Anupam has always stated that he is a family man who is close to his father. In one of the episodes of Shark Tank India, the entrepreneur recalled how his father's journey inspired him.

Anupam shared a photo of his father cutting a cake with his daughter Alyssa on Father's Day last year. "Father to 3 … @shilpamittal02 @vandana.a and me … but ‘daddy’ to everybody. Happy Father’s day dad … your big-heartedness & generosity without expecting or even accepting gratitude in return, is truly inspirational & humbling. Hope I can be as giving some day."

The first season of Shark Tank India, as well as the second season, was a huge success. The show is watched religiously by ardent fans not only for the interesting business concepts featured on each episode, but also for the show's charismatic judges, aka sharks.
