How Bobby Thakkar Built a 6 Figure Business While in High School

When Bobby Thakkar started Grupacity Consulting in his senior year of High School, he was able to attract customers like Uber, Redbull, Chanel, and Spotify within the first three months of business – all with zero marketing.

How does an 18 year old jack of all trades accomplish what many seasoned specialized professionals struggle to attain? By spending years meticulously building a network and a following.

It all started when a sports injury forced him to stop playing tennis 8 hours a day. Instead of retreating to his friends, or spending his free time playing video games, he decided to focus on growing professionally.

In this episode we uncover how he created a massive community of 25,000 people in his sophomore and junior year of high school, and the steps that he took to quickly create a profitable business before he even got accepted into college.
