Anuj’s community journey began with PyJaipur, one of Rajasthan’s largest student-led tech communities. From those early days of grassroots organizing to leading one of India’s biggest investor and trader communities, he’s always believed in the power of people coming together.

Along the way, he’s helped scale communities at IncubateIND, SAWO Labs, Hack2Skill, and now at Motilal Oswal—earning recognition like the CMX 2025 Award for his work blending strategy, storytelling, and business alignment.

His advice to community builders: treat your first 100 members like co-founders. Most important: learn to speak both human and business—because a thriving community is one where people feel valued, voices are heard, and everyone rises together.
