Dipti Sharma is an entrepreneur, LinkedIn personal branding strategist, and Co-Founder of Foundr X, a personal branding venture helping founders, professionals, and businesses build a stronger presence on LinkedIn.
She aspires to be known as a multi-venture entrepreneur who builds meaningful businesses while creating opportunities for young people and contributing to social entrepreneurship.
Early Life & Background
Dipti comes from a joint family whose roots are in Birpur, Supaul, Bihar, near the India–Nepal border. Her father works in a government job, and his career led the family to move to Purnia, Bihar, where Dipti completed her early education.
She studied up to Class 10 at Bright Career School and completed Class 12 at SRDAV Public School, Purnia.
After school, Dipti moved to Kolkata for her graduation at Bhawanipur Education Society. One of the defining moments of her early life came when she had hoped to pursue her studies at the University of Delhi. Circumstances prevented that plan from working out, and the experience became an important lesson in dealing with unfulfilled plans and moving forward.
Career Journey
During graduation at Bhawanipur Education Society, Dipti began thinking seriously about financial independence. She started applying for internships and opportunities through platforms such as Internshala, but finding her first opportunity was difficult.
She eventually entered content writing in 2024, beginning with an income of around ₹2,000 per month. From there, she explored different roles, including sales, while continuing to learn and build her skills.
The loss of her grandmother became a major personal turning point. Dipti was extremely close to her grandmother, who was one of her strongest supporters and always believed she would achieve something meaningful in life. The loss strengthened Dipti’s determination to build a life and career that would make her family proud.
In January 2025, Dipti moved into LinkedIn personal branding. She began learning through practical experience rather than relying on a formal course, joined an agency to understand the field, and gradually developed her own approach.
Her journey then moved from agency work to freelancing. While pursuing her MBA in Greater Noida, she co-founded Foundr X with her childhood best friend, Rajeshwari.
Current Work & Expertise
Dipti is currently the Co-Founder of Foundr X and works in LinkedIn personal branding. She helps founders, professionals, and businesses build their presence on LinkedIn through content, positioning, personal branding, and consistent communication.
She has worked across multiple industries and niches and has worked with 100+ clients. Her work focuses on helping clients achieve outcomes such as stronger visibility, audience growth, and business opportunities.
Communication is one of Dipti’s strongest skills. She enjoys speaking, connecting with people, and helping others think through their career and business decisions.
Achievements, Leadership & Recognition
While pursuing her MBA, Dipti has continued to take active leadership roles alongside building Foundr X.
She has more than 18,000 followers on LinkedIn and has worked with 100+ clients. She has also built Foundr X into a six-figure business while continuing her academic journey.
In college, she served as a club president and organised more than 10–15 events, including events that required intensive overnight coordination. She was also a co-organiser for TEDx IILM.
She has completed multiple certifications and participated in an NISM programme in Navi Mumbai for 15 days. She has also delivered a guest lecture at her college.
Another milestone for Dipti was appearing on The Collaborative Canvas podcast, which was subsequently featured in magazines. She also bought her first MacBook with her own earnings, a personal milestone that represented the progress she had made towards financial independence.
Philosophy & Personal Perspective
Dipti believes that people often wait too long for the perfect moment to begin. Her own experience taught her that progress starts when you are willing to take the first step, learn as you go, and keep showing your work.
She believes visibility matters: if people do not know what you can do, they cannot recognise your ability. Her approach is therefore rooted in starting, learning, doing the work, and consistently putting it out into the world.
Impact & Contribution
Dipti enjoys helping people, particularly young professionals and students, think through decisions related to their careers, work, and growth. She often finds herself helping people in her personal and professional circles when they need another perspective.
Social entrepreneurship is an area she wants to explore more deeply in the future, with a particular interest in creating opportunities and helping young people build better careers.
Personal Side
Dipti comes from a joint family whose roots are in Birpur, Supaul, Bihar, near the India–Nepal border. Her father works in a government job, and his career led the family to move to Purnia, Bihar, where Dipti completed her early education.
Her personal world also includes her brothers and sisters, her childhood best friend, and a close circle of friends who have remained an important part of her journey. These relationships keep her grounded while she balances entrepreneurship, academics, and her personal goals.
Her journey is shaped by a strong desire to make her family proud, especially the family members she has lost and who believed deeply in her potential.
Future Vision
Over the next three to five years, Dipti wants to build herself into a recognised multi-venture entrepreneur. She wants to build multiple ventures, explore social entrepreneurship, create opportunities for young people, and eventually launch courses based on her experience.
Beyond business, she wants to travel the world, achieve personal milestones such as owning her dream car and dream bike, and continue building a life that gives her both professional growth and personal freedom.
Advice for Someone Starting from Scratch
“Just start.”
Dipti believes that people starting with no connections, money, or audience often spend too much time wondering who will notice them. She experienced the same hesitation herself.
Her advice is to start with what you genuinely care about, keep learning, and begin showcasing your work. People cannot recognise what they cannot see. Consistent effort, visibility, and patience can eventually turn a small beginning into meaningful results.
Closing Statement
Dipti Sharma’s journey reflects a willingness to start again, learn through experience, and build while still figuring things out. From beginning her career at ₹2,000 a month to building a six-figure venture while pursuing her MBA, she continues to work towards becoming a multi-venture entrepreneur while creating opportunities for others.
