Vedanta Group Chairman Anil Agarwal advised young founders to start small and keep going without getting tired as ‘success is invisible in the beginning’ on Wednesday, May 21.
“Start small, but just keep going. The growth curve keeps going up and down, if you stick to it firmly, it will pick you up one day,” Agarwal posted on social media X, serving mid-week motivation for Indian entrepreneurs.
The 71-year-old shared that he’s learnt that patience, long-term commitment, and consistency are key to achieving success, recalling the initial days of building Vedanta and the challenges such as not being able to pay the team.

Agarwal, who built Vedanta into a metals and mining giant worth ₹171,059 wrote, “I was also young when I laid its foundation. I thought success would be achieved in a year or two. It would take five years at the most…Forget five years. I didn’t see results in the first ten years. But eventually things started moving. Slowly at first. Then together. Believe me, success is invisible in the beginning. It is built over time, with patience.”
Vedanta’s stock opened green on the morning of Wednesday, May 21. It is trading at ₹ 436.60 per share as of 10.13 AM, up by 0.28% from previous day’s closing rate.
In an exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18 last month, Agarwal said Vedanta will cut debt by $1 billion in 2025, followed by another $1 billion in 2026, and $1.5 billion in 2027, bringing the total debt reduction to $3.5 billion over the next three years.
