Aman Gupta, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of boAt, won the Best Celebrity Creator Award on March 8. Prime Minister Narendra Modi honoured content creators at the National Creators Award held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi.
Now, the Shark Tank India judge has posted his reaction on social media. While sharing a photograph of the award, he wrote: “The words “Government of India”, the “National Emblem” and the title “National award” …. Man this award hits different.”
While receiving the award, he shared with PM Modi how he had begun his business in 2016. Quickly, boAt became one of the biggest audio brands globally.
“When we started in 2016 when 'Startup India' was unveiled, people did not take us seriously. Seven years later, we have become the world's second-largest audio brand," said Gupta whose popularity skyrocketed after he had become one of the Sharks on Shark Tank India.
"I wish that a good tech brand goes out to other parts of the world and is appreciated the way we look at global brands," he added. His company now manufactures 70% of products in India, Aman Gupta said.
