In spite of having a difficult, painful and insecure childhood, Upen has emerged as a person of influence who enlightens, uplifts and encourages others.

Upen Verma started his career as an anchor with the television shopping channel “Home Shop 18” and in 2019, the channel got shut. He worked there for eight years very comfortably and loved his job there. But because it wound up, he stepped forward in his journey to become a motivational speaker as he was always interested in helping people by talking to them. He had never planned for it but he had to do something he is good at. He is also a part-time model besides an anchor.

Upen used to be a shy kid but at the same time he was also very confident. His friends used to tell him to become an RJ or anchor or alike. One fine day, he went to a mall and was inspired by watching an event where a man was anchoring. He had a sudden thought that even he could do this. So coming back home, he texted his event coordinator friend showing him interest in doing events. Soon he got his first event as an anchor in Delhi for a big brand launching a bike. Eventually, it turned out to be the best event of his life. And his journey started with a realization that he had a talent in speaking. This led him to Home Shop 18 too. He felt blessed to have that job and never planned for the future. He was so content with it.

Upen is a believer in energies, spiritualities and meditation. He started doing motivational videos on social media and people loved his work. He says that even though people talk highly of him, he never thought the same due to having a complex and traumatic childhood. He requests everyone to treat the kids admirably and don’t get them involved in any family or other issues.

Talking about role models, he says he doesn't have a particular one because he likes to learn from everyone. He considers his friends to be his role models for letting him spend most of his time with them and feels they are responsible for his growth.

The times of covid was difficult for everyone. Personally, he also struggled with it. Due to lockdown and solitude, he used to have negative thoughts, started overthinking and got disturbing thoughts about his deep insecurities from his past and childhood. But he managed to deal with those thoughts by making a schedule for everything. Also, he started working out to balance his mental and physical health which really helped him come out of that zone. Now, he feels comfortable with himself by overcoming all the issues.

He thinks that it is not necessary to reach a certain level or to achieve something big in life to relax and spend leisure time. He wants everybody to stay happy and work on themselves to be happy in life.

In his free time, he likes to spend time with his friends, listen to music and watch movies that help in uplifting his mood. He says that the media that you are consuming, is consuming you. So make sure to watch good things.

Given a chance to travel back in time, he would go back to his childhood and change a lot of things and prevent his loved ones from leaving the world.
