THE RISE OF ANISH SINGH THAKUR

The Boomingbulls Story
-
When Anish Singh Thakur first dipped his toes into the volatile waters of cryptocurrency back in 2017, he wasn't thinking about building India's most followed trading education platform. Like many others, he was simply a young man swept up in the Bitcoin boom. "We all got excited and we invested in Bitcoin," he recalls. "I made a lot of money... 10 lakh rupees, which is a good amount in India when you're young."
At the time, Anish wasn't even trading himself. He had handed his capital to a friend and shared the profits. It was fast, easy money—until it wasn't. "Suddenly a bear cycle came and everything crashed down," he says. "Not everything was lost, but it went downhill."
That initial success followed by sharp losses was a crash course in market reality. It also marked the beginning of Anish's transformation from an excited speculator into a system-driven trader and educator with a global vision.
Post-crypto, he moved to the Indian stock market. But here too, he ran into trouble. "People were calling, saying, 'Just deposit money, and we will trade for you.' I trusted them, put money in my account, and again, I made profits first, but then they made losses."
The cycle repeated, each time more punishing. "Somebody called me again. I deposited a lot of money. I lost everything again," he recounts. Burned and bitter, Anish realized there was only one way forward; he had to learn to trade himself.
And so began the grind. YouTube tutorials, Amazon book hauls, and seminars like Finbridge in Mumbai became his classrooms. He threw himself into learning the craft, all while becoming increasingly disillusioned by what the market was offering: overpriced, incomplete courses wrapped in slick marketing. "Once you buy their course, then you have to buy one more, then an advanced course, then another."
