Biography
[edit]Born in India, Anubhav spent most of his early years in the capital city of New Delhi and studied at St. Columba's School.[3] He created the concept for Carve Your Destiny in 2007, at the age of 21, while pursuing his studies at a university in New Delhi. The project was originally conceived as a possible entry to an international inter-university competition. However, it was rejected at the university as the implementation of the idea was not considered feasible.[4] After the early disappointment, he then decided to pursue the film independently although he was initially doubted due to his young age, lack of relevant contacts and prior filmmaking experience.[5][6] Anubhav has stated in many interviews that he faced a large number of rejections from people he approached for the film.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
In a BBC Radio interview he stated that he had conducted 11 interviews but faced 140 rejections.[18]
The film was released on YouTube and received over 2 million views.[19]
He is now a keynote speaker/trainer and provides training to companies on subjects such as Motivation, Productivity and Sales.[20] He has also written for magazines such as BW Business World[21] and others.
