Since then, they've been inseparable for the last 18 years, standing by each other through thick and thin. Multiple Ventures Before boAt Aman's meteoric rise didn't happen overnight. In the same interview, he admitted that boAt wasn't his first attempt at entrepreneurship. Before this massive success, he had launched five other ventures—all of which failed to take off. However, each setback taught him valuable lessons, ultimately contributing to the brand boAt's current popularity. His Current Financial Standing Today, Aman Gupta enjoys remarkable financial success. According to a report by GQ India, his current net worth is estimated at around Rs 720 crore. From taking buses to save money to building one of India's most recognized audio tech brands, Aman's journey is a testament to perseverance, humility, and the unwavering support of a loving partner. Who Is Priya Dagar? As per her LinkedIn profile, Dagar is a professional who works in the field of venture philanthropy and investments that are sustainable and have a social impact. Earlier, she worked as a senior policy advisor at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for energy, environment, and climate change. Her professional journey spans over 15 years, during which she has fulfilled several important roles, such as Research Associate at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) and Consultant at the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. She holds an MS degree from Symbiosis International University.
