Anupam Mittal, CEO of Shaadi.com, stresses the critical importance of hiring the right leadership to prevent company failure
He shares three key strategies for selecting senior leaders: multiple relaxed meetings to gauge confidence, unnamed reference checks for candid insights, and prioritizing "builders" – individuals with high learning agility, ownership, outcome orientation, and candor.

He concludes that investing time in building a strong leadership team is essential for organizational success, garnering significant attention and agreement on social media.
