There are no shortcuts to success. –Aniruddha Mohanpurkar

This month’s V Rockstar is 31-year-old Aniruddha Mohanpurkar of Team Solitaire based in Dubai and India.
He started out as a production engineer in a small manufacturing company in Pune. Then he shifted to working at India’s biggest automobile company, Tata Motors. Finally, he got settled with Satyam Computers as an SAP Consultant.
He still stays with his parents in Pune (he’s single). His favorite past time is playing cricket and cooking.
He started out as a production engineer but ended up working in one of India’s biggest software company as an SAP consultant. His goal in life used to be to go to the USA and settle there like a lot of people back then.
He described himself as the classic case of an “anti-networker” due to his perception of network marketing. He used to think that network marketing is all about irritating people ‘til they either buy the product or die. He even used to discourage people not to join network marketing businesses.
It wasn’t until his first cousin and now upline Praveen Ganegaonkar showed him the plan that he agreed to join the business. Back then, he was avoiding Praveen for a month, refusing to join the business. Today, he thanks his first cousin for not giving up on him and signing him up.
He started in 2006. He left his high-paying software job six months after joining QNET and has, until now, been doing business with QNET fulltime.
“When my leader started clocking [in at] $5000 [on] weekly cheques, that was my proudest moment,” he said.
For him, the most challenging part of it all was swallowing his pride and learning anew. Abandoning what already made him successful before and learning a new business was challenging because he could not accept going from the ground up again. He admits that the business is quite simple but also challenging. He realized that it was us who make unnecessary complications on the matter. He says we are all overqualified for this kind of business as it is simple to understand, but harder to execute.
“There are no shortcuts to success,” he quipped.
