Anil Gupta

Hey, I’m Anil 👋
Thanks for stopping by.
Let me give you a quick peek into who I am and what I do.
I live in Austin, Texas.
I'm CEO & C0-Founder of global web agency called Multidots.
We’ve grown fast—65% growth year-over-year.
We’ve got 100+ amazing teammates across 7 countries.
I’m proud to say we made it to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies.
But that’s just one side of the story.
I also host and write a few things:
- Peaceful Growth (newsletter + podcast)
- Learn + Grow newsletter
- WP for Enterprise newsletter
Oh—and outside work:
- I’m a certified yoga teacher
- Also, a certified barista (I take coffee very seriously ☕)
- I love reading, hiking, and… naps (yes, naps are productive—don’t argue 😄)

But hold on.
This might sound like I’ve always been “that guy” with a great life.
Truth?
3 years ago — I was deep in depression (again).
5 years ago — I had to lay off half my team.
10 years ago — I burned out hard.
15 years ago — I couldn’t afford a $1 meal.
I’m a slow learner—took me 7 years to learn how to swim. (The Olympics were never the goal anyway 😅)
I grew up in a slum.
I had zero business or social skills.
When I started out, my English was... let’s just say, not great.
Life? It didn’t give me a head start.
But I still built a multimillion-dollar business.
We help big companies. We create jobs. We make a real impact.
But I had a dream. And I didn’t quit.
I kept showing up.
Kept learning.
Kept growing.
I chose - Peaceful Growth.
Bit by bit, I built habits that shaped me:
- Reading - I’ve read 200+ books.
- Listening to podcasts - Listened to 1,000+ hours of podcasts.
- Meditation and yoga
- Discipline and self-control (still a work-in-progress on sugar and social media)

(Yes, I’m that nerdy—but in a fun way.)
That led to something wild:
I became healthier, happier, and way more productive.
Here are my Learn + Growth Reports for more details: 2024, 2023, 2022.
And guess what?
I fell in love with the process.
The journey of learning and growing felt better than any finish line. ❤️
So in 2022, I set a mission:
To inspire 100 million people to live an extraordinary life.
🧭 My GPS is:
- Growth: to keep growing, advancing, or improving in knowledge, skills, character, or life experience.
- Peace: to maintain or improve my fitness; to look after my physical and mental health and well-being.
- Spirituality: to connect with things bigger than myself.
I’m not here to impress you.
I’m here to remind you:
You don’t need to be born lucky.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need build a Peaceful Growth mindset.
Everything I’ve learned—from my wins and my wounds—
I now share through my writing, podcast, and tools.
To help you go from ordinary to extraordinary.
To build a life that grows your mind, your wallet, and your peace.
If you're ready for that ride...
Let’s learn.
Let’s grow.
Let’s go.
